Gig: Spy in the Jungle

Spy in the Jungle is a gig in .
==Walkthrough==
After being given the gig, V will be directed to to meet the Brazilian Intelligence Agency agents Steven Santos and Ana Friedman at their room in the Paradise Hotel in the Longshore Stacks, where they provide further information on the gig. They reveal the biomonitor of their mentor and colleague Mark Bana has recently reactivated after he was presumed dead in Dogtown, and he is being hunted by Scavengers led by Boris Ribakov at Organitopia in Terra Cognita. The agents do not have official permission from the BIA to investigate and have hired V to find Bana under the radar.
Upon arriving at Organitopia, scavs will be found guarding the museum's locked-down entrance. After entering through a smashed gate, opening a shuttered window with a Body check of 3, and jacking into an access point to gain further entry, Bana will contact V and indicate that he is okay and hiding deeper inside the museum past a large indoor jungle exhibit. Scavs, including netrunning Spiders, will be found patrolling the area on the ground floor and overhead glass walkways, surrounded by several deactivated landmines and security turrets. If engaging in combat with the scavs, Bana will refuse to open the door into the next area before all enemies are defeated.
In the next area, Bana directs V to a room in the back where he is hiding, but before V can enter, Ribakov jumps down from the ceiling with a smoke grenade and must be defeated first. Ribakov is equipped with optical camo and is able to charge jump to higher positions and use a Sandevistan to move quickly. Ribakov will use a sniper rifle while on the overhead catwalks, occasionally dropping a smoke grenade at his feet to disappear and reappear elsewhere. After half of his health is depleted, he will disappear into a smoke grenade, heal slightly, and deploy several Militech Griffin drones and won't return until they have been destroyed. From this point on he will fight on the ground using a Smart SMG, smoke grenades combined with flashbangs, and holographic decoys. Once defeated, Ribakov's Smart SMG and the shard Contract Objective: Terminate Katya Karelina can be looted from his body.
Ana will contact V again and listen in after entering a hidden room where "Bana" is hiding, revealed to actually be a woman named Katya Karelina using a voice changer implant to impersonate Bana. She reveals that she interrogated the real Bana for SovOil before he died, but claims that she wasn't responsible for his death. Ana orders V to kill Katya before hanging up. V will then have the option to kill Katya outright, or make a deal with her to let her live in exchange for the location of a secret stash, starting Money For Nothing. She can still be killed after revealing the location of a secret stash. Regardless, V must now take Bana's biomonitor from Katya back to the Brazilian agents. On the way, Steven will text you to ask that you leave the biomonitor at a drop point instead, fearing that Ana will leak the circumstances of Bana's death, causing Brazil to lose out on a multibillion-eurodollar contract with SovOil and anger those involved in the deal. V can deposit the biomonitor at a marked drop point to end the gig immediately, or go back to the agents instead.
:Steven and Ana will be found packing up and preparing to leave while arguing over the fate of the biomonitor. Steven reveals that Brazil is actively holding talks with SovOil as they speak and that the agency knew that Bana was killed by SovOil, but has chosen to ignore it so as to not jeopardize the deal. Ana will state she fully intends to leak the data on the biomonitor to the media and the rest of the agency. V has the option to hand over the biomonitor or personally destroy it. The agent with whom V sided with give V their thanks, while the other will storm out and lean against a railing outside. Mr. Hands will contact V shortly afterwards to close the gig and send their payment.
:Steven will text V after a few days, saying he is back in Night City, and asks to meet in Downtown, starting The Show Must Go On.
:After a few days, Steven can be found at EBM Petrochem Stadium by the Autofixer terminal, having joined BARGHEST as an analyst in order to lay low in Dogtown and is resentful of V for putting him in this situation. When asked, he reveals that Ana returned to Night City and was extradited back to Brazil where she is now imprisoned for treason, and that aside from ending the SovOil deal, the scandal resulted in a mid-level director at the agency being fired and Bana receiving a posthumous medal.
==Journal Entry==
:Powerful fingers like to poke this little pie called Dogtown. But let's be honest witth ourselves... Without the spygames, without the power struggles between forces we scarcely understand, this place would become a bore like any other. Wouldn't you agree?
:Two Brazilian intelligence agents recently reached out to me. One of their people has gone missing in Dogtown. The person in question is one Mark Bana.
:Naturally, as with all intelligence operations, there is a catch. Several, perhaps. I've identified one already. The agents seem to be acting without the approval of Brazilian Intelligence Agency. Might I advise inquiring as to their true motives.
:Have fun.
