Main talk by Agent 14.
Steal an aircraft from the Vagos contraband smugglers at McKenzie Airfield. To be used to get Rashkovsky out of the country after the prison break.
Hijack a prison transport bus in a high security convoy for use in the break out. When clear of the authorities, store it near Sandy Shores.
Half the team has to get a police cruiser, pose as cops, and go into a police station to get the prison transport schedule. The other half has to retrieve Rashkovsky's stolen car from a cargo ship at the Port of LS.
Half the team has to take out some lawyers outside City Hall, and bring back their deposition. The other half has to silently dispatch Rashkovsky's business partner and his guards.
So, Mr Crest said we should talk about work... but er... not here. So is there a room in the back or something?
Cool, I'll get set up.
So, Mr Crest said you might be able to help me out with something. Well not me, so that's clear, it's not me you're gonna be helping. And I want it understood that I am not involved. Just a bystander doing a favor and this is not an offer of employment, so much as an opportunity, and well... anyway, that's just getting a bit technical, but the point is... sometimes our fair and legal justice system makes mistakes, and this is one such time. Here he is... Professor Maxim Rashkovsky. You know the professor?
Used to be head of research for the army. Three doctorates, overconfident polymath, vain sociopath, tedious egomaniac, control freak, geneticist, weapons development, engineer, car nut, but definitely not a people person.
Accused of espionage along with everything else. You don't remember? Well lucky you. Exceedingly vain and self-absorbed man, brilliant at everything he does, yadda yadda yadda, makes you wanna puke. He's a Goddamn traitor. I mean he's a rat, but he pays.
Incarcerated for a crime he did commit, but well, let's just say money talks and he's going to walk.
So, we've got a few things to get ready, all pretty straight forward. Do them one at a time but any way you like. Standard OP for a gov fac breakout, if you know what I mean. Rad...
Alright, first thing's a plane, then we've got a bus, then... well... two things, we've got the inmate transfer schedule and Rashkovsky's car, more on that later. Let me show you. We need a plane to get the professor out of the country. It's currently being used to traffic drugs by transnational street gang, the Vagos.
The bus... we need a standard Bolingbroke transport vehicle, the least traffic is on the route from Paleto Bay, alright? That's where you're gonna be able to get hold of one. You can get a hard copy of the inmate transit schedule at the LSPD's Mission Row station. Go in unarmed, play it cool, you might not have a problem. That's a two person job, max. The other two-hander is our guy's prized Casco, we believe it's about to be shipped to Korea by a luxury car theft ring.
Okay, Mr Crest said you guys were at least semi-competent, so well... Professor Rashkovsky pays well.
So, you're moving on the plane. It's at McKenzie Airfield. Logistics are as yet undecided. Go in how you like. But go in with a good supply of ammunition, armor, and maybe even explosives. It's going to get kinda heavy.
Like I said before, the airfield is under Vagos control, they're using the plane to make trafficking runs across border. That means it's already set up to take Rashkovsky out of the country. Limited radar visibility, plausible cover story - it's perfect. Don't let the fact that there are a bunch of angry drug dealers waiting for you affect how you go in... or, actually, do.
Some more background on the Vagos. Okay, globalized, multi-national, decentralized criminal network. Their principal interest is in drug trafficking, but they've diversified into mid-level distribution, end user sales, and trafficking other contraband. You get caught with a kilo of coke, they throw the book at you. You're caught with a quart of capybara semen, it's a slap on the wrist. And the market for large endangered rodent ejaculate is lu-cra-tive.
Most of the Vagos upper management, "shot callers" if you like, are already incarcerated, here in the States and throughout Central and Latin America. They run the network on cell phones, and it's a relatively flat hierarchy at the top, so if you cut one head off, there are six more waiting to bite. Not that I want to dismantle any criminal networks, as you know I'm a criminal myself. I just like to do my homework... criminal homework. The prison angle's going to help us sell our raid on Bolingbroke. It's not something they would do, but it's the kind of thing the authorities believe that they would do, which is all that really matters. You get me? Okay.
Maintaining the integrity of the plane is the priority here. Don't rush this. Looks like a shit show down there. Clear the airstrip before you think about taking that bird into the sky. If the plane gets shot up, we're back to alpha.
Vagos cell phones are going loco, people. Expect more of them any second now. But remember, the mission is the plane.
The gang task force better send us a thank you for this. Even more Vagos coming at you.
Keep it up down there. The more noise you make at the airstrip, the more plausible the cover story becomes.
I think that's all the Vagos have got. In a few weeks we'll leak this to a sympathetic reporter, and they'll get fingered for the breakout. Now clear the area, and clear up any stray traffickers you encounter.
Air traffic's telling me the bird is airborne. Stay at the airstrip and deal with any more Vagos that come at you. This operation will not be compromised by blowback from this.
Alright, my people are waiting for the plane at LSIA. Vagos channels are totally dark. I would not expect any more action in Blaine County. Either come back to the city, or take in the natural beauty at a vista point.
