"This is our target," Julia said, clicking her remote and activating the wall screen picture with a woman's face appearing, "Irina Romanov. Running a secure Biotech lab underneath her penthouse in T'Bilisi, Romanov has direct contact with the Biotech headquarters, which we know little to nothing about." Julia briefed as Dylan and Ada sat at the table. "What's our mission then?" Dylan asked idly. "Capture Romanov and extract her to the U.S for later interrogation. However, the main objective is to wipe out the Biotech records of our agent's identities and if possible trace any whereabouts to a nerve center, we need to begin striking Biotech's command structure instead of meaningless facilities." Marcus interrupted, pacing the room in an uncomfortable fashion. "I think we should contact Division 14, they're located in Saudi Arabia and closest to Georgia. We could use their assistance in this." Ada inquired. "Division 14 is working on a skeleton crew alone, they're having enough trouble as it is keeping their location a secret. Biotech's been scavenging the country following the blood trail of our agents and other clients. I'm afraid you're both alone on this one." Julia replied. "I can't go, I mean.I haven't even been to the hospital yet." Ada insisted, clasping her hands together. "We'll contact your mother in law, tell her you're on a return trip from London. It'll buy you some time at least. Intel's already making up a story on why exactly you were in London.now get moving.." Julia finished.

"I count three on the south balcony, armed with standard AK's and two to three pineapples max." Ada whispered into her radio, lying atop an apartment complex several buildings away from the penthouse. "Copy that, I count the same for the east balcony, plus one civilian taking a breather. Looks like a secretary or assistant, but I can't I.D her from the list Intel provided. She could be from the underground lab." Dylan replied while sitting at an apartment window with long range binoculars in his hands. He sat beside his computer awaiting Ada's objective. "I'm going in, I've got the X-ray sensor in place, how's your view?" Ada asked. "Perfect, I can scan inside the penthouse approximately three floors down. Body counts inside are at four so far." Dylan said as Ada aimed a long- range rifle at the penthouse roof. Dylan watched through the placed camera Ada positioned on the roof as she pulled the trigger and sent a grappling hook flying out, slamming into the rooftop. "Hang tight." Dylan commented, watching as she slid from the apartment building to the penthouse rooftop. Quietly grabbing the edge of the rooftop, Ada dropped silently to the vacant balcony below. "Give me a sit-rep." Ada whispered, peering inside the window. "I count one body inside, their back is to you and it looks like they're watching television. You should be safe if you're quiet." Dylan informed. "Where's the bedroom?" Ada continued, opening the door ever so quietly and stepping inside. "Double doors down the hallway, no one's inside. The computer uplink terminal should be there." Dylan answered. Ada snuck slowly towards the hallway, never taking her eyes off the guard watching TV on the other side of the room. "Ada south balcony!" Dylan yelled, watching through the infrared camera as a guard began to walk to the door. Ada hurried to the corner and leaned against the wall just as the balcony door slid open. "You've got to see this one." He said in a Georgian accent to the guard watching TV. As the two ventured back outside, Ada snuck to a nearby window and saw what the group was fascinated with, a woman undressing by her window across the street. "Your idea?" Ada whispered into her radio. "Don't look at me." Dylan chuckled, sipping his coffee and staring at the same woman with his binoculars. "Stand by I'm picking the lock." Ada said crouching beside the bedroom doors. Placing a lockpick disguised as a piece of her watch, Ada unlocked the door and pulled out her silenced Beretta as she continued inside. "I see a computer but no uplink terminal to the lab's systems. Dylan, are you sure this is it?" Ada questioned while approaching the computer. "That should be it, Intel interrogated Makarov during our flight here, he said Romanov keeps an uplink terminal in her bedroom." Dylan replied. "Did they interrogate him like I did?" Ada protested sarcastically, typing on the computer and finding nothing of use. "Doubt it, the bastard probably gave false information. Ada, abort that area and continue to the labs, we'll have to access the systems from the inside of the computer core." Dylan ordered. "Hang on, maybe he wasn't lying." Ada said, approaching a very oddly placed painting and pushing against it. The large painting slid down as she pushed it in, revealing a huge computer terminal. "Dylan, I've found it. Prepare for uplink." Ada placed a hacking device on the terminal and activated the uplink device. "Alright I'm receiving the download." Dylan informed. "Where's Romanov?" Ada asked while walking back to the bedroom door, her gun still drawn. "According to her agenda, her motorcade should arrive at the penthouse in twelve minutes." Dylan read off the computer screen.
"I see her." Ada whispered at the bedroom window, watching as Romanov's car pulled up to the building. "Copy that, Ada I'm going radio silent to switch locations for your exfiltration, I'll meet you on the street level back alley. Over and out." Dylan finished, clicking off the radio. "Copy." Ada said, when suddenly out of nowhere the window behind her shattered as a man repelled inside from the roof. Rolling across the floor, the assailant immediately tripped Ada and sent her falling to the floor, her gun lost in the struggle. Flipping back up to her feet with her fists high, Ada recognized her attacker immediately. It was Mikhail Makarov.
