The '''Assault on Crystal Security''' was conducted by [[Janissary James]], along with family and her ally [[Durga]], in order to get revenge on gangster [[Thin Kinkle]], who had murdered her father. Kinkle was apparently residing at [[Crystal Security]] warehouse, the front where his boss Monster Ann worked.

*They enter the warehouse. Gladys separates to secure the second floor. Jan patches Durga into the network.<ref>[[Media:ILB_Save_your_prayers.ogg|ILB_Save_your_prayers.ogg]]</ref>
*16- minutes left - Jan and Gilly advance. A grunt engages them in combat; Gilly kills him.
*Jan orders Gilly that only Kinkle be killed,<ref>[[Media:ILB_Pretty_sure.ogg|ILB_Pretty_sure.ogg]]</ref> but Gladys kills someone upstairs before Jan can radio her.<ref>[[Media:ILB_The_nice_grenades.ogg|ILB_The_nice_grenades.ogg]]</ref>

*3 minutes, 12 seconds left<ref name="cold"/> - Jan realizes the gangsters could bottleneck them in the stairwell, and comes up with a plan to blow a hole in the floor.<ref>[[Media:ILB_Kill zone.ogg|ILB_Kill zone.ogg]]</ref>
*The plan is a success. They jump down the hole and hold Kinkle and Monster Ann at gunpoint.<ref>[[Media:ILB_Going_down.ogg|ILB_Going_down.ogg]]</ref>
*Monster Ann tries to sell out Kinkle in exchange for her own safety. Jan becomes uncertain how to proceed.
