Jessica: So if you dont mind me asking, why are you here?
Raiden: You remember my dad right?
Jessica: Yeah.
Raiden: Well it goes like this: For several years we have been playing into our parents hands and bring the world slowly under their control. We didnt find out about this betrayal until we on a mission in South America. So long story short we left in a huge firefight and we went to Japan for a few months.
Jessica: What happened after that?
Raiden: Brittany gave birth and a few months after that Japan came under attack from our parents and during the chaos killed my friend Julian.
Jessica: Damn.
Raiden: So after that we hid in Cuba for 10 years and was waiting for the right time to strike back.
Jessica: Well you know we here are no longer under your parents rule.
Raiden: Its why we came here.
Jessica: Well you might want to speak with Admiral Nachevcho.
Raiden: Hes in charge of military forces?
Jessica: Yes hes head of all branches.
Raiden: Alright where can we find him?
Jessica: Hes always leaves for his house in Kiev every two weeks.
Raiden: Whens the last time he went?
Jessica: Well he leaves in 3 days.
Raiden: Alright and how does he usually travel?
Jessica: Private plane or convoy.
Raiden: Alright we got a starting point.
Jessica: Mind if i join this cause of yours?
Raiden: Right now i need you here to watch Selene but later on i will need you.
Jessica: Alright.
Raiden: So we'll leave Thursday.
Jessica: Ok his spots to leave are either in front of Red Square or the Presidential Palace.
Raiden: Gotcha.
