Requiem for a Spy

Intelligence Items: 2

Book in sunglasses training area

Briefing

Needless to say, the Morocco assignment was an unmitigated disaster. Report to the War Room for debriefing. And try to control your temper.

Objective

Report to the advanced field tactics area.

You are automatically escorted into the briefing room to discuss the mission - which the coordinator calls a complete disaster. When prompted, respond with “I'd like to remind you that Volkov was lying in wait. Someone betrayed us.” to receive an intelligence item. It appears UNITY believes Bruno was the traitor.

You are sent to the advanced field tactics area. Pick up the sunglasses and use them on the ledger to receive an intelligence item. Continue through the course and grab the cigarette lighter and the lipstick.

Objective

Slip pas the security camera without being spotted. Crouch and hug the leftmost wall to avoid detection by the security camera.

Objective

Avoid getting caught in the searchlight beam. Hug the leftmost wall to avoid standing inside the beam. Completing the tasks inside the advanced field tactics area concludes the briefing - and you are automatically sent to the next mission.

Trivia

This is the first time that Cate reports to the briefing room on her own without any other operatives present.
East Berlin was the capital of the so-called German Democratic Republic (or simply East Germany), an Eastern Bloc state that was founded in 1949 and dissolved in 1990 following the Reunification of Germany. It consisted of the German territories occupied by the Soviet Army at the end of World War II and practically functioned as a satellite state of the Soviet Union. The city of Berlin was divided into East and West and in order to curb the mass immigration of people into the West, the Berlin Wall was erected all around the western half of the city in 1961 so as to prevent the East Germans from getting in (and not the West Germans from getting out as is sometimes mistakenly believed). East and West Germany were divided by the Inner German Border which consisted of steel, concrete and very strict border controls.
Dr. Schenker's desire to defect into the West is a plausible scenario and not an uncommon occurrence throughout the Cold War, during which many attempts were made by East Germans to escape into the free West. Successful attempts were few in number and unsuccessful ones resulted in being shot on sight or long prison-sentences if falling under suspicion or being implicated in assisting others to escape.
Mr. Jones remarks that if this mission is a success, they will “have struck a mighty blow to the Soviets” thereby making a strong reference to the ongoing Cold War between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, during which the game is set. The Cold War is especially remembered for its use of espionage on both sides which has served as the backdrop for many acclaimed works in literature, television and film (some notable examples include: the James Bond franchise, 'Get Smart', 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.' and 'The Spy who came in from the Cold')
The cemetery which holds Bruno's grave, is seen for the first and last time until the mission: Such Is the Nature of Revenge.
The Spy-Glasses, cigarette lighter and red lipstick explosive are introduced and can now be equipped at the beginning of each mission.