My people have the plane at LSIA.
//
Air traffic's telling me you're airborne. Bring it to the airport and you're done. The rest of the team's going to clean up the Vagos.
Pilot, come in, is there any cargo on the plane? Drugs, guns, wild animals? I guess if you're flying you haven't been charged by a coked up crash of rhinos. after opening a Marabunte Grande shipment of untaxed cocobolo wood. What lesson can you take from this - it ain't the size of the dog in the fight, it's the amount and toxicity of the venom in the dog's sac, unless the dog is really f-ing big then you're screwed anyway. So, uh, look out for creepy crawlies, and any drugs on that plane belong to me. Man, I love selling drugs. I am a criminal after all.
My team's waiting at LSIA. Can we hurry this up please? We need to clean this up quick, so leave the area as soon as you've handed over the plane.
The ground team did well. I don't expect any more Vagos activity in that part of the state for a day... six hours minimum.
We're only clear to stay in the airport so long. Let's do this.
The sooner you touch down at LSIA, the happier everyone will be.
Worker: Good job. We'll take care of this.
Okay, it's time to "catch" the bus. You can have that. It's on the road from the prison to Paleto, and I'm here if you need me. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking it'd be easier to take an old school bus, paint it, bar the windows, and make it smell like blood, bowels, and your brother's high school tube sock. Sure, we could do that, but it'd cost money. And this is costing us... is costing Rashkovsky enough already. So you're hitting the transport, and you're not second guessing us again.
The prison bus is set to move. They're holding a grade X inmate classed national security risk. The bad news is that means there's an armed security detail. The good news is, the authorities will think we're trying to break him out and they'll be distracted from what's really going on. You read me?
Okay, so we need the bus intact. Cleanest way to do that would be neutralising the driver... just so you know.
You see that chopper tailing the bus? Local law enforcement are gonna keep on coming unless you down it.
Random: Take me back to Bolingbroke! Without the drugs, I'll be a monster again. // Take me home! I need the psychotropic or I'll turn into him again!
Okay. Looks like things are heating up. You'll need to lose the police attention before you come anywhere near us again.
The locals are watching the roads. Take the bus onto the dirt, and you'll have more chance of losing 'em.
Looks like you're clear. Everyone thinks it's a breakout gone wrong, they're looking in the wrong place. Bring the transport to the junkyard outside Sandy Shores. One of my people will look after it 'til we go in.
You know those games you play, where someone gets out a rocket launcher, and people go, "Where was he keeping that? It's so unrealistic"? I say to them, "you've clearly not spent much time in the US prison system". Levity and pop culture references are useful tools when trying to gain the trust of new associates.
How's the bus? No one hiding in the back with a cell phone, a carton of cigarettes, a pint of pruno up his ass? Amazing what they can fit up there. The lifers especially.
Worker: Nice. We'll hold onto this for you.
Okay, we got two teams. Split up and hit your objectives. I'm setting up a healthy atmosphere of competitiveness - use that.
Station team - you're going for the Bolingbroke transit schedule.
You've got the right uniforms, but they'll be no good to you if you turn up on foot or in civilian transportation. Get a hold of a cop car using any means necessary,then you can go to the station. And, I shouldn't need to say this, don't get yourselves killed.
You got a car? Okay, make sure no one's following you.
You can't turn up at the station while you're wanted by the police... unless you're turning yourself in, that is. Lose the cops.
From the looks of it, you're clear. Now, go into the station, and come out with the hard copy. On the way in, you won't have a problem with the cops, unless you act stupid. I would do this quickly, if I were you. Just in case someone adds two and two and makes you.
You got it? Alright, get out of there. Okay, now I'm going to need you to torch the cop car to stop this coming back at us. There are some gas cans under the Olympic Freeway in Murrieta Heights that'll do the job.
(((Good work on the schedule. But now you got to wait 'til the team on the car delivers it. But now you got to wait until the other team's delivered the schedule. Make yourselves useful, or make yourselves scarce, okay? Goodbye.)))
Docks team - Rashkovsky's car is part of a shipment headed out into the Pacific any day now. These guys are professional thieves with money at stake, so don't expect a walk in Mirror Park.
Looks like you're almost at the cargo ship - get on board, climb the stack, and access the container with the car in it. Then bring the car to my people and we'll get it out the country. The car's a late 50s Lampadati Casco - Rashkovsky says it's a classic, I call it leverage, you're going to think it's a pain in the ass.
Look out for their people on the ship, you don't want to start a fight with them until you have to. The car's in a locked container at the top of the stack, you'll need to climb up to it, and shoot open the lock.
The car's in the container. Shoot the lock to open it up.
You got it. Once you're sure they're not following, bring it in.
You got it? Alright, get out of there. Okay, now bring the car to my driver. Should be obvious, but we need this car in good shape to give to Rashkovsky. It's meant to be priceless. And our man's imminent place on the FIB most wanted list is gonna make him ineligible to make insurance claims. You understand? Look after it.
