Major Events

 * While waiting for extraction after blowing up drug factories in the Mekong District, Quenser and Heivia are called upon to assist a beached Information Alliance ship, in accordance with international treaties.
 * The two are tasked by Wraith Martini Vermouthspray to help get a group of tanks which were being carried on the ship out of the area to avoid a troublesome battle. They assist driver Dorothea Martini Naked in getting the tanks past the patrolling Object Hariti.
 * During a skirmish with local forces, Quenser learns that the tanks were part of a plan to implement a civilian assassination traffic infrastructure using self-driving cars. After the attacking helicopters are destroyed, the tanks turn to eliminate the two witnesses, but one of Quenser's earlier actions had brought the Hariti to a position where the Baby Magnum would be sent to intercept it and the Object intercepts the information, leaving Dorothea unable to cover things up just by killing them.
