/ It was midday. The assassins were striding on the sidewalk, having abandoned their pretentious bike from before. Six PM sharp, some of the factions would arrive at the venue, some earlier. It'd be at the very same museum in St Petersburg, and the main target of Sar and Wen were to stash some valuable artifacts, as well as experiencing the action and drama that were to occur. /
"Alright," said Sar, "it's gonna be 6PM soon so we better be ready." the two were gonna make one last stop at their motel to sort out their belongings. Wen fiddled with the keys and opened the door and they made their way in, promptly closing the door after. "I honestly can't wait, it's been so long since last we've robbed a building." Wen commented and opened the closet, searching for some of the hidden weapons, along with a taser and pepper spray for good measure.
"Yeah, same." Sar replied and took out a few tools from a cabinet. "We'll definitely need these, I got them from Katya earlier." she said and gave Wen an electric lock pick, along with some aerosol spray. "So, what do we do, exactly?" Wen asked and secured the items in her bag. "So, the plan goes as follows." Sar started; "We're there to disable all security so that nobody can spot us on the cameras. The lock pick is to unlock doors, obviously, and the spray is to reveal the laser sensors in the air...
—— And thus, they gathered everything needed and swiftly made their way outside. Wen and Sar were dressed in their usual Old Money attire to blend in with the Gala attendees, while definitely concealing a copious amount of weapons underneath. But it was in the name of safety, of course. ——

At the extravagant gala, the criminals made their way in undetected. The Cosa Nostra was already there, securing their position and soon after, everyone was there. Around 6:45PM, guests started arriving—businessmen, oligarchs and politicians. [7:00 PM] Enough of the security personnel were distracted, which was perfect for the factions to begin their heist.

Wen walked in first, being careful enough not to draw attention and Sar avoided being too close and the two observed the museum layout. Dmitry and Salvatore create a distraction outside, and Wen slips through the service hallway toward the alarm panel while Sar moved toward the exhibit floor.
And then, they began disabling security. Wen used a jammer to disable any cameras and with a bypassing device, she hacked into the system and disables the alarms. Meanwhile, Sar used a pair of infrared goggles to navigate through the main exhibit, carefully avoiding tripping the sensors.
"That was crazy." Wen said as she spotted Sar from the distance. "Oh, definitely." The two walked near a storage room where the artifacts were kept. But the door to the storage area required a code. "That's not very ideal in our current situation." said Sar as she took out a hacking tool used to override the keypad. Wen instinctively kept watch for patrolling guards while Sar cracked the code.
Finally, inside the vault, there were numerous priceless historical treasures. Their eyes were beaming with excitement and walked closer. "No way José." Sar commented, and took one item into her hands, the Czardom's Specter. "Holy dookie, that's probably from Nicholas II." said Wen, looking at the scepter. "Yeah, and all the Tsars before him." Sar responded and carefully put it back on the ground.
"Ooh, look at this bow." Wen mentioned and picked up Khan's Bow. "Damn, that's from Genghis Khan himself. It's so impressive, honestly." Sar replied and took another item. "Wow, they even have Napoleon's Campaign Saber." she said and examined it. "Ok, how on earth did they get all this." Wen said in disbelief, and Sar just shrugged. "I dunno, but it's pretty awesome."
=====
After discussing and skimming through possibly every artifact, they got what they wanted the most—the Scepter and Saber. Placing it into a reinforced briefcase, Sar and Wen walked out secretly like they didn't just commit fraud. But then it happened; Katya warned them through the earpiece that a guard nearby noticed the disabled cameras and was now searching the area.
"Well, crap." Sar muttered and Wen quickly reactivated the camera system. "Hopefully they don't notice us now." Wen said and they stepped away into a dark corner of the room. The guard checked the area but luckily didn't find Sar nor Wen.
.........
Narrowly escaping detection, they use a different route to leave the museum, avoiding main hallways and sticking to service corridors. Dmitry signals that the distraction has ended, and all eyes are back on the gala. Katya unlocks a staff door remotely, allowing them to exit into an alley unnoticed.
