Tasking
FIVE SEALS ARE IN THE WATER OFF RESHADAT — TWO RIGS RUN THE NETWORK’S GULF MONEY. GRID ONE: SHIELD THE SWIM — PATROL BOATS HUNT ANYTHING ON THE SURFACE, AND THE SWIMMERS CANNOT SHOOT BACK. GRIDS TWO AND THREE: THEY HOLD OFF EACH RIG, TWO MEN GO OVER THE RAIL — WHEN THEY ARE OUT AND CLEAR, THE RIG READS HOT AND YOU BURN IT.
Rules of engagement
- AT LEAST TWO SWIMMERS COME HOME — OR NOBODY DOES
- HOLD FIRE ON A RIG UNTIL IT READS HOT
- BOATS ARE THE ONLY GUN OUT THERE — KILL THEM FIRST
