Guided Training[]
This operation originally took place in Sydney, Australia. The target was Kalvin Ritter infamous cat burglar also known as "The Sparrow,"
And remember; as a ICA agent you are the most dangerous person in any room.
Oh, and don't worry about the training operatives. All weapons are simulated. Good luck, Initiate."
Background story[]
Kalvin Ritter is the target of the mission.
The mission takes place at the ICA Training Facility and is a recreation of an assassination which took place in Sydney, Australia. The target is Kalvin Ritter a.k.a. The Sparrow. Ritter is a master thief for hire who specializes in priceless rare art.
The agent carrying out the assassination was able to sneak onto Ritter's private yacht during a social gathering and eliminate him without any guest noticing.

Guide[]
Boarding the yacht[]
Ewan Roberts is the first character you are instructed to subdue.
You will first be told to approach the gangway where you will find out that you cannot board the yacht in your current disguise (Training Gear). You will be told to infiltrate the cargo area instead. Head over to the cargo area behind you to the left and enter through the window. As soon as you enter, a notice will appear that you are trespassing. You will be prompted to take cover behind a couple of barrels and then subdue the mechanic working nearby. You will learn about how attacks from behind make little noise compared to attacks from the front or from unsilenced weapons.
After dealing with the mechanic, you will be instructed to conceal his body. You can drag it into the bathroom to hide before putting on the mechanic's clothes as a disguise. When you head towards the yacht's side entrance you will be informed that persons marked with a white dot above their heads (referred to as "enforcers") will see through your disguise and become suspicious if you linger too close to them. The enforcer here will never turn around so simply walk straight past him and up the stairs in the far-right corner.
Waiting for the right moment[]
Agent 47 blending in at the bar as Kalvin Ritter is talking to Terry Norfolk.
As you reach the main deck, you will be instructed to locate the target. You will also learn about using Instinct Mode. When you reach the target, Kalvin Ritter, you will be instructed to follow him. When Ritter heads upstairs, you will notice that you are not allowed access while wearing a mechanic's disguise. You will be instructed to disguise yourself as a yacht crew member instead. You will specifically be guided to the yacht's kitchen. You will be taught about how blunt objects will knock people out without killing them and that bodies should be hidden if possible.
Pick up the Wrench on the table in front of you and follow the instructions on how to throw it at the crew member. Put his disguise on and follow the instructions on how to drag his body and hide it in the freezer. You are now allowed to go upstairs and will be instructed to infiltrate Ritter's private deck. Head back to the stairs while wearing the crewman's disguise and find Ritter. You will be informed that Ritter knows his crew members intimately and that you need to blend in by working at the bar before he spots you. After blending in, wait and observe the target as he talks to his client, Terry Norfolk.
The assassination[]
Kalvin Ritter being assassinated with the silenced pistol right behind Norfolk's back.
After following Ritter and Norfolk to the former's private office you will notice that you are not allowed to enter the room. You will be instructed to sneak into the office instead through an open window. Once you have located the window and slipped inside you will be informed about autosave and manual save. You will be prompted to take cover by the wall and observe the meeting between Ritter and Norfolk. Listen to the conversation for a few seconds and you will be instructed to equip your silenced pistol. Once you have the weapon in your hand you will be instructed to eliminate the target and informed on how to aim and shoot with the weapon.
After killing Ritter, you will be instructed to disembark the yacht. Head downstairs again and walk towards the gangway. You will be informed that the crew member standing at the bottom of the ramp is an enforcer and that you need to find another escape route. You will be guided towards the stairs right behind you, which leads back down to the lower deck. Once down the stairs you should be careful of a yacht security guard who will become suspicious of you if he sees you. Keep following the path the game prompts you to follow until you are instructed to breach the gate. When you reach the gate, you will notice that it is locked but will be informed that a crowbar can be used to break it open. A crowbar can be found right behind you on top of a box. Simply pick it up and break the gate open. Now all you have to do is to run over to the car and push the red button in order to end the mission.
