OOC ThreadIt has been approximately one hour since the government assembled your infiltration team. You've arrived in the forest outside "Alpha Omega"'s bunker in the Pacific Northwest. GPS photographs have shown that the bunker has thick concrete walls surrounding a small complex of three buildings. Your job is to enter the complex without being seen, rescue the hostages held captive there, find and take any bioweaponry they may possess, and get out. As this is a top-secret black op, you can't expect any official support. Most of your equipment is to be gained via on-site procurement.
Each of you have been equipped with the following:
Standard urban-patterned fatigues: 3 pounds. Tough and relatively comfortable. Provide a +2 bonus to Hide checks in urban environments.
Standard range pack: 2 pounds. Lightweight backpack, also with an urban camouflage pattern. Provides space for 12 pounds of equipment.
Electro-optical binoculars: 4 pounds. Military-grade binoculars with rangefinding and night-vision capabilities.
Professional-grade walkie-talkie: 1 pound. Walkie-talkie with a 15-mile range that can contact any of hundreds of radio channels. Allows you to contact your support team.
Knife: 1 pound. Military-grade survival knife. 1d4 damage, 19-20 critical hit range.
Your support team is operating from the nearest military base. They consist of the following officers.
Colonel Naomi Takara: Your CO. A second-generation Asian-American woman who became a legend among military officers for expertly handling several precarious situations in the Middle East. Known for being somewhat smug.
Valga Snienowski: A data specialist who hails from England. Relatively new, but said to have a promising career ahead of her. She's the one who located the base by tracing the signal of the videos sent to the White House.
Major Tadeu de Santiago: A survival expert from Brazil. He coached special-forces troops for ten years at one of the U.S. Army's most famous boot camps. Purportedly has a very over-the-top personality.
Sepi Partanen: Weapons expert of Scandinavian descent. He retired from a weapon design lab six years ago, but voluntarily came to help on this mission. Has a great interest in sports and athleticism.
You are in a redwood forest in the dead of night. The compound is apparently a short walk to the northeast, but you cannot see it yet.
