This
Mission Report comes from the Cenotaph stream
campaign.
BRIEFING: Two
large transport vehicles are heading from Journey City to Fort
Jovanol. They need to be redirected to Hulinton. The Heard are
providing security with a single AWV, a coyote artillery
mech.
EMPLOYER: The
Breath of Faith (Tier 3S), represented by Casil Kim, doesn't know
the contents of the transports, but have received intel that they
are important.
TARGET: The
Heard (Tier 3w)
OBJECTIVE:
Retrieve both large transports.
ROE: NO
employing force against civilians; NO firing upon or presenting as
a clearly marked medical transport or facility;
COMPLICATION:
An AI with a grudge against The Breath fed them intel that these
transports should be rerouted to Hulinton, when in fact the
transports have a band (Point Defence Cannon aka PDC), their
support staff, and their concert gear. The reason for this is to
arrange a meeting between between Lady Elreth (a fan of PDC who
will go to Hulinton, but not Fort Jovanol for a show), Bishop
Finmal (who is curious about the concert in Hulinton), and the Dark
Room (who are already embedded with PDC).
There are Dark Room operatives
among the roadies and they may interfere; The Heard may send air
units to check on the transports; The Heard may request
reinforcements; both transports are too large for an AWV to carry
(one carries the band and staff, the other carries concert gear);
manager is trying to get a cut for this; Alice Foundation may
appear, she pilots a Lion custom the “Savannah
Sovereign”.

- 4 PDC

Foundation: (she/her, mid 20s, white, buzzed blonde hair, slim
muscular build, fierce but tired face) Agent of The Heard. Pilots
the Savannah Sovereign, a Lion custom modified from a heavy
artillery AWV into a close quarters jousting mech. An excellent
pilot.

CHALLENGES:
- The initial Heard escort,
Cleanser Yeofeld.
- The Dark Room operatives want
PDC to go to Fort Jovanol so they can infiltrate that
base.
- Moving the transports is
difficult because they are so heavy, OR they can be driven, which
has its own issues.
- Alice Foundation and/or other
Heard reinforcements may arrive.
- The band and their gear, each
in a separate transport, must survive the trip to
Hulinton.
