**The Vector** is the third mission of the Patient Zero bonus campaign, featured in *HITMAN™* - Game of the Year Edition.

**Objectives:**

* Eliminate Bradley Paine.
* Eliminate the remaining infected patients.
* Locate Exit.

## Description

47 and Diana have discovered that the biological weapon they retrieved in Sapienza is a highly lethal virus, making their mission more urgent as they race to stop Liberation from spreading it to the public.

Their next target is Bradley Paine, a doctor and disciple of the cult. Paine has been sighted inside a paramilitary compound located in an old farm, where he has already infected several members of the local militia with the Nabazov Virus to test its efficiency.

To prevent the risk of infection, 47 sets up in a sniper nest on the outskirts of the farm. Using a sniper rifle, he must shoot down the infected militia members once Diana has identified them, before taking out Bradley Paine.

## Mission Briefing

### Intro Cutscene

*Agent 47's private jet speeds through a cloudy sky.*
**Agent 47 (VO):** "So, Colorado next?"

*Inside, 47 works a laptop from his passenger seat; Craig Black's novel can be seen.*

**Diana Burnwood (VO):** "That's correct, 47. ICA intel has just confirmed the exact coordinates of the US-bound signal from Nabazov's dead man's trigger."

*In the seat beside him is the Sieger 300 Ghost and some ammo.*
**Diana (CONT'D):** "It's...remote."

**Agent 47:** "Sounds perfect."

*47's laptop screen lights up with new intel and schematics.*

**Diana (VO):** "Quite. We've 'borrowed' an NSA satellite and so I'm looking at the location now. It appears to be some kind of paramilitary compound, but intel is limited. However, we do have a positive ID on another of Nabazov's disciples; a medical doctor, with a live sample of the Nabazov virus."

**Agent 47:** "Small place for a dispersal. Maybe just a test?"

**Diana (VO):** "Or an act of desperation. We cannot allow this to spread, 47. I'm uploading a full briefing to your laptop. Review as soon as you can."

*The jet banks a hard left.*― Intro Cutscene

### Briefing

**Diana Burnwood (VO):** "All right, 47. Your primary target is medical doctor and radical cultist Bradley Paine. Intel confirms that Paine has already infected a number of unsuspecting militia operatives with the Nabazov virus.

Initial examination of the virus show it to be incredibly infectious, and utterly lethal. Fortunately, there is no indication that the virus has spread beyond the compound. However, in order to prevent any contagion, Paine must be eliminated along with any infected mercenaries.
To remove the risk of exposure to the virus, we're recommending you go long range for this one. I will be providing intel upon touch down, identifying targets for you once you've set up your sniper nest.

Good luck, 47."

## Trivia

* It can be assumed that the use of the Shadow Client's apricot farm is non-canonical, and that The Vector takes place in an unrelated farm within Colorado.
* According to Jacob Mikkelsen and Eskil Møhl, game director and co-director of *HITMAN™*, this mission is a throwback to St. Petersburg Stakeout, a mission in *《杀手：沉默刺客》*.;
* Occasionally, if one of the targets is a demolitions expert, Diana will say that they are Scottish, and that that can only mean they are an explosives expert. This is a reference to the Demoman from Team Fortress 2, a Scottish demoman.
