Achin, Khandanyang, 1PM
Target: The Tyrantess
Briefing:
Welcome to Khandanyang. You will be travelling to Royal Palace in the capital city of Achin.
Your target is Khandanyang’s dictator Mei Po, Tren Po’s sister. She has succeeded and Supreme Leader after her father and brother’s sudden deaths and has proven herself to be belligerent and hostile even by her family’s standards, and is allegedly about to declare war on the United States. Our client believes that they can take advantage of the power struggle if Po is killed and install a benevolent puppet in their place.
The palace will be heavily guarded and the consequences of being caught will be dire, so be careful. I will leave you to prepare. Good luck, 47.
Mission Stories:
Legitimate Secrets: MI6 agent Steven Graves (Penelope’s elder brother) has defected to Khandanyang after his connections to Lucas Grey were exposed, promising to deliver Po classified documents. He is staying in a heavily surveilled and well-guarded guesthouse and is keeping the documents in a safe under the code 123456. If 47 steals the documents and Graves’ disguise, he can approach Po’s secretary, who will guide 47 to a private office. The guards will let 47 in after a search and Po will arrive shortly. She will order 47 to pass her the documents. While she reads them, 47 can take an ornamental dagger out of its case and slit her throat with it.
If she reads them in full, Po will get up, excuse herself and leave the room. She’ll tell her guards that the documents, allegedly describing an altercation in Baghdad, are actually just the plot synopsis of a subpar action film she recently watched and are therefore worthless. She will order them to kill Graves. Guards will barge in and shoot at 47 and his disguise will be rendered hostile to all areas.
Terror Training: Khandanyang had recently hijacked and stolen a Chinese airplane. It is in pretty good shape aside from a small hole in the side, and is in a previously disused military base. Po intends to use the plane as part of training for a mission to hijack and crash a South Korean airplane. Unfortunately for her, the drill sergeant had fallen ill with a fever and is recuperating at the military barracks.
Dressed as the drill sergeant, 47 can order a roll call for the Heavenly Guard soldiers and make them perform exercises until Po arrives. 47 can ask Po to enter the plane to speak with her privately about the mission and kick her out of the hole in the plane. Alternatively, 47 can ask Po to meet him in the plane, not show up and either order the soldiers to shoot up the plane with Po inside it or detonate explosives rigged to the plane, killing her.
Exclusive with Evil: Po has set up an exclusive interview with Pamela Kingsley to dispel nasty rumours and talk about her reforms.
She set up a chair on the edge of a cliff near a waterfall due to the beautiful view. However, Kingsley’s cameras were broken due to the rough inspecting of airport officials, so she has gone inside the palace to plead for a new camera. Stealing a camera from a studio, 47 can pass it to her start the interview.
47 can rig an explosive in a passageway underneath Po’s spot. During the interview, he can detonate the bomb, causing the ground beneath Po to collapse and her to plummet to her death.
Raise a Glass: The palace kitchen staff are preparing lunch for Po, but can’t find the wine bottle (Viñedo Yates Cabernet Sauvignon) she wants paired with her meal. The bottle has secretly been accidentally broken by a cook who cleaned up the mess and is fretting outside the kitchen. There are two more bottles: one brought along by GNN and resting in their news van and one in Po’s bedroom. The wine bottle will have to be placed in the kitchen.
47 can ring the dinner bell and alert Po that her lunch is ready without getting the wine bottle, though she will be upset and say she will discipline the chef afterwards before tucking into her meal.
Po has a food taster who will taste every dish that is handed to her, and she will refuse to eat anything without it being tasted for her. 47 must impersonate the food taster and pretend to sample the food before Po eats it herself. She will, however, drink the wine without demanding it be tested.
If Po’s food taster is poisoned (lethal, sedative or emetic), Po will go to the kitchen, accuse the head chef of attempting to kill her and have her guard execute him.
Other Assassination Challenges: Crushed with Jin Po’s statue, drowned in fountain, smothered in bed
Exits: Fighter jet, private jet, airplane, limo, helicopter, yacht, fishing trawler
Disguises: Guard, Heavenly Guard solder, palace staff member, head chef, cook, food taster, drill sergeant, cameraman, Steven Graves
Notes:
- Po adopted the infant daughter of a pair of dissidents she had executed and raised her as her own. The girl is absent from the mission due to studying in Switzerland.
and if it’s in an urban location, we could have a few city blocks to play with (to make it useful for Contracts and elusive targets).
