This mission started out as a testing ground for various ideas about a year ago.
While recently reaquainting myself with Dromed after a long break, I realized I
could make it into a real mission, so I put together the missing bits and pieces
in about a week, as practice before getting on with any big ones. This is the
quickest mission I've done so far, so it's short, sweet, simple and somewhat silly.
I hope you enjoy it!

PS: I tend to get out of control as far as architecture and detail goes, so the
minimum system requirements are probably higher than for Thief 2.

Introduction:

"I moved into my new Dayport digs not long ago. All's well until my neighbor across
the river gets a windchime. The damn thing jingles day and night, loud enough to
rouse the Trickser, and I haven't had a good night's sleep all week. Tonight, the
infernal contraption will disappear. Into the river.

I've scribbled down a hasty map... this is still a new area for me and it wouldn't
do to get lost in my own backyard. This is hardly the heist of the year, so my
leftover tools from the last job will have to do.

Well, the neighbor's asleep and I'm wide awake. Time to grab what I need and hit
the road."
