## San Uriel Condominiums

### Time

1030

**23 Megabytes A Second** is the second mission in *Ready or Not*. The Los Sueños Police Department received a 911 call regarding a hostage situation at an apartment complex.

## Mission Brief

**Team Lead**: *Alright everyone, need your attention. Operators just received a 911 call from and individual within an apartment complex in San Uriel early this morning detailing a brewing hostage situation. It seems that Micheal Williams has barricaded himself in his apartment along with his brother, Demarcus. He also has shot and killed his mother, Cassandra Williams. The call was brief but gave us information regarding his potential mental state.*

**Officer**: *Has anyone tried to regain contact with Michael?*

**Team Lead**: *The call bounced when attempted and calls from negotiators outside have fallen on deaf ears. It sounds like Michael may be firing a weapon inside his room, and we've received multiple reports of gunfire from other individuals within the complex. The building has a single entry, through the main atrium. There's also a secondary entry point through a fire escape nearby, which should allow quick access to the other levels without exposure to your teams within the atrium. The Watch Commander is on scene and has patrol holding perimeter positions, TEMS is staging at the command post, and they are awaiting our arrival to make entry. Currently they're awaiting out arrival to make entry, as the situation has been deemed dangerous given no communication can be established.*

**Officer**: *Do we know of any other threats within the space?*

**Team Lead**: *Michael's apartment is number 14, and so far we've managed to confirm that rooms 16, 11 and 12 are all currently inhabited but closed off. Those residents have either been evacuated or are sheltering in place. However we were unable to make contact with apartments 13 and 15, both of which are under the ownership of Michael Williams at this time. It is unknown if he is still barricaded with his family in 14 or has moved into one of the other rooms to ambush. We are not aware of any other threats, it seems to just be one guy. Alright, let's roll.*

## Persons of Interest

**Suspects**

**Civilians**

## The Map

The condominium consists of three floors. You have two points of entries: The main entrance or a fire escape that goes up to the second floor and third floor.

### First floor

The first floor contains no enterable rooms and is simply a hall leading to a stairway that splits into two. Civilians and suspects can sometimes be present here.

### Second floor

   The second floor consists of one enterable room. You can enter this room through the hallway or from the fire escape stairwell. The room contains a large server farm with servers in every room. The room is guarded by a couple of armed suspects, one wearing a Watt College sweater. The farm also seems to be illegally tapping electricity as cables connect directly to a nearby electricity pole.

## Trivia

* Despite what the 911 call said, Cassandra Williams who lives next to Michael's apartment is seen alive. We can thus assume that the call was most likely a swatting.
* Some of the suspects reuse the models as the extra robbers on Thank You, Come Again.
* In the apartment where Michael Williams mother has a vent next to the bathroom which is connected to Michael’s room and open allowing for grenades to be thrown into the vent and enter the adjacent room
