Mission Prep
On the outskirts of Innsbrook, Ohio, a decayed industrial town of about 3,000 citizens, stood a brick two-story building that once served as the storage for a nearby factory that had since long closed. Now the building was empty, which means it was easy to occupy by the nine individuals who had all arrived by various means; some flew, some bused, some were close enough to bike or walk, one particular individual swam through a nearby lake to get here. Regardless of their transportation, they had come for the same reason. They stood for a few minutes in an awkward, heavy silence in a barren room that once contained mountains of machine goods, now empty save for a single Transceiver in the center of the room, and a single large wooden crate beneath it. After what seemed like hours, the Transceiver picked up a signal:
"...-esting. Testing. Can you guys here me? Good. I'm sure you've all heard that this is where the first mission of the Syndicate Taskforce will be stationed. Please check to make sure that if someone has come here for some other purpose, they are to be shot immediately. Just kidding, but really, this has to stay quiet. No sense in being an Elite Secret Taskforce if everyone knows where to find you. Now, a lot of us back home in England are still debating whether this Taskforce is a good idea or not, so it's up to you lot to prove it. My name is Trent, I'll be your Operator for your first mission.
Since this is assignment number one, we went with something straightforward that you all should be able to handle, in theory anyways. You've come to Innsbrook because one of our associates in Ohio has run into problems with a local family gang, a set of inbreds meth dealers locally referred to as the Hamper Brothers, that being their last name. Their meth trade is disrupting business with our associate, who has lost a lot of money and contacts due to the Hamper's interference, not to mention fighting which has killed off several of our associate's best bodyguards.
The Hamper Brothers all hang around at their base of operation, a farm a couple miles east of town, I believe one of you has been supplied with a map for directions and you'll find additional maps in the Supply Crate. The farm has three fields, a two-story house with a basement (where we suspect their meth is being made), a shed and a barn. There's a hill overlooking the whole place from the Northwest. We suspect there to be between 18 and 25 Brothers there total, all of them real hicks, it doesn't seem like a single one finished High School. They seem to spend all day either fucking around inside and around the base, or working on their product and distributing it through a few pick-up trucks they keep on sight, so intelligence we've received suggests that big paying customers will sometimes come directly to the farm. There's no strict hierarchy, but two brothers are of particular notice, Billy-Carl and Samuel, the former handling most of the business when customers come and go, the latter appears to be keeping the whole place going, making sure everyone is at their proper stations and prepared for trouble. Billy-Carl has long, dirty-blonde hair and an elongated jaw, while Samuel is often seen with a jacket sporting skeletons and the Confederate flag on both sides. Each Brother is carrying a Handgun or Machine Pistol, we've got some pictures of a few of them carrying Shotguns and the occasional Hunting Rifle or Assault Rifle.
Your task will be to destroy their meth operation, whether this means destroying their meth lab equipment, burning the farm down or killing them off is up to you all, though we'd like to see the least amount of causalities and collateral on our side as possible. You can check the crate for the equipment we've been able to supply you, anything else you'll have to get on your own. There's barely any police in Innsbrook, so they're way to scared to take on the Hampers alone. Still, they wouldn't mind seeing a the methheads getting blasted, so they probably won't intervene even if there's a huge firefight going down. Still, try not to get you and your teammates killed.
