Operation Overcrank
Mitchell has confirmed that Stone has aligned with Raven's Rock and is preparing Operation Kingmaker, a chemical-weapons and drone strike campaign aimed at the United States. With no meaningful backup coming, the task force must dismantle Raven's Rock leadership node by node, strip their weapons caches, and close in on Stone through a distributed HVT-hunt across Auroa.
Situation
FSB reporting and Mitchell's relay make the threat explicit: Stone has tied Sentinel's remaining power to Russian ultra-nationalist actors inside Raven's Rock. IMINT suggests multiple chemical-weapon stockpiles are already in place and that the network intends to coordinate a large-scale drone strike against the U.S.
Congressional scrutiny has effectively cut off meaningful support, so the burden shifts to direct action. The only workable path is decapitation: remove the specialists and command staff driving the operation, tear out their logistical and weapons backbone, and leave Stone exposed.
Execution
- Phase 1 Open the objective chain through the Episode 3 board and launch the selected mission replay to receive the in-world tasking for that target package.
- Phase 2 Hunt each Raven's Rock specialist in their assigned AO, disrupt their domain expertise at the source, and remove supporting caches or operational nodes tied to that target.
- Phase 3 Collapse the leadership ring from Manticore through Sphinx, then close on Atlas, identified as Stone, to terminate Operation Kingmaker at command level.
Campaign Priority
This is a distributed kill chain, not a single strike. Each target represents a capability pillar inside Raven's Rock, so the value is in dismantling the network in sequence rather than treating the packages as isolated raids.
Known Constraint
Manticore is assessed to wear an S-VEST and must be handled with extreme caution. Other packages are conventional HVT removals, but all of them feed the same Stone end-state.
Terminal Target
Atlas is Stone. HUMINT ties him directly to executions, martial-law enforcement on Auroa, and the command decision to partner with Raven's Rock after Walker's death. He is the final command node and must be stopped.
