Borderline Chaos

• Blue Team (Baum, sniper; Vega, spotter) sets up 500m from objective, in overwatch
• Red Team (Mahoney, CBRN; Hurt, backup) approaches objective, bunker (Facility 36), under cover of bombed-out town to the west
  • Circles dilapidated objective building, finds no other entrances
  • Distracts guard w/ rock; quickly picks lock & enters
• No radio contact inside bunker. Team observes pile of bullet-riddled bodies, scientists; human-sized specimen cages, cells. Bunker is stripped of intel. Team clears area. Single female survivor in one of the cells, suffering from effects of some bioweapon. Team puts down survivor, takes samples, moves body to incinerator. Team searches scientists’ bodies for intel, finds nothing, but one scientist appears to be “Russian.”
• Blue Team observes Syrian command convoy arriving at base for inspection and chewing out garrison. Soon after, observes Russians, Spetsnaz, arriving at base in Mil-24s, chewing out Syrian command. Team snaps photos.
• Red Team quietly open bunker door; guards run, screaming
  • Base responds to commotion at bunker, converges
  • Guards (accidentally?) machine-gunned, possibly fearing outbreak
  • Soldiers enter just before incinerator fires on time.
  • Helos circle looking for intruders; one RTB.
  • Red Team exits amid distraction
• Teams regroup, exfil by locally-acquired truck, via Iraq border-crossing

• Back at HQ. Intel sent up to be analyzed.
• Hamilton Riggs, the boss, calls, disappointed about chain-of-command issues, unsanctioned op
• Phillip Quinn calls:
  • Spetsnaz commander from airbase may be in charge of bioweapons
  • New “favor”; ASGARD YELLOW CHECKMATE; new person-of-interest, CS:Heimdall (Jerry Melendez, “American”, works for Good Samaritans of America transport co), operating out of Port Said (at AraCan hotel)—recon, see what he’s up to
• Cover IDs selected

• Team crosses Egyptian border, separately:
  • Hurt flagged, followed by Egyptian National Security (NSA) agents. Tries to lose them but fails. Ambushes them in an alley; chokes one to unconsciousness, and shoots the other dead. “Robs” them and leaves the scene.
  • Mahoney’s ID was flagged (cover downgraded)
  • Vega steals a Mercedes, via valet convinced he’s Russell Crowe
• Team meets at hotel café to strategize: Hurt+Baum to check in to Heimdall’s hotel, while Vega+Mahoney wait for him to leave, shadow him
• Hurt & Baum observe from AraCan hotel lobby. Vega & Mahoney wait at nearby boat-restaurant
• At evening, Heimdall leaves hotel:
  • Heimdall followed from hotel by third-party (3×NSA)—Hotel Team passes photos to drive team.
  • Drive-Team in Mercedes, follows Heimdall’s taxi to soccer game (Al-Masry Club Stadium). Heimdall exits taxi at stadium with different laptop-bag than he got in with.
  • Hotel-Team gets a room. Baum bribes porter for Heimdall’s room number. At room, Baum uses “towel+icebucket” to trick housekeeping to let him in. Hurt enters afterward. Plant bugs. Observe the room is spotless, sharp; find no other intel.
  • Vega tails taxi as it leaves stadium; another dude (CS:Bragi) gets out with original laptop bag, enters storefront; police sirens, cruisers soon converge on storefront
  • Mahoney goes into soccer game, 10 seats back from Heimdall, surveils meeting with stranger (CS:Baldr), lip-reads near-argument about overdue shipment (should be in Kuwait tonight; transfer to Socotra, close to Somalia; Operation Pablo Jimenez is a go), just before nearby NSA agents move in on the two
