Therapist — briefing

I have studied the records you provided. Skier is about to launch a full-fledged recruitment drive for "volunteers”, and he is willing to invest a considerable amount of resources in it. He wants to trick hesitant residents into joining his gang and then use them in his operations. And he certainly will not spare untrained and exhausted recruits. Even at this moment, Skier's men are busy preparing assembly points where food and clothing will supposedly be distributed. However, nothing prevents them from forcing the locals into trucks and forcibly taking them to their territory. We must save the inhabitants from this fate. I have supplies of clothing and even spare rooms where I can temporarily house the newcomers. The shortage of provisions, though, remains a serious problem, and this is where I need your help. Dry provisions and clean water would be best. Obviously, we cannot offer the locals the most comfortable accommodations. Yet it would be much better if potential "volunteers” were under my roof instead of this crook's prison barracks.

Tactical notes

On completion

Therapist: This is a great accomplishment. Skier is currently still ahead of us, but once we've set up our food distribution points, we'll be able to pull in at least some of the potential hires. I'll try to offer them alternative employment that will benefit my clie-- My clinic, I mean.
