Corsio remains behind in the Mojave hangar as Jesse abandons the motel and drives into downtown Los Angeles, the suppressed rifle and ammunition secured in a canvas case.
He reaches a concealed rooftop above the convention center through a locked maintenance stairwell. Air-conditioning units mask his movement while floodlights sweep the streets below.
Jesse
The stage is within range, and the broadcast feed is live.
Jesse settles behind the rifle and sights through the scope. Onstage, Nicolae Carpathia appears before a massive audience as cameras transmit the ceremony worldwide.
Nicolae Carpathia
Permanent peace requires permanent identification. Every citizen will soon receive a biometric chip in the hand or forehead.
Nicolae Carpathia
Linked to your bank account, the chip will be required to buy or sell. No one will be excluded from security, order, or prosperity.
The nearby monitor repeats his words beneath the ceremony logo. Through the scope, Carpathia pauses beside the emblem while security teams reposition around the stage, leaving Jesse with a clear view and an open choice.

SUCCESS (Legendary Firearms, rolled -3)
Jesse
In the name of Jesus, I condemn you.
Jesse steadies the crosshairs on Nicolae Nicolae Carpathia’s head and squeezes the trigger. The suppressed rifle cracks across the rooftop as the round strikes its mark, dropping Nicolae Carpathia beside the ceremony emblem.
The live broadcast catches the sudden collapse. Audience members scatter, security agents surge toward the stage, and the ceremony’s promise of compulsory identification breaks into screams and confusion.
The rifle’s report is louder than expected despite the suppressor. A rooftop sensor flashes red, and footsteps begin pounding up the maintenance stairwell.
On the monitor, Nicolae Carpathia lies motionless while officials pull him from view. The world witnesses the interruption before the feed cuts to a frozen ceremony logo.
Jesse has accomplished the headshot, but the spent round and rifle position have exposed the rooftop to an immediate security response.
