Indiana Jones, an archaeologist hired by the CIA, was already infiltrating the ruins at Babylon and there discovered the location of the first of the four lost Machine parts, in Soviet-occupied Kazakhstan. Volodnikov eventually found out as well, but Jones was already one step ahead of him, headed toward Kazakhstan. After the Machine self-destructed and collapsed, Jones and Hapgood narrowly escaped and were surprised to find Voldonikov giving them a helping hand out of the ruins. Jones ultimately ended his unusual relationship with Volodnikov on friendly terms.
