telepathic instructions from a mysterious member of the communist rebel group
PT88. The mysterious voice informs the player that their actions have not gone

church for a debrief on an operation to secure a permanent foothold in
the Vasilevsky Island district.

communist movements.

Background: Petrograd 88 (PT88) - a militaristic

Andrews church. This innovation has come at a needed time as they have been
