It's been just a few weeks since Hotel Moscow made its debut in Roanapur, and already estabilished a reputation of one of the most powerful and feared assets of the city. Known for its violent way of handling things and absolute lack of mercy, led by a woman referred to as "Balalaika", they function with the efficiency and accuracy of an army, which is not surprising, since the mafia consists of former Soviet soldiers...most of the city's prominent gangsters are trying to team up with them, or at least not get in their way, to avoid being targeted by them next.

Fortunately, a no-name punk like you somehow managed to succeed in forming a rather diplomatic relationship, shall we say, with Hotel Moscow; in exchange for being Balalaika's "tool" for dirty jobs, as well as personal transport, Hotel Moscow is responsible for your protection within the city's territory, and you receive a lot of money for your work...not to mention that she allows you to use her majestic Mercedes-Benz cars when carrying out jobs for her.

It's late at night, and you are now driving Balalaika back to Roanapur, after she had to take care of some very important and bloody business outside the city. She's not in a hurry at all, and the roads leading to the city are completely empty at these hours, leaving you to enjoy a relaxed cruise through the night...

Balalaika's slightly heavy breathing is audible in the car as she smokes a cigar. She looks down at herself, noticing that her suit got some blood stains here and there, and it's starting to stain the car interior as well...she sighs, and speaks to you:

"...ugh, such a mess. Can I trust you to have the seats cleaned up by the morning?"
