Gig: Fixer, Merc, Soldier, Spy

Gig: Fixer, Merc, Soldier, Spy is a gig in.

Journal Entry

 * Some loose-lipped, bar-hopping Arasaka suits have let out word about some big deal going down with the commies. Seems it wasn't just talk for a pissing contest with rival corpos either. THE Mikhail Akulov arrived in Night City a while ago (the one from the car with the tracker). A top-class Soviet fixer.
 * My client wants Akulov's datashard, supposedly containing extremely valuable intel on talks with the Japanese.
 * Go the [sic] hotel where Akulov's staying and swipe that data out from under his nose. As if it needs to be said but he'll have heavy protection. And remember I'll pay extra if you get in and out without a trace.
 * Call me when it's done.

Main objectives

 * Enter Hotel Raito.
 * Gain access to the elevator.
 * Go to Mikhail Akulov's penthouse.
 * Obtain Mikhail Akulov's datashard.
 * Leave the hotel.
 * Call Regina.
 * Deliver the shard to Regina's client.
 * Collect your bonus from the Drop Point.

Optional objectives

 * Do not raise the alarm.

Trivia

 * The name of this quest is a reference to the spy novel by John le Carré. A film and a miniseries were also based on the same book.
 * Similarly, CD Projekt RED used the same reference for another quest in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt called Tinker, Hunter, Soldier, Spy.
 * The characters "Mikhail" and "Nadezhda" are likely a reference to Phillip and Elizabeth Jennings of the television show The Americans, given their names, careers, and differences in attitude regarding their mission.
 * Requires Main Job: 'Playing For Time' to be completed in order to appear. (Meet Takemura in the diner.)
