By the way I did a quick sweep of Diana’s intel lines by curiosity and idk how interesting they are but here anyway: (only including the ones with proper text)
DianaSpeakNPCLocate:
Sato
One of the brightest design talents of his generation, Sato surprised the entire fashion world last year by signing with Sanguine; a brand he had long considered stale and bourgeois. And some critics, like showstopper Magazine’s Valerie St. Clair, have speculated that Sato’s curious career move was far from voluntary.
Rumors perhaps, but it would certainly explain his vile mood and sudden case of stage fright.
Valerie St. Clair
Valerie St. Clair, legendary editor in chief of Showstopper Magazine, is Novikov’s most vocal critic. She famously ripped him to shreds in her editorial, calling his takeover of Sanguine “a poisonous dagger in the back of good taste”. And since then, St. Clair has shunned every Sanguine show. So why would she turn up tonight?
I suggest you find out what St. Clair and her assistant are up to. Could be useful.
Target: Dalia Margolis
The right face at the right time, Dalia Margolis became one of the most iconic fashion models of the previous decade. Then, at the peak of her career, she wisely chose to retire and launch her own model agency. But the UN-official story is even more glamorous.
Dalia Margolis is not only beautiful. She is charming, sophisticated and extremely intelligent. Novikov might be the moneyman, but Dalia is the brains behind Iago.
Target: Viktor Novikov
A self-made billionaire, Viktor Novikov prospered in the post-USSR boom of capitalism, making his early fortunes in real estate. When he took a nasty financial beating during the recession, Novikov turned to more creative sources of income. Corporate espionage. Extortion. Insurance fraud. Kidnapping and arson. Anything to maintain his ostentatious way of life. Then five years ago, in a surprising turn of events, Novikov pulled the plug on all his illegal operations. He purchased Sanguine, one of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious couture brands, relocated to Paris and went completely legit. At least–so it would seem. We now believe that his “Mr. Fashion” persona was always just a front for a much more lucrative scheme, devised by Novikov’s girlfriend, legendary Israeli supermodel Dalia Margolis.
DianaSpeaksForDisguises:
Plenty of disguises
Plenty on people on staff. Should not be a problem to find fitting disguise
VIP Pass Required
The VIP area on the second floor is off-limits to all but a few invited guests. The area is heavily guarded by Novikov’s private security detail. It seems some sort of auction is taking place here, with Dahlia Margolis supervising the events.
You will need to show a VIP pass to access the area.
[temp] Disguise not allowed on 2nd
[temp] Not all disguises are allowed on second floor
[temp] 2nd floor disguise rules
Only security and IAGO staff is allowed on 2nd floor
Third floor Storage Area
The entire top floor of the museum is heavily patrolled by the black-suited IAGO professional security team. Most of the area is used for storage and provides many potential hiding places. There’s also a small security station here.
Wandering guests will be escorted downstairs.
[temp] Frisking at 1st floor
Technitians are frisked when entering 1st floor
Staff Stair
There is a staff-only stair on the western side of the palace. It’s accessible from the kitchen area in the basement as well as the backstage makeup area on the ground floor.
Stairs connects the basement, ground floor and first floor and looks unguarded.
DianaSpeaksGameHints:
Getting rid of Sato
It appears that Novikov plans to join head designer Sebastian Sato on stage. This could be a golden opportunity. On stage Novikov will be vulnerable to attack. But Sato will be right beside him. To avoid any collateral damage, You should find a way to keep Sato out of harm’s way. Now the head designer is clearly under a lot of stress.
It shouldn’t prove too hard to push him over the edge.
St. Clair’s assistant
Liza, Valerie St. Clair’s young assistant, is hiding in the museum gift shop. And she appears to be carrying a VIP card to the IAGO event at the 2nd floor.
Might be a good source for an easy access.
Alias Tobias Reaper
I managed to hack Iago’s security servers and provide you with a suitable cover identity. You are Tobias Reaper. Corporate shark specializing in hostile takeovers. Margolis will likely assume that Mr. Reaper is a guest of Novikov’s.
So as long as you stay in character, the story should hold.
DianaSpeaksLocation:
Docked Barge
There’s a floating barge with a high tower docked near the statue garden northwest of the palace. If climbed, it could prove to be a compelling vantage point 100 feet above ground. Although it provides an excellent view of the northern and western areas of the museum compound, it has substantial drawbacks on cover and escape routes. A single entry and exit point is accessible through the garden area.
