You are correct, I had the game running in Win 95 compatibility mode. Deactivating it solved the problem with this mission.
That is now the third time you helped me with getting a mission to run. If you like, PM me your address and I will send you a personalised thank you card. :thumb:

It is a little more involved if you want to be stealthy about it. :D
I would be interested to know what the stealthy method is. I ghosted the mission with the exception of the ritual. I played the ritual two different ways.
(1) Dashed in to get the body, which stopped the ritual, but alerted everybody. (2) picked the hand from Lady Di Rupo during momentary darkness, which also stopped the ritual, more elegantly and stealthily, but again everybody was alerted after Di Rupo complained. I let it run for 1 hour 20 minutes after that, and the AI never went off alert. Carrying the body generated chases, regardless.

No matter what you do,
they're going to notice eventually that their sacrificial victim is gone or the Hand is missing, and start searching for the perpetrator. So the stealthy approach is to make your move and be out of the room with the Anax (and the Hand too if you like) before they notice. The floor is noisy, so you'll need some moss, and you'll have to find a way to douse the lights so you can make your move unseen.

Thanks. I could not accomplish what you suggested.
The only lights I could extinguish are the ones on the floor level. I could not extinguish the central one or the high ones on the periphery. Floor lights plus moss did not help. The momentary darkness of the other lights was not enough time for me. I'll go back to it later when I have more time.

The central light
cannot be extinguished, but shouldn't make you overly visible. The floor lights and the lights high on the periphery are connected...

Just starting this one and really loving it! Quick question...everything else seems to be working, but for some reason readables look like this:

Anyone have an idea what could be causing this? It doesn't ruin the FM for me, but it's kind of annoying.

Got it, turns out mine got broken somehow and pointed to the wrong direction. Spent like 30 mins poking around the wrong area :)
Had the thought to start a new game and that fixed it.

It would appear that the secret item is randomly placed.
