Ep 2, Act 2 - Recon
The call comes in. The strike is to occur that very evening, less than 5 hours time. Still tired after the last mission, the Talons grab some rack time, go over their plans and prepare their gear. True to their word, the Imperials deliver eight explosive charges, complete with radio detonators.
The transport arrives shortly after. Without fanfare, the Talons are gestured on-board. Along with them, another two dozen people get on board. The majority are clearly Imperial Army from their uniforms and gear. Four off to one side, whilst clearly Imperial look more like they are special forces.
The Talons are primarily ignored, though Flash gets a large number of hostile looks from the Imperials. The army soldiers chat eagerly to each other and occasionally to one of the human Talons. The Special Forces men silently check their gear and then spend the time studying their datapads.
After nearly two hours, the transport co-pilot comes into the rear. He speaks to the team commanders before moving before the Talons. Clearly unsure who is in command, he speaks to the entire group.
"You're the second drop. You're being dropped approximately 10 klicks south of the target zone. You'll have to hump it from there. You have exactly five hours to make it there, complete your task and make it to the extraction point. You're not there, you walk home. Co-ordinates are being downloaded to your datapads. Good luck gentlemen." He moves on.
Five minutes later, the first team are dropped off at their location. Approximately fifteen minutes later, the Talons get the green light. They quickly hustle off the transport. Moments later, the ship has taken off, leaving the team alone.
They had been dropped in a large field, that stretched as far as they could see. According to their datapads the target zone was 11.3km SSE. Programming in the co-ordinates for the petrochem plant they found it was just under 400km, to the west.
OOC: Okay, the mission is starting. Everyone needs to supply a gear list or I will assume you brought nothing but basic weaponry. Jamie has 8 explosive charges. His studying of the plans tells him he can likely do the job with 6 (if he does it right), sparing 2 charges for Zenna's team.
At present the teams consist of:
Team 1: Exilim, Jamie, Mark, Devon, Flash
Team 2: Zenna, Daron, Bishop
Zyra's slicer contact has yet to show.
