Mission:Hit List - Part One: Serial Killings

Part One: Serial Killings

Briefing

Character. Over the last few days Corporate CEOs have been winding up dead. Lots of them. Near as we can tell, these are assassinations, though we have no idea who will be next.

Thanks to the unique murder method; a mono-wire garrote, we know that the assassin is Sigg Bowman, a Syndicate hitman.

We've had the seers scanning for unusual activity, and we think we've got something. That's where you come in. I need you to check this out for me.

• Check out unusual activity

The seers detected heightened anxiety levels within the Karpo Corporation and our attempts to make contact with anyone inside the building have failed. This stinks of Bowman's M.O.

I'm sending you over there to find the CEO, Ms. Danielle Fields, and get her safely into PPD custody.

We need answers, not more dead bodies.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You need to get that thing taken care off we talked about earlier.

Mission Objective(s)

You couldn't prevent Sigg Bowman from assassinating his target, but you did bring him down for questioning.

Enemies

Notable NPCs

• Danielle Fields (NPC, Deceased)

Ms. Fields is unconscious on the ground, and not moving.

• Bowman (Syndicate Striker)

Sigg Bowman has made a name for himself among the underworld as a brutal and efficient hitman. Whoever hired him to kill Fields and the others has deep pockets.

Ambush! At the mission entrance you will be ambushed by a group of Syndicate thugs

Syndicate Ambush Dialogue

Before Combat:

Blade Initiate: Whoever this is, they're about to die.

Pistol Initiate: You think they're making a play like they did against Johnsen?

Combat Start:

Pistol Initiate: Powers Division?!

Blade Initiate: Waste him / her!

	It's Hot
	A welcome wagon of Syndicate go-gangers tells you that this place is hot. Time to find Ms. Fields and get her out of here alive.

Syndicate Patrol Dialogue

Before Combat:

Blade Initiate: Did you hear something?

Pistol Initiate: Man, you are starting to piss me off.

Pistol Initiate: Every five minutes, 'did you hear something?'

Blade Initiate: Then why are we here, huh?

Pistol Initiate: Nothing is gonna happen.

Syndicate Dialogue

Before Combat:

Blade Initiate: Where's Fields?

Brawler Initiate: I don't know, she isn't in her office.

Combat Start:

Blade Initiate: Look out!

---

Before Combat:

Blade Initiate: Someone already got to Fields.

Brawler Initiate: We should sweep the building, maybe they're still here.

Combat Start:

Blade Initiate: I think we found 'em!

---

Before Combat:

Brawler Initiate: Fields is dead, we should go.

Sword Initiate: Come out, coward!

Combat Start:

Sword Initiate: There you are!

Danielle Fields

Briefing

You find Danielle Fields unconscious on the ground.

• Check her vital signs (A)

You roll Ms. Fields over to check her vitals and see that her throat has been cut by a mono-wire garrote.

• Close her eyes and search for the killer.

• Ask her if she is ok

There is no answer.

• Check her vital signs

This selection loops to another branch of this conversation which is already documented. (A)

Unnecessary Solicitation

Ms. Fields is dead.

• Leave

	Fields is Dead
	Unfortunately it looks like Fields was already murdered before you even arrived. Sigg Bowman, the Syndicate hitman, might still be in the building, given that the Syndicate are still hanging around apparently defending the place.

Sigg Bowman

Sigg Bowman is a name well known in the Syndicate underworld. As a high priced hitman, Sigg has always delivered good on his contracts. His calling card is assassination by a mono-wire garrote, an outlawed piece of hardware that uses a mono-filament wire to cut through flesh, bone, and even body armor. It appears that someone in the Syndicate hired Sigg to execute Ms. Danielle Fields, CEO of The Karpo Corporation, and the other murder victims. Whatever their motives were most likely died with Ms. Fields, but Washington might be able to get some answers out of this scumbag.

	Smart Phone
	You picked up Sigg's smart phone. From the look of it there are no recent calls in memory. He either erased it, or had it on him for some other purpose.

Debriefing

I'll begin questioning Mr. Bowman shortly. Until then I notice that you have his smart phone, may I see it a moment?

No calls, no numbers, interesting... Ah ha... very clever.

Mr. Bowman has an application that lists establishments he has checked into recently... a popular pastime amongst citizens. Do you notice anything about the list?

Look at the numbers next to each location. Most of them are restaurants with several visits each, but a handful are the addresses for a number of office buildings around the city. Only one of them has one visit, while the ones with two... those are the ones who have recently had their CEOs assassinated.

I believe we've found Sigg Bowman's hit list.

I think we're working out well together, Character. Let's make sure things stay that way.
