While we were looking for ways to get around the Mister Johnson from
Lone Star job series, we had another one to attend to. It was one that I'd been
looking forward to for some time, actually, simply because of the sort of stuff
we'd be dealing with. The premise of the run was simple and intended to be
stealthy; we had to break into a manufacturing facility and sabotage the
production of a new product. However, we had to do it in a subtle way so that
it wasn't immediately obvious. What the Macquarie wanted was for the product to
fail at launch in a very public and embarrassing way.
So that would be simple enough in and of itself, but there was a catch.
Although the catch was what made the job so interesting, so maybe it wasn't as
big a problem as it seemed. Anyway, the problem was that the target was a
Proteus AG Arkoblock in the middle of Bass Straight, so it wasn't the most
easily accessible place in the world. Fortunately, we'd rented a minisub which
covered half of the accessibility issues.
