In reply to Taras Vladimirovich Shevchenko (msg #2):

Nic also attended to the battle drills and was waorking hard to put on and off the NBC-suits. When he was satisfied with the drills and saw that the recce team is familiar with this stuff, he gave the orders to move to their FOB.

At the FOB the vehicles were parked out of sight from the streets. Unfortunatly, the doors were not large enough to parkthem inside.
However, the last preterations for the recce to the nuke-site began.

Re: Rad Recce Run Pt. 1 (1600-2000)

The powerful zodiac departed the terminal leaving a tell-tale of white foam. Each member of the crew had assigned a sector to watch. Taras realized that there was no time or ideal visual conditions to do a solid assessment of the damage to the bridges. Not only the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing but also the adjacent CNR railway bridge. Both structures had collapsed and the remains offered a grotesque spectacle. A gap with generous lateral clearance was negotiated while the geiger counters were registering the radioctivity of the area. At some point Taras was tempted to illuminate the ruins but he judged that it would compromise the mission and the return trip would be conducted in daylight with plenty of time to further inquire about the fallen bridges.

Once the catastrophic landscape was left behind the powerful engines were brought up to increased rpms in order to make good time and the RIB was seen speeding towards the <i.Cul-de-sac</i> conforming the area of operations. Radioactive levels were measured again and the watch continued scanning the shores for possible human activity.

Re: Rad Recce Run Pt. 1

Sunday 22 April
0330 Hours





If anything, the weather worsened from heavy rain to what was quite possibly a tropical storm, even the remains of a hurricane coming off the ocean. The damaged gymnasium roof leaked in spots inside, while almost gale-force winds drove a cold heavy rain almost sideways.

The team gathered in the wee hours long before dawn to receive their final briefing and patrol orders. They could only imagine how things were, out on the water.

Lightning strobed overhead, every few minutes in bursts.

Re: Rad Recce Run Pt. 1

After arriving at the forward outpost, Sgt. Fox busied himself with setting up security with the American contractor (fellow vet friends of Tyler) and making sure electricity and water was available. Also, setting up comms with the New West militia and police.

He also cleaned his weapons and checked his gear. Wanting a little more firepower and/or a way to signal and mark targets, he attached the team's unclaimed M203 and a quantity of 40mm ammunition. In the morning he was ready to go, making sure some kind of hot meal was ready. Instant coffee in hand, Fox peered outside into the gloom. He shook his head in dismay at the gale-force winds and driving rain.

"Jesus, looks like a fuckin' hurricane out there! No wonder the damn river is overflowing. It'll make visibility tough, but hopefully any opposition isn't going to get out of bed."

"Kel, looks like you got your wish regarding rain. Not much contamination in the air with all this wind and rain."


Although they were only supposed to be going on a short patrol, he was mindful of the Blackhawk Down fiasco. He made sure to take some food and water, plus his body armour and inserts.

"Remember to make sure we got food and water, everyone. Also, we're riding, so we can have body armour, too."

He wasn't wearing rain gear, trusting that the Nylon jump smock would be waterproof enough for the day's outing.

Rachel helped with organising  base security. She talked with the New West cops.

Her judgement was they were trustworthy but seemed overly quick to resort to violence and intimidation. Not surprising, considering the circumstances.

She also made sure the LAV was good to go for the morning, mechanical-wise.

"Man, you got it. It's nasty out there!" She ate some scrambled eggs with diced green peppers and onions from a mess kit. Luckily, these were fresh eggs from the UBC Farm and not powdered eggs.

Keith was gunner for the LAV, so he spent his evening making sure the weapons systems were functional.

In the morning, he dressed in his USMC fatigues over an OD sweater. Keith wrapped the Kheffiyeh he picked up in Iran around his neck as a drive-on rag to keep himself warm and his neck and lower face somewhat dry. Done with inspecting the Kodiak he came in from the rain, dripping wet. His FNC was slung over his shoulder, stock folded to fit better in the turret.

"Ho-lee shit! It's really pissing down out there."

He didn't have a personal radio, so made sure he had one of the team's tactical radios.

Re: Rad Recce Run Pt. 1



- Storm waves on 3rd Beach, Stanley Park.


Out on the water with the RIB, things were rather rough but not quite disastrous. The boat was low and stable with powerful engines, and it was sheltered water.

Still, there were 2-3 foot waves driven by the wind through the Lion's Gate narrows and Second Narrows to deal with. Wind and current pushed them too close to the wreckage and they spent a good half hour or more just navigating through safely in the pitch darkness and driving rain.

One of the two Geiger counters and a flashlight (but not the mounted spotlight) were lost overboard due to the furious pounding of the waves and the driving wind. Maneuvering around in the RIB was very difficult due to the need to wear both bunny suits and life jackets. Considering how rough it was, there was absolutely no other way to operate safely. For that, what sampling was accomplished suggested that radiological levels were safe in most areas but slightly elevated nearer the blast sight at the former Shellburn refinery.

