Nicholas Temper whistles a bird call, apparently to get attention, and then holds up an odd grenade and mimes tossing it at the landing. The grenade is recognizable as an old flash bang.

Paragon made a give it to me motion. When/if he tossed it, she would catch it and throw it up onto the landing. She would then lead/follow the others up to handle things silently.

Watching the actions of Temper and Paragon, Spymaster gives them a nod and prepares. Peeking around the corner, he finds the eyes of one of the soldiers on his side. Implementing a skill he learned from one of his lesser known teachers, Spymaster makes it so he doesn't have to worry about that soldier. Despite having met Spymaster's gaze, the soldier in question acts as if he sees nothing.

With the exception of a ninja sword, Senor Garcia looks like a ‘ninja’ in the three-decade old tactical/stealth suit used by US Government operatives. Of course, the suit has a number of modern-day items such as a tourniquet, and molle pouches for the carrying ammo. In his current setup, he is carrying a Magpul PDR chambered in5.56x45mm NATO and slung across his back is a Mk20 SSR Sniper/Battle Rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm in the event somebody or something has to be dealt with at long range.

With his suppressed Magpul PDR in hand, Senor Garcia readies himself to enter the room after the flash bang goes off and neutralize (i.e. kill) one or more of the four men in the adjoining room. From the conversation and like the previously pair of guards neutralized guards in the room may not actually be Chinilayan military.

Unforntunelty, at this point the task was to remain un detected, and if that meant killing some unfortunate guard who was in the wrong place at the wrong time so be it. It wasn’t that Senor Garcia liked killing people, it was just something that had to be done to accomplish the mission.

Paragon tossed the flashbang and followed the boys. She will focus on Senior, and give him some of her luck.

Giving luck bonuses to Garcia

Unwilling to be left behind, Nicholas darts forward with his rifle ready.

The flash-bang does its work, catching all six soldiers in its blast. The soldiers begin to yell and grab at their eyes, dropping their weapons.

One the flashbang goes off, Senor Garcia rushes up the stairs, his Magpul PDR-D
raised and ready to fire. Upon getting to the door, he peels left (hoping the person behind him peels right, and the third person enters to the center) as he begins to rapidly fire two rounds (i.e. double taps) center mass into each of the four well apparently six soldiers present.

Although suppressed the bullpup rifle’s shots still emit a loud crack which is even more accentuated due to firing indoors.

Spymaster flips his bo from his back and calmly walks through the other two guards while the stick spun silently except for two sound thwacks as the tips of the bo struck the junctures of neck and shoulder on both guards.

As Señor Garcia and Spymaster eliminate the squad Nicholas Temper smacks the guy shouting orders with the butt of the veteran's rifle. "Right", he says, "you wouldn't be with the spandex set if you weren't at the top of your own profession. These guys didn't stand a chance."

As the shouting fool is silenced, a moment passes and then the noises of the surrounding rain forest reassert themselves. All opposition is gone.

Bringing up the rear, Alison grinned, "Bit of luck never hurts neither. Come on boys, we still got a job to finish." She moved to lead them into the house, trusting her luck to keep them alive.

Senor García looks at Spymaster and Nicholas Temper “Make the tangos you took out are secured so they don’t raise any alarms when they wake up.”  He then looked over the weapons of the men he had killed, and those who were lucky enough to had just been knocked out, determining if they had rifles and pistols or just one or the other. With each weapon he removed the bolt and placed in a drop pouch located on his gun belt. He also checked to see what kind of comms they had (radio, cell phone, landline etc).

The guards were taken down on the deck (concrete overlaid with redwood) without ever getting a chance to fire their M14's. Nicholas Temper quickly zipties those still breathing. There was some patio furniture on the deck, but it has been tossed to the right of the stairway and lies in a small pile.
The living/recreation room, inside the door, has modern furniture in silvered metal and black.Throw pillows and large cushions litter the floor. There is also a pool table, a wet bar, and a projection screen. The entrance is lower than the rest of the living room, and there is a step up at the dashed line.
There is a framed picture of Chinilayan Presidernt Carlos Calvione being inaugurated on the wall. Attached to the screen on the wall is a sophisticated signal descrambling unit.

Paragon will go over and have a look at the scrambler.

"I believe what you have there is a high-speed signal decoder with rotating keys. They're usually used for hard-wired communications between permanent installations. It's probably for military transmissions between the president and the nearest base installation."

Paragon said, "Okay. Anything you guys want to look at or do we move on?"

Nick Temper looks confused, pointing to Spymaster and Señor Garcia he says, "Huh. I just got a text from Flagg. He says to tell you guys Major Harris is at the electrostatic cannon. That can't be Oliver Harris, I thought they kicked him a long time ago."

Spymaster raises his eyebrows, then turns to Señor Garcia and says, "you should go. We both know he's on the list."

As Senior Garcia pulled 4 of the 20 round M-14 magazines from the dead bodies he had shot and deposited them in his drop pouch he responded to Paragon. "See what you can get without compromising our position, anybody using seven point six-two NATO should grab a few of these M-14 mags as reloads." Although the M-14 magazines were not compatible with his Mk 20 SSR Battle/Sniper Rifle, the ammunition carried within them was.



Seeing that one of the men he had shot still had life in him, Senor Garcia drew his knife and plunged it in the man's heart. Better to give the man a quick death then dying slowing from a mortal wound, he responded to Nick. "Our comms may have been compromised, don't respond."

Senor Garcia contemplated what Spymaster says. "It's a dammed if we do and a dammed if we don't situation. If we respond on comms, we give away our existence. If we send two people that direction to warn the others verbally it could reduce our ability to accomplish our mission."

Temper nods at Señor Garcia, and retrieves a few magazines.

Paragon picked up a spare mag, but since she hadn't fired yet only one. "If it's my call, you stay. We came here for a reason, the others can handle whatever gets thrown at them."

"I agree, let's go accomplish our mission."

With a nod and uncharacteristically genuine grin, Spymaster says ”good. Don’t need any more lies between me and the kids, memory isn’t what it used to be.”

Upon hearing something over the radio, Senor Garcia responds.

“Flying the nuke straight up into the air won’t help when or if it goes off. If you’re going to try and move it away take it out to sea and drop it into the ocean .”

Before saying the last part of his radio transmission he looks to the others, it wouldn’t matter if they were a mile away or right next to the bomb if it went off.

“Or bring it to me. I can probably disarm it.”
