Shelma,
My dearest comrade, you know what you have to do, I know what you have to do, but out of my fond affection for our cherished administration and for the sake of Soviet order I must remind you of what you are to do.
Generally speaking, you will use your skills for the glory of the Soviet nation. More precisely, you are to track carefully the actions of the Chinese in the Net and act as a smoke screen for my duties in town.
Find out where they are in their discussions with Arasaka, map their strong and weak points. Just give me a reason for us to fight them! Enter cyberspace my running comrade and fight!
The more you learn, the better. Do not get caught, my friend, and once you return you are most welcome to come to my dacha for one of THOSE parties ;)
Your Misha
