The Original

The Accused is the seventh mission of the second season. In it you must eliminate Pedro Maynard, Maxim Lukin and Astrey Vladimirovich and retrieve the content of Maynard's safe in Inta, Russia.

## Briefing

According to the intel you found in Rowland’s data center I have been able to track down a name, Pedro Maynard, in the small Russian town of Inta where GHOST’s presence is looming. Not much is known about Maynard but according to Rowland’s notes he was the one with the original idea behind GHOST, so he will need to be eliminated, however, Maynard is not alone in Inta, as he receives financial help and personal security from a terrorist organization lead by Maxim Lukin, a highly-decorated and ranked KGB officer, who, in the shadows runs an Islamic terrorist organization named Российская Организация Исламского Джихада (Russian Organization for the Islamic Jihad), with his right-hand man Astrey Vladimirovich, who is another highly-decorated member of the Russian government. However, Lukin has a safe containing the names of most of their agents in case something went wrong, and each of the three men has one of the keycards to open the safe as another safety precaution, meaning you will have to eliminate all three of them and steal their keycard to open the safe as well. Maynard will most likely be in the hidden military bunker outside the town along with Lukin and Vladimirovich, and will be very careful of his surroundings, meaning he will most likely never leave the bunker unless it is absolutely necessary for him, with Lukin’s mercenaries guarding the entire bunker and its entrance so eliminating him will not be easy.

## Characters and Key Figures

* Stas Konstantinovich, Lukin's personal bodyguard, will be following his superior's movements, and will follow him everywhere.

* Vincent Babatyev, a Kyrgyz-American sleeper agent, can be found waiting with two of Lukin's guards in the rest area of the bunker, although after a while Maynard will go meet him and the two will move up to his office.

## Mission Stories

For the Cause
Interesting, according to Russian records Maxim Lukin is an ethnic Chechen, and although he himself was born in Bratsk, he is a firm believer of the Chechen independence cause, which has lead to divisions between him and the men he commands, most of them, including Vladimirovich being pure-blooded Russians. I suggest you use these divisions to your advantage.

The Suicide of Gods
According to this note by his personal doctor, Dr. Turgenev, Pedro Maynard has been on antidepressants for a year now since his daughter, Yelena, died of an unknown cause, an assassination likely. According to the bottom report Maynard had a violent stroke and almost died of cardiac arrest recently after seeing a slideshow of his dead daughter's best moments, something he should still have lying around, I suggest you use this to your advantage.

Velikoye Predatel'stvo
According to these soldiers working under Astrey Vladimirovich, he, along with a cabal of infiltrated soldiers working, has plans to assassinate Lukin and Maynard, in a sort of group takeover, only Vladimirovich has tried unsuccessfully to get the two to meet together in the base's old service tunnel, where he and his soldiers could easily assassinate them several times. I suggest you help Vladimirovich reach his goal.

A Business Reunion
According to these guards today Maynard has a reunion planned in the afternoon with Vincent Babatyev, a high-ranking member of the KGB, this is where things get interesting as Babatyev on the surface looks and acts like a typical drunk Russian police type, but in reality he is a Kyrgyz-American sleeper agent, spying on the Russian government's whereabouts for several American agencies, and although you cannot kill him, as doing so would send the American government after us, you could knock him out and pretend to be him, as Maynard never met him in person.
