Luxembourg 1973 Mission

== Background ==
In 1973, Marco Cattivelli was a judge for the European Court of Justice, who would go on to make dozens of influential decisions affecting all of the European Union over the following four years.
Aleksander Volkov was a mercenary serving time in Russia in 2020 but last seen holding Sarah Cunnington and Ethan Taylor hostage in Cornwall.
== Infraction ==
On 30th October 1973, Volkov broke into Cattivelli's house in Kirchberg, Luxembourg, and murdered the judge.
== Mission Outline ==
=== 29th October 1973 ===
The team arrived and made enquiries, and staked out both the European Court of Justice where Cattivelli worked, and his home in Kirchberg.
=== 30th October 1973 ===
==== Zuverlässig Autovermietung ====
Sarah and Joe Graham posed as Belgian police investigating Volkov, and asked around in a local car rental place where Volkov was thought to have hired a car. However, he had not got there yet; just as they were leaving, they saw him and he ran. Graham pursued and engaged him, but he stole a car, and so Graham and Sarah ended up in a high-speed car chase with him, across Luxembourg. This early encounter altered the infraction slightly, in terms of the time when Volkov would murder Cattivelli.
==== Cattivelli Residence ====
The team entered Cattivelli's house to search for Volkov. However, Volkov not only subdued Tom, but then also got the drop on Sarah, holding her to gunpoint. However, Hafiz then pulled a gun on Volkov, but - almost comically - Jack Harringer appeared unexpectedly, and pulled a gun on Hafiz. The situation reached breaking point when both Graham and Cattivelli joined in with the situation. Ultimately, Volkov tried to go through with the assassination, but he was killed by Jack. However, by this point Cattivelli had activated a silent alarm - the same alarm that had initially alerted authorites during the assassination infracion. Tom arrived, having recovered, and upon seeing Jack, he tried to kill him as retaliation for taking Robert Tunneson in Dubai, unaware that this was a younger version of Jack and that he had not done that yet. To stop him from causing Paradox, Sarah intervened and Jumped with Jack, saving his life.
== Repercussions ==
With Volkov dead, the infraction was nonetheless prevented.
A few weeks later, Miranda Davenport took DCI Rupa Kalsi on a Jump to the timeframe of this mission, where she witnessed Graham and Volkov's street fight, as well as Sarah pulling up in a car for Graham so they could pursue Volkov, thus proving to Kalsi that time-travel exists.
