You're sitting in a grey, dingy box with one of your fellow NKVD officers, Dmitri Nicolschi.
He asks you if you're informed on the mission.
"Of course, Comrade Dmitiri," you assure him.
You run over the plan in your head.
You'll be driven through Romania, taken to a remote location in northern Yugoslavia, and flown north in a small fighter plane to be paradropped into Magdeburg, only a few miles West of Berlin.
Dmitri slams a dossier on the table, labeled <span class="mu-r"> OPERATION: ERIKA </span>. You open it up, showing pictures of the location. It describes a parade that will be held there, and briefs you on your mission to <span class="mu-s">assassinate Adolf Hitler.</span>
Stalin will have your head on a pike firmly planted in the coldest part of Siberia if you fail this mission.
Pavel speaks again, in his thick accent, firmly reminiscent of the Motherland,
> "You take gun. Choose."
An unnamed officer walks in and places three firearms on the table in front of you.
One, a suppressed bolt-action sniper that fires a .223 round.
Another, a silenced TT-33 Tokarev, modified to have to be manually racked each shot. It's virtually silent.
The third, a dart gun that fires a small cyanide-loaded dart
Which will you choose before you begin your mission?
> The sniper. Long-range is clearly the best option for this mission.
> The Tokarev. I want to see the look on the Fuhrer's face as he keels over and dies.
> The dart gun. Leave no evidence of assassination, perhaps they will rule it as a natural death.
