Operation Kingfisher

We've received a mission from the highest levels of NATO command. This mission comes directly from ‎‎‎‎‎‎ ‎ ‎          himself. Through our allied spies in the     , we have recently learned that Erich Honecker, leader of the GDR, has been having extra-marital affairs[1]. Unfortunately, no tangible evidence of this has come forth. You are to retrieve such evidence, by any means necessary, though our patron has expressed a desire for the operation to be preferably covert, he would not wish their newfound acquisition to be public knowledge as of yet. You will find attached a clearance directive of level Delta-Green TL3, authorisation to employ psychic powers[A], and a docket of relevant intel from our client. Happy hunting. 


Intel:
  • A 20-meter section of the Berlin wall will be unguarded between 21:00-22:00 and 01:00-02:00.
    • You can enter and exit east Berlin there, provided you have not alerted anyone.
    • You will be provided the keys to a four-seat Lada stationed near the wall.
  • Erich Honecker is known to frequent Der Eisvogel, a state-run gay disco club. [2]
    • If there appears to be even a hint of danger, Honecker will quickly be escorted out of the building by his guards.
    • The club's bartender is an insider, her name is Kristina P.
  • Within 10 minutes' driving distance of the club are additional interesting locations:
    • A restaurant, from which Honecker will likely be arriving.
    • The police station.
      • Your east-german counterparts, the Stasi agents, are stationed here.
    • An alcohol store. 
    • A protestant church.
    • A gas station.
  • You can radio in to HQ at any time.
    • Our computer analysts have determined there is a 16.66% chance of Stasi agents listening in on any given radio message. Remember to take the time to encrypt your messages!

The Sverdlovsk Affair

Image
[Real history]: When the Bolshevik revolution happened and Lenin, a man of science, took charge, soviet scientists were given much more freedom to perform experiments that were hitherto seen as "too juvenile" by westerners. It was a golden era for genius geneticists such as Nikolai Vavilov. When Lenin passed, this golden age did too. The pseudoscientist Trofim Lysenko used his friendship with new leader Stalin to send scientists who disagreed with his false theories of plant genetics to labor camps, leading to the starvation of millions. [The Rest of History]: Vavilov and his associates were sent to do menial work in a small biological weapons facility in Sverdlovsk. There, they swore revenge. Their plan was to depose of Lysenko and create a scientific rennaisance in the soviet union. This plan involved two steps, developed in two top-secret programs.   Nikolai Vavilov (Left), Trofim Lysenko (Right) The Svyatogor program (Named after a hero from russian folklore, meaning ...