The tower would be a good spot for a skilled sniper.
Outside Backstage Area
This is the outside backstage area of the Sanguine show. Delivery crews unload trucks with various forms of equipment here. A lot of boxes and crates are carried into the palace by IAGO workers. The backstage area is off-limits for guests and there are substantial amounts of security guards on patrol here.
Wandering guests will be escorted to the exit.
Office scaffolding
There’s a rather large scaffold on the balcony outside the museum office. It runs from the first floor to the attic above. There are climbable stairs here.
The scaffold should provide easy access to the second floor attic area.
Palace Basement
The basement has multiple entry points. It features the castle’s collection of rare wines, an industrial level kitchen as well as wardrobe and dinning areas for the employees of the museum. The basement also houses a security station from where the museum’s security personnel monitor camera feed and keep an eye on the many valuables housed within the museum walls.
Guests are not allowed in the basement. Servants and security personnel do have access.
AV Equipment Drop Point
AV technicians are moving various equipment boxes from the outside backstage area south of the palace. It appears they are carrying the boxes to the first floor area overlooking the atrium stage.
The boxes are full of all kinds of equipment. It should be easy to hide an item in them.
Museum Gift Shop
The museum gift shop is usually packed with eager visitors, joyfully spending their hard-earned Euros on reproductions. Tonight, however, the museum is closed. Guests are not allowed entrance, regardless of how much money they want to spend on books and prints. This gift shop has four exits.
Wanderings guests will be escorted from the gift shop area.
The Will DuToit Pagoda
The Will DuToit Pagoda area was built as an add-on to the Palace grounds in the late 1950’s. It’s normally closed off to the public outside the museum’s opening hours. Tonight, there’s an extraordinary amount of security personnel present. Guests are not allowed here.
The number of guards patrolling this area seems excessive.

Civilians are searched. Crates are not.

Palais de Walewska
Napoleon Bonaparte named Palais de Walewska after his mistress, a Polish born countess in 1810. The property is currently owned by Baron Sergei Larin; another expatriate Russian and a close friend of Viktor Novikov. Larin is an avid art collector and his private selection of Napoleon artifacts, on public display in the ground floor museum wing, is widely considered the finest in Europe.
Normally Larin and his wife Estelle occupy the North wing of the 1st floor but they are currently out of town.
DianaSpeaksObjectsAndEvents:
Boat Keys Located
There’s a speedboat docked at the garden pier. It would provide a fast exit if it were to be used.
Keys for the boat have been located.
[temp] Prop gun canon
Prop gun cannon- accident waiting to happen
[temp] Fireworks
Novikov bought … not bad distraction
Speedboat on western river bank
A racing speedboat belonging to the museum owner is docked in the river to the far west of the palace. The area is somewhat unpopulated, though security guards do patrol here. The area is off-limits for guests.
The speedboat could be a quick exit vehicle, provided you have the keys for it.
[temp]Cameras
Cameras attached to … basement
VIP Pass Found
The VIP area on the second floor is off-limits to all but a few invited guests. A pass is needed to access the area without trespassing and raising an alert. The area is heavily guarded by Novikov’s private security detail.
This card will grant you access to the VIP area.
Drain Pipes
The palace drain pipe system is an excellent tool for getting into areas that people may otherwise try to limit access to. Pipes can be mounted and climbed quite easily and they provide quick ways of getting from top to bottom.
Drain pipes offer a good way to get around security guards.
Confiscated Items
Security personnel will transport any dangerous or lost items to key areas around the palace
Should you lose anything, it’s likely to end up here.
[temp] Saber
bla bla … saber … bla bla
Fireworks
A large and very expensive fireworks setup is located in the garden area northwest of the palace. The plan is to set off the fireworks some time after the show is finished.
Setting off the fireworks prematurely would likely cause a lot of confusion within the compound.
Sanguine Show Light Rig
The centerpiece of the Sanguine fashion show is a masterpiece of a lighting rig. Designed by reclusive Icelandic glass artist Bj?nir Thorvaldsson, the lighting rig is as much a sculpture as it is a functional piece of technology. Thorvaldsson cites the harsh winter of the North Sea and the jinggling sounds of icicles in his childhood garden as main inspirations for the piece.
Hopefully, the technicians secured the rig well. It looks like an accident waiting to happen.
Intel Entities NOT yet implemented:
Novikov and Sato
Not everything seems to be going according to plan backstage. Rumors are that Sato and Novikov don’t exactly see eye to eye.
