Der Linguist's initial case notes:
1. Both individuals on the call are speaking Russian but it is not their native language. What country are they from? What are their native languages? Is either of them a former KGB, GRU, Stazi, or AVH agent?
2. One can hear German being spoken in the background from the caller's side of the conversation. This is a multi-tiered case with some complex dialectic issues. Assistance will be needed from German speaking C.S.I. Associates.
3. Der Linguist recognizes a woman's voice, heard in the background, as the call receiver walks into a building talking on his cell phone. Who is that woman? Why does Der Linguist recognize her voice? It is clear that members of the C.S.I. linguistic team will need to go into the field to solve this assignment.

Reality Check: The cases worked on with Der Linguist and his team are fictional. Though they are based on the real life experiences of linguists who have used their language skills, analytical skills, cultural knowledge to solve similar cases, any similarity with an actual case or individual is purely coincidental. C.S.I Associates, however, should be aware that The Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security, Defense Intelligence Agency, International Law Firms, and many multi-national corporations, employ similarly skilled linguist for their organizations own requirements.
