Mahoney conducts the interrogation, and Heimdall reveals all, including personal details on the team, Operation: Klendathu Black Shadow (which preceded their own Syria operation), and the the cargo aboard <em>M\/V Pegasi,<\/em> a Russian bioweapons scientist.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, Reilly speaks privately to Riggs about <em>his<\/em> involvement in Opn:KBS, and Riggs puts the pieces together for the team: CS:Loki, the Russian scientist Reilly helped extract; CS:Odin, whom they formerly knew as CS:Rook; and CS:Frigga, AKA <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=Jennifer_Harrington\">Jennifer Harrington<\/a> of their own company, involved with CS:Odin and probable source of the unsanctioned operation\u2014ConsOps is clearly compromised.

On the way, Heimdall is dropped off for the local Israeli police to find. The team&#8217;s new cover-company has a seaplane awaiting them at the airport. They immediately fly to Cairo, Egypt, where CS:Bragi and <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=C\/S_Baldr\">Baldr<\/a> (now dead) were known to operate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"dateline\">Afternoon, 14 Feb<br \/>Cairo, Egypt<br \/>Operation: ASGARD BLACK CHECKMATE<\/div>\n<p>In Cairo, the team uses Heimdall&#8217;s cell-phone to get Bragi&#8217;s number, and the Q-phone to ping Bragi&#8217;s phone&#8217;s GPS: it is located at the Sofitel Cairo El Gezirah. With funds generously and unwittingly provided by Heimdall&#8217;s seized accounts, the team splits: Vega and Reilly waiting in one rented car some distance from the hotel, while Mahoney and Baum take another rented car to the hotel itself. Mahoney enters the lobby to try to discover Bragi&#8217;s room number, but instead spots their target leaving the lobby, being assaulted outside, and being stuffed into another vehicle, which speeds away. The team shadows the strangers, communicating by radio to hand off pursuit from one vehicle to the other, managing to apparently remain unnoticed as they track it to a downtown warehouse.<\/p>\n<p><!--Precis - Our GURPS Action: Consular Operations campaign continues. The team discovers their parent organization has been compromised, but Quinn, now dead, had planned ahead for this eventuality. They fly to Cairo to continue the mission without the company's sanction or support, looking to bring in CS: Bragi. --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dramatis Person\u00e6 GM: Rigil Kent Adam Vega (Ronnke) Ilan Baum (Herodian) Naritpal Mahoney (CommJunkee) Mackenzie Reilly (Gigermann) Without Sanction Midday, 14 FebHaifa, IsraelOperation: ASGARD BLACK CHECKMATE Back at the team&#8217;s warehouse-headquarters in Haifa, Quinn&#8217;s briefcase is opened: within it, the laptop containing CS:Heimdall&#8217;s financial information, a special smartphone, and new identities for the team as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[55,54],"tags":[56,38,36,39],"class_list":["post-3535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cs_logs","category-consops","tag-action","tag-campaign","tag-gurps","tag-recap"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3535"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blog.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3535\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3546,"href":"https:\/\/blog.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3535\/revisions\/3546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
