As the six enter the briefing room, they come across a radio on a table - Mockingbird, their supervisor and the one who just made the announcement, never shows his face. Also on the table are costumes - black paint, fake spikes, and a mask that looks like Alex, a black leather trenchcoat, boots, cowboy hat, sunglasses, a broadsword and shotgun, an orb decorated with images of rock and earth, and a mess of burlap that, when properly assembled, looks like Patches.
"What's all this?" asked Midas.
"Gentlemen," said Mockingbird via the radio. "When the Marksmen were brought under Majestic's employ, we struggled to find stealth operations for you, since most of what you do ends with something exploding or several people dead - not exactly the quietest approach. This mission, though, is perfect for you.
We framed US Secretary Marshall Judah for the assassination attempt on Zenmei Gekkani, a student at Tracgram University. We sent agents to start a riot against this attempt in Sanctuary. The agents escaped, but the citizens were captured. As we speak we are detonating earthquake bombs under their residences to destroy them and frame Marshall Judah - for who else would know where they live but the man who ordered their arrest and forced them back in their homes?
Of course, not everyone is going to believe this - the people of Fantasma, despite the assassination happening there, are much closer to Judah then the people of Haven, where his embassy is. Ironic, isn't it? But that's not the point. We've set up events that will split the world's opinion on Judah. The air is thick, and we need you to light the spark by killing him.
Of course, it's not that simple - you can't just do it looking like yourselves. The world needs something more visible to hate then a ragtag band of misfits. Enter your disguises - you're going to imitate the White Platoon. Midas, with your newfound skills you'd be perfect to imitate Alexander von Koopa. Smokescreen, your body type matches Dr. Y perfectly, and your unique body structure can allow you to mimic his strange flexibility. Order, the orb you see before you covers you in an earthen set of armor - perfect for disguising you as Ganymede, or rather 'Erix' as he was formerly known. Duplired, you can transform - you're perfect to imitate Terrus. Dupligreen, I'm afraid you'll have to be limited to Duma's form. And Apathy, I know you won't complain about having to imitate Patches, but this suit should make you look more humanoid.
An airship is waiting to take you to Sanctuary, where you'll have some... very visible backup. Your job is to get attention and make it absolutely clear you want Marshall Judah dead. Make some noise, people.
If there are any questions, I will allow three minutes to ask and answer them. After that you are merely wasting time."
