Safira: We are hearing rumors - confirmed by scuttlebutt amongst the NEP garrison here - that one of the War Council's number was quite nearly assassinated. This would not normally be an issue were it not for the fact that the weapon intended to be used for the job was recovered intact after the armored division protecting him at the Evora Country Club Estates annihilated him, his accessories, and a significant amount of the land around him.

My sources believe that whatever was being recovered is being transferred to Central, most likely for Great Leader's Design Bureau to study it. They will not receive it.

But before we can take it from them, we must know if it is useful, as I suspect it will be a tool that can kill Great Leader with ease, provided you reach him. So I will be sending you... here.

-Safira grabs a sheet of paper and displays an isometric map of the district on the projector-

Safira: Zona Abragao.

"These grey hab-blocks.", Lars pointe to the buildings around the towers. "Are they residencies or homes?"

Safira: -to Lars- A mixture of the two. Apartment blocks, some have been co-opted into stores or nightclubs.

-to Quartz- It was a former manufacturing district, now more of a nightlife spot. But it also carries a communications tower that routes around 80% of the NEP's communications.

And it is surprisingly undefended, even with its maximum garrison there - only one platoon keeps it safe.

-Safira reaches under the table, and places a large, black box onto the table, with a ton of cables snaking out from it-

Your goal is to reach that communications tower, and hook this wiretapping equipment up to it so that we may judge what they have found.

Omar: Hmmm.

And putting aside the security staff working at this communications tower, what would be preventing us from simply walking straight through the front door to accomplish this?

Safira: You cannot put the security staff aside. They are the issue.

There should not be many of them on-site, but they are directly next to a comms tower, so if they manage to sound the alarm, you will have multiple divisions, armored and infantry, headed directly for you.

I have planned for this.

-Safira pulls out a smaller box-

Safira: Should one of them begin radioing for backup, activate this. It will jam all communications in the district, and prevent backup from arriving until after you have left.

I would, however, greatly prefer if you were all to exercise discretion and infiltrate the tower.

"And once we get in," Lars continued. "How would we wiretap the tower?"

Safira: -to Omar- It is no issue. Though it is worth noting that the infantry will mostly patrol the rear section near the tower, here.

-Points out the upper right half of the map-

In addition, provided you are willing to ditch your gear... you may very well be able to just "walk in".

-to Omar- The tower itself is not a building, but more similar to a massively overspecced cell tower. There will be a ladder you can climb, and the wiretapping box will include equipment and instructions. Hook it into the correct line, and store it somewhere it will not be found.

-to Turax- How so?

-to Quartz- Not so much that, but because the NEP are taking what they have found very seriously. If they know something has happened in the city they are likely to increase our find's guard, and make recovery more difficult.

Einar: I have two questions.

I'm going to guess you'd prefer we keep body count to a minimum, am I correct? and the second is if there are any other objectives you'd like us to try and complete as well or if the wire tapping is all that we need to concern ourselves with.

"We are already dressed as they were, and I do hope we look our part."

All four of them are in the jumpsuit, with boots and work gloves as well as tool bags and a toolbox.

Safira: -to Einar- Correct. The NEP will be alerted by many dead as surely as if the garrison can sound the alarm themselves. Though if you must kill them all to complete the mission, the objective matters more than their lives.

No other objectives are necessary.

-to Turax- Then you may wish to hang back, and act as support in the event that your comrades trip.

-to Omar- In that case...

-Safira reaches under the table and pulls up the chest from yesterday-

Safira: I have procured multiple NEP mechanic's jumpsuits. If you wear these you will present as trained maintenance people, and provided you are able to convince the infantry staffing the site of your legitimacy, you will quite simply be able to directly walk in and tap the tower. Great Leader's regime does so frequently, so they will not ask questions.

Of course, however, if you present with... nonhuman features...

-indicates Quartz-

...it would be best to avoid this route. NEP personnel do not modify their bodies.

-Safira responds to the Helghast with a thumbs-up-
