Then they phoned in an emergency, &#8220;armed men taking a hooded hostage into this warehouse,&#8221; before firing a few pistol shots near the phone to accentuate the threat. As expected, a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Unit_777\">Unit 777<\/a> response team arrived, led by National Security agent Ahmed El-Sisi\u2014the team filed into the responders&#8217; ranks unchallenged, wearing matching uniforms.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, as the responders were getting set up for the raid, a car sped out of the warehouse. The agent pointed to Reilly and commanded him to get a car (Vega&#8217;s) and pursue it, which he did.<\/p>\n<p>Their identities still undiscovered, Baum and Mahoney participated in the raid on the warehouse that followed. Due to the lead agent&#8217;s poor tactical decisions, the situation immediately erupted in a firefight with what turned out to be well-armed, elite Russian soldiers. There were many casualties on both sides. Mahoney survived a grenade by jumping into a dumpster, where he was then showered with bullets, and was badly wounded in the hand and leg. A few of the Russians managed to flee the scene. Afterward, Baum was able to get Mahoney medical attention, and entered the warehouse to find CS:Bragi strung up, badly beaten, and possibly dead\u2014only he didn&#8217;t quite look &#8220;correct?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Vega and Reilly shadowed the fleeing car to a parking garage. Within, they were surprised as the car&#8217;s occupants were killed in an ambush by an SMG-wielding CS:Bragi. Vega drifted the truck around and knocked CS:Bragi off his feet against a barricade, and swung it around for another charge, as Reilly bailed out in-motion and charged up to the downed enemy. He held the shotgun at CS:Bragi&#8217;s face and demanded his surrender. Vega stepped out of the truck to see if the car&#8217;s occupants were in possession of the missing laptop case, when he heard their quarry say something in Russian to Reilly; Reilly responded, and calmly turned the shotgun to Vega and shot him twice in the chest\u2026<\/p>\n<p><!--Precis - Our GURPS Action: Consular Operations campaign continues.
