Cautiously, the team skirts wide around the trouble spots, and avoids traps left behind by the others. As they approach the objective, they observe that it is being guarded by another team, of unknown allegiance, faces covered in shemaghs. As the team creeps around to the guards\u2019 flank, Baum decides to extract a sample from a nearby pile of locals\u2019 corpses. He is shocked to find that one of them isn\u2019t actually dead, when it attacks him. Concerned about the noise alerting the warehouse guards, the team keeps watch, as Brooks rushes over to help Baum subdue the woman. She is excessively strong and resilient, and highly aggressive, and they put her down with some difficulty. As Baum finally gets his sample, a voice from the warehouse is heard, exclaiming in Arabic that he \u201cfound it\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n<p><!--Precis - Our GURPS Action: Consular Operations campaign continues.