Okay, looks like they're sending people after the Casco. You need to drop these guys before you bring the car back.
Drop as in ice them, or drop as in lose them. I don't mind.
I hope you're looking after his car. There's only so much damage we can blame on the export crew. Blood stains, bullet holes, burn marks - they'll go under general wear and tear. Anything freaky's gonna be a problem.
Where are you at with that car? I was worried about it taking damage. Now, I'm worried about how many miles it'll have on the clock. Plot a course to my driver, and follow it quick. Maybe one day you'll file a few patents, head up some research projects, bring that knowledge into the boardroom, and be able to afford a car like this yourself. Until that day comes, don't think about driving around like you own it. Okay? Pronto, people.
You almost there? My driver's been mainlining Junk Energy drinks and downloading soft rock classics for a forty hour drive to Central America, and she'd really appreciate it if you hurried up and sent her on her way.
Girl: Hey! Out! I'm taking over.
(((Well done. She's on the road. But now you got to wait until the other team's delivered the schedule.)))
Hey, good work people. Great job. Nice, we're still in business, very well done. All of you, very, very... non-incriminating. Yes, that's the word I'm looking for. Ah, you know it's ironic given we er, er.... Maybe now's not the best time to discuss irony. God, what is wrong with me, you know? I'm usually such a high achiever, you know? For a criminal.
So... before we remove Professor Rashkovsky from his unwelcome stay in prison we've got to... we've got to clean up a few other loose ends pertaining to the case. Yes, it's a killing, but no, it's nothing immoral at all. Just lawyers. Well, the professor's old business associate and two lawyers, but really it's all the same. I mean, I always say if you can't kill a couple of lawyers to bend the law to your will then who can you kill, right?
Oh, here they are - Gavin Van Der Loop and Josh Sherman. Get them on the way to City Hall, get the documents they're carrying. The business partner is Dima Popov - extremely rich, extremely paranoid and extremely horrible. Don't cry for this guy, no one else will.
He's renting a place up in Richman Glen. Just him... and a huge security team. Get close to him, take him down, and after that we should be ready to go.
Final stretch now. It's a two horse race with two of you in each horse - the ass and the head. Horse one is going for the lawyers at city hall. Horse two is on the business partner in Richman. Sound good? Get moving.
Horse one, there's a ladder going up to the roof of the building opposite City Hall. You've got your long range rifles, right? We want to minimize risk of failure, so you're taking your kills at exactly the same time. Coordinate your shots.
Climb the ladder, get in position on the rooftop.
The other team just cleaned up at Popov's house. Bring the deposition back in.
You got a clear view of the steps? Van Der Loop and Sherman are en route in a black Benefactor Schafter, do not shoot until they are out of the car.
Here they come. Wait 'til they're out and take the shots at the exact same time. Two shots, two kills.
Well done. Now, go down and get their documents, and if the police corner you, make sure you're killed not captured.
Do not bring those documents anywhere near the apartment until you are sure the police are not following you. Copy?
Horse two, your target is Dima Popov, did I mention he's paranoid, well yeah, he's really paranoid. No one I know employs as many bodyguards as he does, and I know some people who need serious protection... Mainly because I'm trying to kill them... you didn't hear that. I've given you pistols with suppressors to get the job done on the QT.
Alright, you're going in on the quiet, gain access to the estate, move slowly, take out the guards, and bring down Popov when you get up close.
If a guard sees you, and sounds the alarm, Popov will run. And then he'll disappear. And he won't appear again anywhere we could possibly get to him. Okay?
So, do it slow, do it quiet, do it right. And if you don't, put him down quick when he starts running. Before it stirs, a cheetah will spend hours crawling to its prey.
We've got a bit of a problem. Some asshole got wind of what we're up to, apparently killing a guy's closest associate puts a bit of a spotlight on him.
Anyway, now I'm told they've put a price on the professor's head so we've gotta move, now. Is that clear? Can we get going, alright? And remember, the professor is paying you, not me. Not me at all. So keep him alive. Based on this inmate transfer schedule, Bolingbroke are expecting a new arrival.
One of you is going to intercept the transport, make sure it doesn't get there. Two of you are going to be taking our prison bus and making your way into the facility in its place. You'll be playing inmate and guard. Stay in character as long as it's useful, then make your way to the rooftops, I'll get on the radio and give you a path to the prof.
Meanwhile, the pilot will have picked up the plane and be waiting on the evac in the air. Whoever stole the bus will be bypassing the prison and torching it somewhere discreet. After that, it's just a matter of getting your guy out of the clink and getting him onto the plane.
Everyone flies out of there except for the bus thief. Professor Rashkovsky takes control of the plane, the three of you onboard take a jump, the professor is out of US airspace and reunited with his precious car. Simple, should be the easiest money you'll ever make. Speak soon.
