UPDATE (by the way from now on I'll only update after a few posts after mine. Otherwise it's like I'm LPing to myself
)
Okay it strikes me that nothing make sense without some background information.
Department 7 is the KGB office in Leningrad. I belong to Department P which is in Moscow, the purpose of Department P is to investigate corruption in other departments, so everyone hates me and Department P as you'll see later. The whole reason I'm even doing this case is, of course, because Golistin, from way back in the first mission, was a former KGB officer so it's a case of potential corruption.
I'm carrying some cool gear. Camera, microphone, recorded, headphones, etc.
Also, I have files on all the officers at Department 7. Most of them seem clean. The people listed are Chapkin, Agabekov, and Kusnetsov. Agabekov is apparently clean but Chapkin and Kusnetsov are under suspicion.
Mission is to go to Ladoga Park and follow up on my case. Also, meet my regional controller at 7pm to report.
Okay back to the game.
So the coded message in the last post said, "flick your lights 3 times then call back".
So I do that and call back the number/
Right, so I have a secret admirer. Anyways, the guy tells me to check up on Agabekov, even though he's apparently "clean" by Department P standards.
I go to the lobby.
Kay so I go to Department 7.
I have to drop all my files before I enter the building, or else they kick me out when they find them (apparently they don't like finding files about how corrupt they might be).
They take me up to see Kusnetsov (he's one of the people under suspicion of corruption).
If you are anything less than respectful to this guy, you get kicked out. I ask him if I can speak with his officers.
Nice chap. So now I go and see Agabekov. This guy has a perfect record, but the guy on phone said to check him out.
So I ask him about his fellow officers. Any suspicions?
I tell him he has a good record.
I start looking around his office. The pointer tells me there's something in his trash can I pick up. But I can't go looking through his garbage while he's there.
It took me a while to figure out to do here. Basically you go into the next room.
Then you call him up.
You tell him that you have secret information about a visitor from Moscow, aka ME and that you'll meet him in front of the building. He jumps at this chance and leaves his office.
...it was just a cigar.
Anyways there isn't anything else to do here so I leave and go to Ladoga Park to intercept the meeting foreshadowed in the previous chapter.
This part you have to play through at least once to know what to do. Basically the guy comes and sits down on the bench. So you have to first plant the microphone on the bench, press record, and then hide.
...and then...
Yeah that's Romeo from Moscow.
You can follow either one . If you follow Romeo, he just goes back to Moscow, so instead follow blond dude.
Some guy comes up. You recognize him from your files - it's Chapkin from Department 7. So this proves there's some corruption going on here.
I'm guessing "K" is Kusnetsov.
Again, follow either one. Chapkin just goes back to Department 7, so instead follow blond dude.
So, pull out the camera and zoom in.
But you can't exactly go in while he's in there, so you have to wait for him to:
Kay now go inside.
pr0n lol
Again this is a part where you really have to play through a few times before you know what to do. Basically, there are three sections of the warehouse. The front, middle, and the office. People always are in the office. And the blond dude stays in the front. So you can only hide in the middle, but you can't go outside through the front door. So what you have to do is unlock the skylight,
then unlock the skylight in the next door bar.
Then, you have to open the window in the bar washroom so you can keep getting in without the barman being suspicious. And now, you have a way to get into the warehouse and out without anyone seeing.
Okay back to the middle room.
Into the office:
I plant the microphone on the table.
Back to the middle room and hide.
Okay, now nothing's happening at the moment so I pull out my previous tape and listen to the conversation that I recorded back at Ladoga Park.
They exchange items and say goodbye. Also warns him about a snooper (me). That's the end of the tape.
Okay, somebody's coming back into the warehouse.
They go into the office. I record the conversation.
Blond dude comes out, but fat guy stays in the office. Someone else comes:
Goes into the office and has a conversation. I record it again.
Then he comes outside:
That's the game giving you a hint.
Now if you follow the new guy, you'll miss anything new that happens here. So what you do is press record, then hide the device somewhere so it keeps recording while you're gone. Then you go out the skylight onto the street and follow the new guy.
TO BE CONTINUED...
