Briefing

Greetings, Special Agent.

This is a mission vital to national and international security. Recent intelligence has uncovered that North Korea has launched a new type of reconnaissance satellite, capable of advanced surveillance and potentially equipped with offensive capabilities. Your mission is to decipher the intercepted communications from this satellite to prevent a possible threat.

Intelligence reports indicate that the satellite is set to scan and potentially target three specific buildings across the globe. These locations are believed to hold significant strategic value, and their security is paramount. Your first task will be to collaborate with our cyber operations team to decipher North Koreas encrypted transmissions. Furthermore, you will coordinate with the Tiberian Order to ensure the protection of the buildings once identified. Each location will require a tailored approach, considering both the physical and cyber defenses in place.

Your expertise in strategic infiltration and countermeasures will be crucial in thwarting any offensive actions taken by North Korea. This mission demands a combination of stealth, precision, and rapid decision-making under pressure. Success will not only neutralize a potential threat but also provide us with valuable intelligence on North Korean satellite capabilities.

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