It might be useful to find out more.
Getting rid of Sato
On stage Novikov will be vulnerable to attack. But Sato will be right beside him. To avoid any collateral damage, you should find a way to keep Sato out of harm’s way. Now the head designer is clearly under a lot of stress.
It shouldn’t prove too hard to push him over the edge.
Light rig accident
On stage, Novikov will be liable to all sorts of attack. However if you plan to stage an accident, that light rig suspended above looks like an accident waiting to happen.
Valerie St. Clair
Intel suggests that Valerie St. Clair, editor in chief of Showstopper Magazine, is here, AT the show. This is certainly unexpected. St. Clair is Novikov’s most vocal critic. She famously ripped him to shreds in her editorial, calling his takeover of Sanguine “a poisonous dagger in the back of good taste”. And since then, St. Clair has shunned every Sanguine show.
I suggest you find out what St. Clair is up to. Could be useful.
Blackmail Attempt
St. Clair is out to blackmail Novikov. She knows about IAGO and she is sending her poor assistant into the lion’s den.
Getting that VIP card might be considered a good deed.
Max Decker
Our intel suggests that a certain Max Decker, a senior employee of the Russian FSB, has just arrived at the car park with his entourage. Small world. Decker’s boss, section chief Nicholai Kamarov, was mounting a criminal case against Novikov, but he committed suicide only last night. Or perhaps not.
Either way, if Decker’s meeting Novikov, this could be an opportunity.
Max Decker and Novikov meeting (1)
Max Decker and Novikov are meeting at the North West garden pagoda–far away from prying eyes. And Decker has brought his new business partner a present.
Maybe Decker’s bodyguard could use a hand with that trunk?
Max Decker and Novikov meeting (2)
Novikov is leaving the palace. CCTV suggest that he is heading towards the North West gardens–carrying a briefcase. No doubt to meet this Decker.
This could be a chance to catch Novikov away from the spotlight.
Sheik Al-Ghazali at helipad
The Al-Ghazali’s are among the richest families in Saudi Arabia. But according to our sources at Langley, the sheik is a suspected terrorist supporter. It might be worth shadowing him.
If Al-Ghazali is a customer of IAGO, he should have access to the 2nd floor lounge.
Sheik Al-Ghazali at the palace
Our sources indicate that the infamous Saudi sheik Salman Al-Ghazali has just arrived at the palace by helicopter. Interesting. The Al-Ghazali’s are among the richest families in Saudi Arabia. But according to our sources at Langley, the sheik is a suspected terrorist supporter.
If Al-Ghazali is a customer of IAGO, he should have access to the 2nd floor lounge.
Cicada Global Security
Cicada Global Security rose out of the Iraqi war. These are seasoned PMC’s. Rather extreme for this type of event. They must be employed by IAGO. Whatever Margolis is doing on the 2nd floor, it’s got little to do with “next year’s colors”.
These are very dangerous opponents.
The Iago Auction (1)
This is even bolder than I imagined. Margolis and her clients meet face to face, exchanging information by mouth and physical paper files, leaving no digital trace. Very clever. And judging from THIS crowd, our client was right to be concerned. I can make out Tren Po; sociopath and soon to be dictator. Terry Rutherford; CEO of Schaeffer-Moore, the UK defense contractor. Nelle Brent, cut-throat campaign manager to Jaqueline Barclay, the US president elect. Andrea Martinez, most powerful woman in the reformed Delgado drug cartel. And Charles Mzabuni; strategic head of Crimson Dawn, the pan- African liberation army.
If it’s true that we can know people by the company they keep, Novikov and Margolis surely have it coming.

Sheik Al-Ghazali, heir to one of the world’s largest oil empires. And Charles Mzabuni; strategic head of Crimson Dawn, the pan- African liberation army.
If it’s true that we can know people by the company they keep, Novikov and Margolis surely have it coming.
Guess we could compare them to the Intel in the current game to see what changed 
(Also despite intel calling him “Max” Decker, his NPC is called “Erich” Decker, so maybe an early name)
I like that the intel were very descriptive, interesting how they gave a name to the place where Novikov and Decker meet, or giving a background to the light rig itself, very cool to see they named a lot of people at the IAGO auction and some names like “Crimson Dawn” (Crystal Dawn) being different,
there was also a speculated old name for Kronstadt in dialogues but I don’t remember what it was,
again it shows how much IO planned from the beginning and it’s incredible how everything links together now that we have the full story
