'''Alignment Mission'''
A few weeks back you sent away for some X-Ray glasses advertised in the back of a publication. A distracted package delivery driver brought them by today, but before you could let him know that your glasses shouldn't be in a several-yards long birthday present box, he had already driven off, sweat dripping from his brow and dread in his eyes. Curious, you read the card attached to the present:
''Amore mio...''
''Once again I can not be with you on your birthday, and it tears my heart to shreds. And once again, I send you a portrait of one whose beauty is far beneath yours. Place it within your gallery next to all the others. Stand within the visage of their baleful, horse faces and know that they would be but trollish handmaidens, servile to your magnificence. When the parole board sees me again, then we will finally be together again. - D''
You open the large package and look at the painting....... and can not believe how lucky you are!

A Disproportionate Package

Alignment Mission

A few weeks back you sent away for some X-Ray glasses advertised in the back of a publication. A distracted package delivery driver brought them by today, but before you could let him know that your glasses shouldn't be in a several-yards long birthday present box, he had already driven off, sweat dripping from his brow and dread in his eyes. Curious, you read the card attached to the present:

Amore mio...

Once again I can not be with you on your birthday, and it tears my heart to shreds. And once again, I send you a portrait of one whose beauty is far beneath yours. Place it within your gallery next to all the others. Stand within the visage of their baleful, horse faces and know that they would be but trollish handmaidens, servile to your magnificence. When the parole board sees me again, then we will finally be together again. - D

You open the large package and look at the painting....... and can not believe how lucky you are!

This painting is PRICELESS!

HERO: Read the rest of the 'suggestion'.

Briefing

You just watched a news report detailing the theft of this painting from the highly secured administrative offices of a well known, high class auction house. The way it was stolen was an amazing story unto itself, but that it was stolen before tomorrow's auction for charity was even more audacious. This proceeds of this painting was to be used to rescue kittens from the animal shelter and given to the children at Saint Maria's Home for Orphans with Life-Threatening Illnesses.

Okay... now that you think about it...

If you sell this painting on the black market, it's entirely possible you'll also be purchasing a one-way ticket to a very, very hot place. Sure, you may have a lot of those tickets already, but we're talking Business Class here.

  • Give the painting back... FAST!

It's not going to be that easy. You don't know where the driver is, and after delivering the package to you, it's possible you don't even know *IF* the driver *IS*.

So... There's only one way to go about this. You're going to need to break into the auction house...

...and RETURN the painting!

Unnecessary Solicitation

If you want that painting to have its chance to help nuns get the dying orphaned kids those little kittens to make their lives better and -

'*sniff sniff*'

- Look... just get to that auction house, okay!?

Mission Objective(s)

Lets hope this is the right office or all your work will be wasted. Find the guard captain and 'convince' him to let you return the work without being identified.

  • Return the stolen painting to the auction house!
    • Convince the captain to ignore you by any means necessary
    • Talk to the Security Captain
    • Return the priceless painting!
    • Turn on the Intercom for the Captain
    • Erase the camera tapes
