There is a conference for the Executioners in the East where Petrov explains that they will be making a truce with Stary Phaeton in order to secure a pathway to retrieve half of the Project Imagine genome code, as Bratva needs to transport it from Turkey through the North Caucasus (Stary Phaeton's territory).

In response to Stary Phaeton's threat, Petrov orders the air raid on Stary Phaeton's base in the North Caucasus, killing their head boss and effectively ending the organization. Stary Phaeton makes an agreement with Kira to get the genome map from Bratva. However, when things turn sour, Kira betrays them and protects Petrov instead.
