Line of Control

Greetings, Special Agent K.

As you might be aware of, a war has broken out between India and Pakistan. While this isn’t the first time, it seems they mean business now. Both countries have expelled diplomats and even sent citizens home.

The Indian government has their hands full, with the Chinese firmly backing Pakistan and Russia tied in Ukraine. India is left fending for itself, with little outside help. They reached out to HACKTORIA to take on their most pressing intelligence work.

Your first assignment is of the utmost importance. Mei Huang has been monitoring Pakistani Telegram channels and managed to intercept what we believe to be attack plans. If we are correct, this attack could escalate this war into something unstoppable.

It’s your job to find the locations, date and time of the attack, and the commander responsible for executing the plans. Report your findings asap, in time for Indian armed forces to prepare.

As always, Special Agent K, the contract is yours, if you choose to accept.
