"Don't just Stand there, you Moron!"

"Ok it has finally come the time when you can pay me back for all the money I squandered to feed your hungry mouths. You always babbled about the power of steel and flesh, so now you can show me if you are at least worth the investment. I’m stuck in the middle of a high class meeting that took a really bad turn of events: some psycho weirdo decided that this was the right place for their demonstrative terrorist assault against capitalism and they need hostages. Obviously I don’t have the slightest intention of becoming such a thing, so move your butt and come right here, but be careful this whole thing seems staged for the only pleasure of…"

Mission Briefing: I was attending a business meeting with some Japanese Zaibatsu in the Nakatomi towers: it was one of those boring high class parties with a lot of fake smiles and backstabbing handshakes. During the party, however, a group of terrorists broke in and declared that we were all being taken hostages for the sake of the Revolutionary Front of the True Eagles ideals. This, of course, isn’t something I like, but I have to cope with the fact since the terrorists are heavy armed and very well trained. You could think that a group of normal humans, no matter how well trained, could never stand a fight with a true Zooanthrope, even if he (or me, in this case) isn’t exactly what we would call a perfect combat ready member and this is partially true, however, many factors hinder such a simple solution. First of all, you cannot know this, but for the whole world, the super information dealer that answers the name of Maddalena is nothing more than a legend, a Kaiser Soze of the information network, and I wasn’t taking part to this meeting as the secret informer, but as an upper manager of my firm. My first rule to remain unseen is not to attract the gaze even of the smallest fly, so it would be careless of me to break the siege with my own strength for this would be an extraordinary feat that would draw too much attention. In short, my identity has to remain covered at all costs, I cannot openly use any of my powers to escape this situation. Secondly, there is something wrong in this story: I am always a step ahead even of our Tyron rivals, never could I be surprised by such a move, I would have sniffed the weapon movements and the fake passports to reach United States ten thousands of miles away and I would have never been here; however, all this came as a complete surprise to me, things which I liked even less than the situation I found myself into. I feel that there is something really fishy going on about this terrorist action and that this is probably not a demonstrative act at all. Anyway, your mission objective is clear and simple: I managed to secretly take control of the parking lot door command box, once you reach the Nakatomi towers, I will open it a bit and you’ll be able to enter the palace. Watch out because all entrances will be under tight surveillance and if you are to ease your quest you have to remain in stealth mode as long as possible. After breaking in, you have to contact me and give me support. You could very well close your mission at this point by extracting me from the crisis area. However, it would be nice to understand what exactly is going on and pay them back for this little surprise.
