Briefing
Alta, Mongolia 1992
'Lian's First Time'
Yet my fourth year, and there seems no zenith to my ascent in the ranks. I had assumed CSS was a man's world, but I was wrong. To them, I am just a numbered file filled with perfect scores and ratings. They value only results and loyalty. Two things I deliver with ease.
The puppet Governor of Altay has become intoxicated by, and abusive of the power he's wields. In this remote province, it is easy to lose touch with Beijing, and it appears he has been given too much rope. My protege, Lian Xing, and I have been sent to hang him with that rope.
As this is Lian's final lesson, I will observe as she performs her first assassination.

Plot synopsis
When the mission starts, Lian radios Trinidad, telling her she is close to the insertion point. She is told to lower her voice since the guards are close, and does so. Lian is told that although she was top of her class, there is nothing to test agents like their first mission. Lian tells Trinidad she is near the power line and the guards can see her. Trinidad responds, telling her she has line of sight to the south patrols.
Hidden Evidence
1 and 2: You will obtain it by killing all the enemies.
3: After Lian kills her target and you take out the two bodyguards outside his room, the hotel manager will come out of the main door. Take him out for the third piece of evidence.
Trivia
- The mission briefing has a typo in the description: "and abusive of the power he's wields." A correction would be "and abusive of the power he wields."
