Here’s my submission for the Wild Hubris Featured Contracts (I thought it was called Hubris Pride, hehe).
The platform is Xbox, but if someone wants to recreate it, go ahead! (ignore the white bars, my editing software was glitching today)
Briefing:
Good evening, 47. Welcome back to Berlin. A special assignment has been assigned and you will be receiving the details shortly. Be on standby.
Here we go. 47, your main target is Edgar Martin, infamously known by his stage name, “The King.” Originally a literary professor at the University of Oslo, Martin has taken a dark turn during his midlife crisis. This tyrant has been responsible for a string of murders throughout Europe, eerily targeting college students and librarians of public libraries. Each of Martin’s murder is the same, the victim, frequently gagged or tied up, has a crown carved into their face with a letter opener, and then he leaves a book on the crime scene, analysts noting that the word “king” is cut out of any pages in the novels. Martin takes pride in his work, but he’s here to attend to a different matter.
Intel reports that Martin has been on the hunt for the original copy of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. However, the original seems to have been sold to one Rolf Hirschmuller. Martin has taken it upon himself to plant explosives on the exhaust pipes, releasing chemicals throughout the nightclub to suffocate all the patrons to death. We cannot let this happen.
Our client, Rolf Hirschmuller, wants his nightclub to be clean as possible and does not want to give up his copy of Pride and Prejudice, worried that he’ll be next on Martin’s kill list. Documentation shows that Martin has no intent to spare lives for this book, but also shows a higher frequency to a local pharmacy. He seems to have been noted to have suicidal thoughts, and methodically contemplates minutes before each kill. If you can perceive his death look like an accident, and take out the extra security detail tasked to ensure the bursting of the pipes, law enforcements, Hirschmuller, and libraries will have no fear once again.
Hirschmuller has requested the void of unnecessary casualties, so you must be thoughtful with each hit. Uphold your pride, 47, and I’ll leave you to prepare.
