FYI, Biggin Hill is a small airfield in the South-East of London. I chose it as location because it looks small enough on the photos that we could probably seal it off without major trouble for the time we need it.

Of course, that's subject to edit from Dave, but I think it should work.

Gatac

Nah, sounds good to me. Gatty, could you send me a link with the Biggin Hill info?

Call the Agency to report in, then start opening up those "bait" crates.

Point of clarification. The truck you guys assaulted was -not- the "bait" truck. That truck is (presumably) still parked a block down the street at McLaren's shop.

The back of the truck is opened up as clerks begin to unload crates of various shape and size, most having words like Live Bait and with the occasional rod and reel thrown in for good measure.

Artis goes for a pee behind the van and in mid-stream he notices another truck approaching the neighborhood. Instead of pulling up to McLaren's shop, it stops a block down the street (directly across from the Agency van). The only difference between the two vehicles is that the driver and passenger in the previous truck weren't armed with submachineguns slung over their shoulders. These guys are.

Well, shit. Let's go assault the bait truck, then. :)

I'd like to request a "here's what you see" sort of update.
threadbare 2003-12-03 00:16:08
um, perhaps that could include a cursory sweep of the truck before we assualt the bait truck, too.

Jess will the lead agent for this operation. How do you want to set things up?

Here is what you have at your disposal:

-Brian
-Two "Red Shirt" agents. (Figure these guys/gals as 1st or 2nd level)
-One Blackhawk w/ 3-man crew. Armament TBA
-Two unmarked Land Rovers
Gatac 2003-12-03 21:01:40
Can I get one of the Landrovers completely drained of fuel ? (As in, no danger of explosion from internal fuel.) If yes, I'm keeping it near for cover. If no, well, we have something to ram Catesby's vehicle with.

Blackhawk on hot standby somewhere visually hidden - I'd say behind a few large cargo containers, since they happen to stand around in just about any convenient location. (Hapaq-Lloyd - Yes, we're bulletproof !) As soon as the shit hits the fan, start the baby.

I'd also say that this where we use the redshirts - they're not good for much besides suppresive fire anyway. Alternatively, we might want to keep them with the containers so they can do that from the ground.

Jess will be near something bulletproof. Either that Landrover, or also near the containers.

I'm not sure what to do with that second Landrover, so I'll leave it at that. Maybe have one of the redshirts drive it, with Brian riding shotgun in the backseat for mobile firepower ?

If you're just using them for cover, there are plenty of nearby buildings for that purpose. The Rovers are meant for transportation.

How will Jess be dressed for the occasion. You can assume that you'd have a kevlar vest at your disposal.

Oh, I forgot to mention Samantha's private jet (with 2 crewmen) which will be on a nearby runway.
Gatac 2003-12-03 21:21:49
I think I'm taking my Versace BDUs without the coat, and a shoulder holster for the MP7. We ARE talking business here.

We should have that jet start as soon as Catesby arrives and get her from behind while she's busy cussing :)

Any of these plans sound fine to me...and if that rifle isn't better, add a claymore to the shopping list...could make things more interesting.
Gatac 2003-12-04 15:49:44
Yeah...play more, with Claymore...

Anything else, or can we start now ?

Gatac
Gatac 2003-12-04 16:05:29
I'll leave her to the beaver - er, I mean, Ivan, they're yours. have fun.

What happened to chapters 6 to 8 ?

Gatac

Huh? What? Looks fine to me. ;)

Bad Gatty, no cookie.
Gatac 2003-12-04 22:37:51
A missile attack...wow, I must've really pissed Catesby off.

Dang, I should have read this post first.

The bogeys are in-flight, whether or not they're missles is anyone's guess. I'll have Brian clarify for you.
Gatac 2003-12-04 22:49:40
Are you trying to tell me that the IRA has honest-to-goodness planes (three no less) to send after us ? Woah. Trippy.

Gatac
Dieter 2003-12-04 22:54:04
Choppers...not planes. Much cheaper.

Remember how this mission started? :)
Gatac 2003-12-04 23:03:13
Wah...

Well, atleast it's not a Russian Typhoon submarine...that would've been a problem.
