This communique is reserved for one Zed and the applicable members of the cell. This is considered confidential to the addressee and Director-level status, or Operator with direct clearance.

The target is located in an office building in Aldoustown, in the district of Westinghurst. There are four floors, the first housing a dental hygenist clinic and an express mail reception, the second a law office and property leasing agent, the third houses Sotanath Security Contracting. The top floor is undergoing renovation and is currently empty. Your target is in Sotanath.

Sotanath is a kind of middle man that handles negotiation on behalf of government and private firms with manufacturers of basic arms and defense technology. During our course of work, we’ve learned they’ve expanded their field to less overt practices. They’ve stumbled, intentionally or not, onto some data we consider to be potentially damaging to our organization. This is where your cell comes in.

Your objective is to infiltrate the Sotanath office and destroy the appropriate files (marked in detail in the attached document). Retrieval is unnecessary, but will be noted if chosen as a tact. This is where complications arise, and why we’d like to enlist your help. The data is kept in three sets, as a local copy on a networked computer in the office, a physical copy kept in the office, and another digital copy kept offline in a basement vault area. We could easily hack and delete the networked copy, but the physical copy and offline copy would remain, and they would become suspicious. Furthermore, due to some recent circumstances, our nearest cell is incapable of performing the physical tasks required.

Day-time infiltration would be difficult indeed, and is not recommended. Security is sparse overnight, usually two guards, as many as possibly three depending on the time. They are unarmed, and likely poorly trained. In order to access the vault, two keys must be turned simultaneously. These keys may be kept on the guards persons, at the security desk in the main hall, or possibly in the Sotanath director’s office.

Alarms and detection may be raised during the operation. Please avoid this if possible. However, it is sometimes unavoidable and this is acceptable. If arrest is imminent, abort the mission and flee the scene. If you manage to complete the mission with no alarms raised, and no logs or evidence of your presence, we are prepared to offer a welcoming gift for your quality work. However, I must stress this emphatically, lethal force will not be accepted in any form whatsoever. We are not terrorists, and killing security guards jeopardizes this organization more than trespassing convictions ever could.

When the data has been destroyed, please dial the attached number. It signals a meetup with operators the following day at 8 pm in the courtyard of the history campus of Aldous University. They will explain the nature of our work, welcome you as an associate, and provide you with contact information for them, myself, and anything within their power.
