St Petersburg 1917 Mission

==Background==
On the 16th April 1917, revolutionary Vladimir Lenin returned from his exile in Switzerland and delivered a speech outside Finlyandsky Station in St Petersburg that would begin a movement that would ultimately instill Communism into Soviet Russia for the next eighty years, and shape the country and its future immeasurably. 
In 2023, after learning that - unlike the QIA Hubs, which had been disabled - the OVM still had a functional Hub, Enora Gallou designed a multi-pronged plan to restore the QIA Hubs while destroying the unauthorised Russian one. Part of this plan required luring out OVM operative Konstantin Denisov, and so a plan was made to actually cause an infraction, which (it was hoped) he would come to, to stop. 
==Infraction==
Unusually for the QIA, this mission actually involved the team causing a quantum infraction rather than stopping one: the assasination of Lenin. 
As strategised by Anna Vogel, it was made clear that in order for the infraction to actually register, the assassination had to be a genuine attempt on Lenin's life, and not just a ploy. 
==Mission Outline==
Enora herself, along with Captain Hafiz, came to St Petersburg in 1917 (dropped off by Jack Harringer) and attempted to assassinate Lenin during his speech outside the station. 
In spite of the monumental (and incalculable) consequences of doing so, Hafiz aimed and took the shot, but she was - thankfully - stopped by Konstantin, who appeared at the last moment and disarmed both of the women. Although he did not kill them, he did take their weapons (including a prohiberazin pistol) before leaving. 
Hafiz and Enora were later picked up again by Jack. 
==Repercussions==
Thanks to Konstantin (rather than the team), the infraction was successfully prevented. However, the mission wasn't necessarily successful in terms of keeping Konstantin busy, since - as noted by Enora and Hafiz on the mission - his multiple Jumps indicated he was very likely a Natural.
