While everyone is enjoying their relaxing time and Tal is probably writing an after-mission report, he got a call saying that Foxhound is going to need to be re-deployed by tomorrow for a pressing matter that totally did not concern about the castle Entity 003 is based in.

Payments will have to wait. They said that this is really urgent.

[~Neri]

Tal requires full data before he even considers deploying anybody.

[vkiNm]

It's a small keep-sized Castle. Like the one you found D001A in.

It's being sieged right now by other people that's not Akras, and they're probably going to succeed.

Akras can't have that.

[~Neri]

Have we located their exit gate and do we have a visual?

[vkiNm]

They haven't located the exit gate yet but they're looking now, and they've got visual from an Aegis drone.

Until said drone was shot down by SAM, that is.

[~Neri]

Why was the drone not built from Beryl to prevent radar detection and prolong flight times like any normal spydrone? Who designed that piece of shit? Also why was it flying low enough for the SAM to hit? Missiles have a finite amount of fuel and have a heavy payload.

Hell. You know what? Strap a few bombs to a few Romes and bomb them. They can't really do jack shit against computer guided smartbombs once they're in flight. Even if there's an anti ballistic system, they can reorient back oncourse on account of being smartbombs. Trash their vehicles and heavy weapons emplacements. If they cannot drive out and their vehicle mounted radio nodes are trashed, then we have as long as we please to mop up.

[vkiNm]

The drone does have Stealth. It was dipping a little low just to make sure what it's seeing is correct.

Unfortunately what they're seeing are some serious full-time modern military hardware. Kamikaze drones sounds like a good idea, but it might not be enough to take out those modern military-grade vehicles.. Or their AA might just take down the drone first.

Seriously, there's someone out there with equipment at least on par with Akras and they're going to take an Artifact. And if Akras wants to stay in the lead, they've got to ensure things like that doesn't happen.

If they can launch a guided missile at the guys they totally would, but Akras doesn't actually have those fancy guided cruise missiles. And setting up Artillery strike would take too long and the target is probably too mobile for it anyway.

So they've come to a conclusion of 'Throw Foxhound at it and hope it goes away.'

[~Neri]

If the hardware stated is factual. It would be not only stupid to throw Foxhound at it, but insane. Strap the bombs on the drones. Fly way the fuck high up out of SAM range. Drop the smartbombs. Those things are built with gyrojets for a reason. They were a thing in the 21's century and they're a thing now. They can literally self target. We don't need to destroy the vehicles, just render them inoperable and destroy the weapons and radio. Induce casualties among their personal. Hell. Toss in a few knockout chem mixes in the form of gasbombs. Those things don't violate any treaties and they should keep anyone stupid enough to not have a mask on out for more then long enough to drop several more of the buggers. Arkas doesn't need guided missiles. It needs self targeted bombs. Cruise missiles are expensive. Bombs less so.

[vkiNm]

That.. actually sounds like a great idea.

They're having Techies strap some smartbombs on a bunch of ROME drones right now.

They still want you to go wipe out the survivors and take the Artifact, though. Since the keep is being soften down already, it should be a breeze.

[~Neri]

Ideally the chaos caused by the bombings will let the Keep's Dwellers and Denizen to get the upper hand. And the noise might wake the Denizen.

[vkiNm]

That's all fine and dandy on stopping them from getting the Artifact, but how would that help Akras get the Artifact instead?

[~Neri]

Because it would deal with both problems in one go. We'd know exactly what the Denizen is. The Castle would be out of cards barring an Entity of some kind and we'd only have to deal with the depleted force of Dwellers and injured Denizen in the corporeal realm. At the same time it would terminate the main threat of the opposing corporate personal.

[vkiNm]

After much consideration, the Company decides that Foxhound can have their rest. They're going to go with Tal's plan and hopefully things will go along just fine. Fine enough to let another Gate team handle it.

[~Neri]

At the minimum it'll cripple both targets and potentially invoke a retreat on the opposing Gateteam's side.

[vkiNm]

The company Thanks Tal for his advisory services and says that they'll throw in a little bonus in the team's paycheck as appreciations.
