Meanwhile, Lynch communicates with <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=Chana_Baum\">Chana<\/a>, who warns of an incoming probably-American drone strike. As the team scrambles for cover, Mahoney saves the briefcase containing the contagion samples by hurriedly cutting off a dead enemy\u2019s hand to which it was handcuffed. Some members are lightly injured in the explosion, and the team elects to hide and wait out the drones. Once they leave, the team quickly leaves the city and regroups with Chana, giving her the samples, as promised.<\/p>\n<p>The team leaves amongst the WHO medical personnel who are vacating the camps, and catches the next flight back to Israel, where they can take a few days to recuperate, and sift through the intel they\u2019ve gathered.

The rest of the team blends in with the caf\u00e9 patrons and keeps an eye out during the meeting. The contact reveals that Medvedev has been picked up by British Intelligence, and Milic is seeing an opportunity to take over the business; Brooks indicates he might be interested in helping. But the meeting is cut short when an unidentified \u201clookout\u201d is spotted, kicking off a very-brief firefight with other assassins in the area, some arriving on motorcycles and some hiding amongst the caf\u00e9 patrons as well. Brooks reveals he\u2019s brought help, as police sirens close in the distance.<\/p>\n<p><!--Precis - Our GURPS Action: Consular Operations campaign continues.
