The provided surgeon, Dr. Woodcomb, stabilizes Vladimir Medvedev, and also treats the less severely injured <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=Mackenzie_Reilly\">Reilly (CS:Njord)<\/a>, who later regains consciousness. Meanwhile, Lynch and Mahoney identify Ta\u2019izz as their best chance to catch <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=C\/S_Loki\">Breznikov (CS:Loki)<\/a>, while Baum and Brooks check in with their respective HQs.<\/p>\n<p>Brooks hatches a plan to use his cover as arms-dealer bodyguard, and playing the victim, get Reilly to confide in him. In the same office-room as the drug-addled Reilly, Lynch \u201cbeats up\u201d Brooks while demanding to know about Ta\u2019izz, before getting \u201ccalled away.\u201d Afterward, Brooks notices Reilly struggling with a second \u201csleeper personality\u201d; in his confused state, Reilly confirms that Breznikov was involved in the biological attack in Ta\u2019izz. On the monitors in an adjacent room, the doctor, there to inform on the patients\u2019 condition, points out an odd scar on Reilly\u2019s head that might indicate some form of \u201cconditioning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With Lynch in the room with Brooks and Reilly another time, the interrogation is interrupted by the CIA officer there to oversee the site, Walker, with eyes glazed over, as she enters and sprays Reilly with automatic fire from an AK74. Lynch tries to wrestle the weapon away from her, as she backpedals out to the balcony, where she is killed by Baum with some well-placed pistol shots. At the same time, the Doctor notices on the monitors that a breaching team\u2014local UAE federal officers\u2014is stacking up on the front door.<\/p>\n<p>The team scrambles for their rifles as four officers burst through the door into the lobby; they pop smoke and storm toward the warehouse stairs. One officer\u2019s flash-bang throw is interrupted by Mahoney\u2019s; the stunned officer\u2019s own flash-bang detonates at his feet. Brooks defends the stairs with Walker\u2019s AK74, while Baum hangs back to cover his probable retreat, as Lynch fetches his own rifle and catches up. Meanwhile, Mahoney swings over the rail and drops to the warehouse floor below, covered in smoke, and lays suppressing fire on the stairs, effectively ending the fight. All but one of the officers is badly injured, the other taken captive.<\/p>\n<p>The team immediately starts tear-down procedures, as the doctor informs them that the scanner is picking up more police traffic; backup is inbound. Reilly is, surprisingly, not dead. Brooks decides they should leave his former objective, Vladimir, behind for the police to pick up\u2014he\u2019ll live. The team then quickly packs up what intel they have, along with Walker\u2019s body (so the CIA might not be implicated), and Reilly, and the doctor to try to save him, and they flee the scene.<\/p>\n<p><!--Precis - Our GURPS Action: Consular Operations campaign continues.