The automatic pump kept the craft from foundering from the water they were shipping, and the weapons had to be stowed or otherwise secured to prevent them from being lost overboard. Getting wet wouldn't be much of a problem for the weapons but everything had to be securely fastened and tied down or it would be lost.

Finally passing the narrows, the water calmed a little and the wind died down a bit. Everyone in the RIB was exhausted and soaked, deafened by the thunder overhead and the pounding of the waves on the sides of the RIB. One good thing, it was almost certain no one heard them coming!

Taras and company were an hour behind schedule on approach to the RV point, roughly equivalent to the refinery (opposite the sulfur plant). The hills around them were dark, it was still pitch black out some time before dawn.

In reply to Andrew Montgomery McRae (msg #13):

Early in the morning. Somehow, Nic managed to get a cup of coffee and was the first one in the briefing room. He looked on the map, his finger tips were running along the marching route.
It took a while until his team was present.
Nic waited a moment so that everybody is advertent.

"Good morning lady and gentlemen. Enjoy your coffee, hope you had a good night."

"The mission for today is to conduct a recce mission to a nuke-site in order to find out if there is radiation and the nuke's condition."

"Let's start with our patrol order:

Enemy situation: We have several information about gangs and other doubtful persons and groups but not reported in our area of operation. However, be aware.

Own situation: We have our FOB here, A quarter at the university and a naval QRF"


Nic shows their locations on the maps.

"Task is to go to the nuke-site where our specialist has to conduct his examinations and to provide a safe and secure trip for him. Well Mr. Bezhov, we are your taxi."

"Marching route is here on the map. Copy it to your maps.

"Marching order is BTR at first than LAV."

"Crew and Dismounts as follow:

LAV-III Kodiak (Lima)

Crew:

Major von Stahl  - Lima 6
Sgt. Tremblay (USMC/Heavy Weapons)  Lima 17
Cpl. Lee (LAV Driver/RCMP)  Lima 3

Dismounts:

Master Sniper McRae (Sniper/Commando)  Lima 16
Pvt. MacDonald (Scout/Medic/McRae's partner)  Lima 15
Sgt. Delaney (Infanteer)  Lima 14
Sgt. Fox (Commando)  Lima 18

Contractor Tanase (Driver)  - Alpha 14
Contractor Petrovitch (Gunner) Alpha 3
Contractor PĆ¼tsep (Assistant Commander/Comms)  Alpha 2"

"In case of road blocks, IED and other unfriendly events:

Road obstacles: BTR with shield is the first vehicle. If possible the BTR clears the way. LAV will provide covering fire if needed. If we are faced with an obstacle we should keep in mind that might be an ambush. If we can not clear the road. We have to look for an alternative route.

IED / mine: Depends on situation. Rule no.1: away from the explosion site. Either break through or stop and go backwards. If one vehicle is it and immobilized the second on has to do a so called crash rescue. Grab the guys and then away. Always be aware of an ambush.

Armed roadblock. We are not here to fight battles. Therefor we should avoid every gunfight. If we are hit (e.g. ambush) then it depends on the situation if we break through or evade and try another way.

Contact while dismounted: Avoid firefights. Especially in NBC-suits. Back to the vehicles. LAV and BTR will provide covering fire."

"At least the time schedule:

0400 Hours: Start moving

0545 Hours: ETA, mission specialist Captain Bezhov begins his examinations. Mr Bezhov, you've got maximum 60 minutes.

not later than 0645 Hours: on-site decontamination, approx 30 min.

0715 Hours: march back home

0830 Hours: back at our FOB."


Nic looks into his team's faces.

"Questions?"

Team Link-Up, RV point at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody: 0500 hours

The team performed some final equipment checks, including radios, optics and radiological detectors. Kelsey and Nicolaus were pulled aside for a quick update from Belanger regarding some communications matters.

Actual travel was slowed some by the rough weather but not seriously. The heavy rain degraded the thermal and infra-red optics, and large parts of their route were underwater for up to a metre or more due to inadequate drainage. Fortunately they could easily ford the sections flooded by the clogged storm drains along Lougheed Highway. Many branches and other debris was thrown into their path but overcome with contemptuous ease by the massive APCs.

Finally, both land and water elements a little behind schedule, they all made it safely to the RV point at Rocky Point Park, to the south of Burrard Inlet. Ioco and OIR (Objective Ioco Refinery) was across the water to the northwest. There were no lights anywhere, only the darkness, wind and rain. Passing through the industrial and railroad area of the township of Port Moody, Major von Stahl was amused to see the remnants of Federal German flags flapping from poles outside an Audi dealership and garage.

Of the two linked-up elements, Taras' element was a little more worn-out (wearing bunny suits and life jackets while battling rough water) and had lost a few items of kit on the way over but was ready to proceed. The land element under the Major was likewise ready to proceed on the last bound.

