Briefing

Hello 47. We've got some business at the Paris Opera. There are two targets: The famous tenor, and Richard Delahunt, the American Ambassador to the Vatican.

Our client claims they're behind a prostitution ring trafficking in boys and girls from Eastern Europe. Tosca is still in rehearsal, so there's plenty of activity at the opera-house and you shouldn't be too conspicuous. Ambassador Delahunt watches most rehearsals from his box. He travels with an armed escort, but there shouldn't be any other security to speak of. You'll get some cover from the construction crew renovating the theater for the new season. We've also left you a pick-up at the cloak room. In the third act of Tosca, the tenor faces a firing squad.

That scene may provide a useful opportunity. It's a straightforward assignment, 47, but the Agency's been having some problems in Paris. Use extreme caution.

Objectives

• Kill Alvaro D'Alvade.
• Kill Richard Delahunt.
• Escape the opera.

Intel

1. The contents of the toolboxes will not be searched when you are frisked.
2. There is a lift shaft from the backstage area to the stage. It is closely observed and only actors are permitted.
3. Lead actors go to their private rooms to rehearse during breaks.
4. The large chandelier is attached with bolts to the floor of the attic.
5. Only actors are allowed on stage.
6. The light technicians have keycards to the light control room.
7. There is a light rack above the stage that might prove useful.
8. The prop gun used for the execution in the opera is an exact replica of a real-World War I pistol.
