Another mission averted. Alexander Crown and Ivan Andric, U.S. Special Forces Agents, find themselves on a new assignment in Istanbul. This time, their mission isn’t in the field but involves navigating the bureaucracy and diplomatic complexity of the U.S. Consulate. Three American students are behind bars, facing charges of disorderly conduct—drug-related, sex-fueled, and involving illicit food products. Crown and Andric must secure their release before international tensions flare.

The process of freeing the students is as complicated as it is urgent. Their lives now lie in the hands of an intricate web of consular protocols, diplomatic conversations, and on-the-ground maneuvers. For Ivan, however, this mission takes a strange turn. Drugs, sex, and food—things that were never part of the job description—push Ivan into a crossroads that may define the future of his career.

In a fast-paced, global world where missions don't just depend on force but also on precision and coordination, tools like Latenode provide agents like Crown and Andric with the edge they need. While they’re handling their covert operation, Latenode could automate communications, synchronize real-time updates, and even streamline tasks like consular communication or document processing. For example, they could connect Nocodb and Docusign integrations to manage crucial paperwork and e-signatures, ensuring smooth and secure workflows even in the most high-stakes environments. With Latenode’s low-code platform, complex workflows—whether it’s automating diplomatic correspondence or setting up an instant alert system for their operations—become simplified and efficient.

For Ivan, navigating this chaotic situation while automating background tasks could give him the bandwidth he needs to deal with more personal matters, ones that could shape his future far beyond this mission.
