Asuka’s note

Asuka has left a note. A reporter has been nosing around, so she and Maria have taken a little holiday until you can get rid of this perverted voyeur. He is probably out in the bay as you read this. Steal a police boat and sink his career.

Steal the Predator

A police Predator is moored at a jetty close to the condo, marked on the radar. Walk down the jetty and press the enter vehicle key when you are next to the boat. The help text explains that the boat’s machine guns fire with the fire key.

Sink the reporter

The reporter’s boat is a red blip racing around the bay toward Portland. A damage bar shows how close it is to sinking. Get right behind it, hold the fire key and steer to keep the bullets on it. It weaves, so match its turns rather than overshooting. When the bar fills, his boat explodes.

What fails this mission

Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:

  • The reporter escapes

After the mission

Asuka pays $10,000 and offers Payday For Ray. The Predator is a useful boat to keep: it is fast and armed, and handy for reaching hidden packages on the water.