This bound would be from the park where they met up with the RIB Zodiac commanded by Taras, to the refinery itself. Taras would push off and maintain a station in the middle of Burrard Inlet itself, ready to provide direct and indirect fire support from the water.

He pushed his memories away in order to have a clear mind for the mission.

"Taras, welcome!"
he shouted into the storm. "It's time to do the last run, isn't it?"

He took control of the LAV's turret and started to search along the bay and his next marching route.
"All quite on western front." he said into his intercom.

Re: Rad Recce Run Pt. 1

Everyone got suited up, even those in the vehicles. Both APCs had NBC protection due to overpressure, but when the doors were open contamination could still enter.

Nicolaus activated the weapons system and the FLIR targeting system. It was degraded somewhat due to the rain. He scanned along the water's edge, where the road they would be taking in was located. He noted buildings (mostly large private dwellings) and several private docks surrounded by thick woods. There were no thermal signatures along the route in, everything appeared abandoned. (The route out was different and more inland, and this they could not see from across the Inlet.)

He noted something interesting: two of the intact floating wharfs had small fishing boats (motor-equipped) docked there, yet the nearby houses did not show any heat signatures.

Next, he scanned the refinery. It appeared to be cold and dead, no noticeable thermal signatures other than variations of terrain.

Re: Rad Recce Run Pt. 1

Well...I'm happy that everything seems to be quiet, or dead for the most part out there...That freaking nuclear explosion surely scared everybody from coming back. I guess the evacuation...well...Something very similar happened in Pripyat founded to house workers for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.  It was considered nuclear city "атомоград" Atomograd literally Atom City.

A Zone of Alienation was created to isolate the city. The radiation levels came down considerably, compared to accident of 1986, due to the short-lived kind of atoms released during the explosion but I couldn't say a military grade warhead would be much worst or not...


Taras observed how the Major, after scanning the surroundings and reporting via radio, prepared the recce element to move. For the maritime detachment there was no such a rush now. After being one hour behind schedule due to the storm the relative short ride towards the refinery didn't need to be rushed. The crew was already exhausted and decided to take things a little bit easy. While the ground element was preparing to move the ukrainian Sargent decided to take a look at the Old Mill Boathouse. The abandoned building main entrance door was covered by a large sign:



EVACUATION NOTICE

"For the attention of the residents of Port Moody! The City Council informs you that due to the nuclear attack the radioactive conditions in the vicinity are deteriorating. The Government of Canada, its officials and the armed forces are taking necessary steps to combat this. Nevertheless, with the view to keep people as safe and healthy as possible, the children being top priority, we need to temporarily evacuate the citizens in the nearest towns in the Fraser Valley. For these reasons, starting from April 30, 1997 2 p.m. each apartment block will be able to have a bus from Translink at its disposal, supervised by the police and the city officials. It is highly advisable to take your documents, some vital personal belongings and a certain amount of food, just in case, with you. All the houses will be guarded by the police during the evacuation period. Leaving your residences temporarily please make sure you have turned off the lights, electrical equipment and water off and shut the windows. Please keep calm and orderly in the process of this short-term evacuation."

Fox gave a tight smile as he replied to Kelsey.

"You know it, Kel. Less likely we'll run into folks, unless they're really good. Damn rain, can't see a bloody thing even with night optics!"

He dressed quickly in the NBC suit in the back of the Kodiak. The rear ramp was down, there was no way to avoid rain being blown in. His vest and webbing was worn over the suit, ammo stuffed into pouches.

Still in the back of the Kodiak he listened to Major von Stahl's briefing, nodding his understanding there didn't seem to be any heat signatures on their way in. He was in his bunny suit, hood thrown back.

Re: Rad Recce Run Pt. 1

In reply to Robert Duncan Fox (msg #23):

Chris set up the image intensifiers on a concrete barrier, trying to get a better look at the objective. He couldn't see more than Nicolaus had in the LAV, especially as the sight was IR and not thermal.

He put the viewer back in the case, trying to keep rain off the lens and failing. Then he too shrugged into his bunny suit, with armour and webbing over top.

"Good, sounds like no one's waiting for us. One thing about those fishing boats, the owners would live close by. If no one is around, they must have been abandoned recently."

"Man, it sure is ugly out there."

Like the others, he was dressed in his bunny suit. But he remained in the gunner's seat of the LAV, scanning as they were waiting. He was very glad he wasn't going out there in that weather!

Beside and under him in the passenger compartment, Lee nodded in agreement as she also got into her suit. "Yeah, and I'm glad I got the night vision periscope so I don't have to be "head out" for this."

Seth didn't say anything, just looked down at a map spread out on his lap, taking it in. He quickly gotten his bunny suit on like the others. The red lighting in the rear of the LAV made the bruising around his eye look a dark purple-black.
