Mission 33 of 67Story mission
A reporter has been taking photographs of the Yakuza from a boat, on the reasonable assumption that nobody would follow him out onto the water. Asuka leaves a note rather than meeting in person, and the answer to the reporter is a police launch with guns on it.
It is the game's first mission fought entirely at sea, and it ends on a dock because the reporter runs out of water before he runs out of nerve.
The police boat is the point: it is the only thing on the water with mounted guns, and the chase is not winnable in an ordinary boat.
The reporter runs rather than fights, and letting him get away fails the mission. Sustained fire from the Predator is what stops him.
If he beaches the boat the job finishes on foot, which is quicker than trying to sink an empty hull.
Who this mission brings together, and the ground it covers.
Playable
Left for dead by his partner during a bank job and freed from a prison transport by an explosion he had nothing to do with. Says nothing at all for the length of the story and works his way through every organisation in Liberty City regardless.
