Operation Triad
Deploy from Whiteman Shelf Bivouac to Muddy Pond LZ, patrol the Driftwood Islets beacon sites, recover three sealed Skell briefcases before Sentinel or Wolves reach them, document the crash containers, and hand the cases back to Skell at Erewhon HQ.
Situation
Radar Station North now gives visibility over north-eastern Auroa air traffic. At 20:15 a Skell Transport cargo aircraft was shot down by drone swarms over Driftwood Islets, after which three beacons began transmitting secure Skell-net coordinates from the crash zone.
Jace Skell confirms the signals are from three sealed briefcases carrying critical data. They are still transmitting their location, but Sentinel and Wolves may converge on the crash sites first if recovery lags.
Execution
Move from Muddy Pond LZ to each beacon, secure the briefcase, document the scattered container contents, upload findings to HQ, and call GRIFFIN, HUNTER, or SCALAR to recover supplies once each site is cleared.
- Muddy PondLand and begin the islet patrol toward all three beacon locations.
- Crash SitesRecover the sealed briefcases, document the containers, and transmit all intel to HQ.
- Erewhon HQRTB with the cases and hand them directly to Skell for exploitation.
AO Activity
Drones, Azrael coverage, and helicopter patrols should remain active. CYCLOPS has already reported patrol movement and multiple drone deployments across the islets.
Targets Of Opportunity
Neutralize TOO encountered along the patrol route as long as it does not compromise the briefcase recovery or delay the handoff chain.
Package PID
The desired item is a sealed black secure briefcase matching the reference image. Do not break seals in the field unless survival or transport security requires it.
Muddy Pond LZ
Insert at Muddy Pond and organize the patrol toward all three transmitting case locations.
Beacon Recovery Sites
Recover each sealed briefcase, confirm the crash containers, and call standby recovery teams after every site is secure.
Driftwood Islets Security
Clear hostile patrols and drone-supported positions as needed to protect the route and prevent interference with package extraction.
Erewhon HQ Delivery
Return all recovered briefcases to Erewhon and deliver them to Skell intact.
