Gig: The Union Strikes Back

Gig: The Union Strikes Back is a gig in.

Walkthrough
This gig involves finding and neutralizing Vincent Vega, the head of a private security company called C-Team that hires itself out to corporations to keep employees in line and break up unions. This sounds like a straight-forward assassination, but what Rogue Amendiares does not clearly communicate is that she would prefer that Vega be brought to her alive, and no other guards or workers in the office building that C-Team has rented out should be touched at all. However, this is not a firm requirement to successfully complete the gig. Rogue will complain if anyone other than Vega is incapacitated or killed, or if Vega is killed instead of being knocked out and delivered to her, but the gig's reward remains the same in all outcomes. For the optimal outcome where Rogue is satisfied, V must infiltrate the building's second floor, knock out Vega, and carry the unconscious Vega outside the building to a waiting vehicle. Otherwise, storm the building, kill Vega, and leave to finish the gig quickly.

The building has four points of entry: the front door (distract the receptionist to grab the access key on her desk), a garage with two doors that can be opened with Technical Ability or Body, and an open window on the second floor that can be reached from the roof of the garage. There is also an open window in Vega's office, but this is difficult to reach and Vega is facing it. Keep in mind that Vega cannot be carried out of his office window, since he will die from the drop, and he also cannot be carried through the other open window, so V must plan to exit with Vega through one of the ground floor doors. On the upside, the building has no surveillance cameras or turrets to worry about.

One strategy is to enter via the second floor window, sneak into Vega's office, take him down, then carry him downstairs when the guard patrolling the staircase is out of the way. At the bottom of the stairs is a door on the right to a security office with one guard. It is possible to pass through the security office when the guard is looking away to reach the garage and then exit the building.

Once Vega is neutralized, Rogue calls to assess V's performance and send the reward.

Journal Entry

 * At first I thought it was just rumors and the kind of drunken bullshit you hear at a bar at 3 AM, y'know? But when you hear the same story from three separate witnesses, you start taking an interest. Now that my informant confirmed the accounts, it's time to dive into the action.
 * Look, I don't wanna sound like some naggy old crone, but back in my day workers knew how to stand up for themselves. Instead of fixers they had unions to fight for their rights. I know, I know. Anyway, now with the unions gone, these workers can't afford to hire fixers on starvation-level salaries. Lucky for them, I like to do some pro bono work from time to time. You know, a little something for the public good.
 * Onto the fine detes. Vincent Vega - the kind of scum who writes "cracking skulls" in the hobby section of his CV. Well, that's exactly what he's doing in Rancho Coronado. Cracking skulls. Not only that, but he's got the full backing of the corp execs, who'd rather give their workers brain damage instead of a 2% raise.
 * Vega and his people've been terrorizing the whole neighborhood. Workers've had enough - who the fuck wouldn't agree? You're gonna find Vic Vega and end that psycho for good. Maybe then the corpos'll realize they crossed the line.
