Malaysian Threat – report ID 1 in Gone Dark metagame.
Overview[]
Briggs: Someone's calling the US Embassy in Malaysia and threatening the ambassador's family, particularly his son. The kid's a security risk - likes to party with the local oil elite - but he hasn't done anything to attract this kind of attention.
Charlie: Get this - I'm inside casino security in Brunei and the ambassador's son is, like, all over this footage. Losing lots of money, too. SMI took a look at his bank and phone records, too - he made a lot of calls starting with 00617.
Briggs: We've got a possible lead on those phone numbers. They're all to phones with links to a nightclub in the Fortitude Valley district called "Level 7". The club's owned by a local gangster known as Krait, and if you go in the employees only area, there's all sorts of stuff about new club, called "Pele".
Briggs: Got a late-night look inside Pele - it's in Hilo, and it's named after the local volcano goddess. It'll be nice when it opens, especially with all the off-the-blueprint gun lockers I spotted in the basement. Construction's by a company called City of Destiny - maybe they know more.
Grim: SMI's telling me that City of Destiny's the go-to builder for criminal groups in Seattle. Yakuza, Triads, and Krait. I'm looking at stills of their other projects and I'm seeing what looks like weapon crates marked KL being moved into one of them. I can't read the rest of the writing - it's in Bahasa Malaysia.
Briggs: Bugging the ambassador's son's apartment in Kuala Lumpur got us a conversation with Krait. Our boy's the one behind the threats, trying to get his dad to help move Krait's guns in-country from Hawaii in exchange for buying off his debts. We've got enough to hit Krait now, or we can wait for the guns and hope for no complications. What's the call?
Choice[]
Briggs: We put the fear of God in the kid and he tipped on Krait. He's on a fight home, and we picked up Krait in that Brunei casino troing for another fish. Without diplomatic cover, the guns got caught at the border. Everything's good, except that nightclub. Looks ike it won't be opening after all.
