Dangerous Assignment - Missing Arctic Warfare Report

As Steve is walking into the Commissioner's office, He says "Good Morning, Commissioner. Ruth said you had an assignment for me. Commissioner says "I do, Steve. How would you go about firing a rocket if the firing mechanism was frozen?" Steve said "What? You mean you dragged me in here just to try out a riddle on me?" The Commissioner says "I'm serious now, answer my question". Steve says "Okay, so if the firing mechanism was frozen, I probably wouldn't be able to fire the rocket. I suppose that's the wrong answer". The Commissioner says "No, it's the right answer and that's what's wrong". Steve says "I think you'd better start at the beginning". Commissioner says "Steve as you know the entire arctic area is a potential battleground, but sub-zero temperatures do a lot of strange things to weapons of war. All the way from impairing their accuracy to rendering them completely useless". Steve says "So, what am I supposed to do, invent a new plastic to protect them from the cold?" Commissioner says "You don't have to. it's already being made. It's a liquid which does protect weapons and electronic devices from the effects of sub-zero temperatures". Steve says "Well, that's all very interesting commissioner but I still don't see where i fit into the deal". Commissioner says "I'm coming to that. The private company which developed this new plastic has just concluded exhaustive field tests with it up in the arctic. They learned under actual conditions just how much of this liquid is to be used, how it's applied, and how it affects the accuracy of the weapons. In short, they found out a lot of pretty important information, vital information. Steve, their field representative man, named Holcomb  wrote up a complete report on it for the western hemisphere defense meeting which is slated to be held in Quebec, Canada, tomorrow. Steve says "Oh I get it. You want me to go up to Quebec and bodyguard this guy, Holcomb?" Commissioner says "I'm afraid it's a little too late for that. Last night on a side street in Quebec they found Holcomb's body. He was quite dead and the report was missing".
