Another GTA mishap

This sort of passes as a progress report but it's also an indication of how poorly I was playing on Sunday.

In a separate mission, I was *in* a helicopter that was going out to a cargo ship anchored in the harbour as a Jedi Master (he looked like one) was holding some refugees hostage in a cargo container. It was my objective to free the refugees.

So we're in the helicopter and I'm manning the mini-gun, trying to shoot down all the Da Nang boys who are shooting at us with various weapons and a couple of RPGs. Eventually, we get cut down by a missile and it's into the water I go, losing my entire cache of weapons. I did, however, manage to keep my knife. Stealth attacks were in order, so it seems.

It took me ages to navigate around the cargo ship and every now and then, I fell off some crates and hurt myself. Sometimes, I couldn't even climb up the crates.

Eventually I managed to free the refugees. Then it was up to me find the Jedi, who was up on the bridge doing tai chi. Silly man thought that he had a chance by engaging me in a katana fight to the death but 3 quick movements and he was down and out.

Finally, it was off to meet the refugees who were waiting for me to hold their hands and take them down to the dinghys. As I made my way from the bridge to where the refugees were waiting for me... I WALKED OFF THE SHIP.

Fortunately for my controller, I didn't die in the fall and was able to swim back around the ship, make my way back up and free the refugees.
