Operation Gator

QRF NOX will launch from Erewhon HQ to stop a Sentinel cell known as the Vanguard before it can release anthrax into the Diamond River water system at dawn. The package must secure the river infrastructure, confirm the distribution line remains uncontaminated, seize the anthrax production lab, and capture the Vanguard leader for return to HQ.

Briefing Site
Erewhon HQ at 2044 hours
Area of Operations
Fen Bog and the Diamond River corridor
Insertion Method
Little Bird insertion southeast of Alpha before foot movement
Required Kit
CBRN loadout with gas masks for volatile anthrax exposure risk

A renegade Sentinel terrorist cell referred to in intercepted communications as the Vanguard has seized critical infrastructure along the Diamond River, East Auroa's main drinking-water source. SIGINT indicates the cell intends to dump anthrax into the distribution system at dawn, creating a mass-casualty event for civilians and a severe ecological incident across the region.

Current ISR also places the Vanguard's leader at the anthrax-producing laboratory. The mission therefore combines immediate water-security action with a targeted HVT capture before the network can disperse or trigger contamination.

QRF NOX deploys at 2100 aboard a Little Bird and lands southeast of Alpha, then patrols on foot through the target chain. The first two sites verify that the river infrastructure remains clean while removing Sentinel support material. The third phase collapses the lab and captures the HVT, and the final phase shifts to HLZ Saladin for extraction.

  • Phase 1Secure Bluecorp Startup, destroy the weapons cache, and collect a water sample to confirm no contamination occurred.
  • Phase 2Repeat the same containment and sampling process at Andersons Farm.
  • Phase 3Hit Hogweed Station, secure the anthrax lab, capture the Vanguard leader, and call TITAN to dismantle the facility.
  • Phase 4Move to HLZ Saladin, radio the Little Bird pilot, and extract the HVT back to Erewhon HQ.

Anthrax exposure is the defining mission hazard. Gas masks and CBRN discipline are mandatory anywhere near the lab, storage materials, or contaminated infrastructure indicators.

Bluecorp Startup and Andersons Farm both need physical security plus on-site water sampling so command can confirm the distribution system was not compromised before dawn.

The operation is complete only when the infrastructure is verified clean, the anthrax lab is turned over to TITAN, and the Vanguard leader is in custody for extraction.

Alpha

Bluecorp Startup

Secure the site, destroy the weapons cache, and gather a water sample to confirm no contamination has already entered the Diamond River system through this node.

Bravo

Andersons Farm

Clear the farm complex, remove the weapons cache, and collect a second water sample to validate that the broader river-distribution line remains uncontaminated.

Charlie

Hogweed Station

Secure the anthrax lab, apprehend the Vanguard leader, and radio secondary CBRN team TITAN to dismantle the site once the objective area is under control.

Delta

HLZ Saladin

Move to the extraction zone, call in the Little Bird pilot, and return with the HVT to Erewhon HQ once the contamination threat is neutralized.
