Operation Red Dawn

A Sentinel cell led by The Butcher has seized the Oceanic Power Plant on Petrel Island and is preparing an attack against Outcast leadership. The team will infiltrate by sea, capture the HVT at the plant, then use his retinal ID to access the Whalers Bay workshop and find or neutralize the bomb before it can be launched.

Launch
Rally Point Leviathan with watercraft insertion
Approach
Sea infil to Alpha, then pipeline advance into the compound
Primary Action
Capture The Butcher and stop the bombing plot at Whalers Bay
Finish
Bomb neutralized and full RTB to HQ after site security

Situation

At 0600 UTC, a Sentinel terrorist cell led by The Butcher seized the Oceanic Power Plant on Petrel Island. Current intelligence ties the takeover to a broader plot targeting Outcast Leader Haruhi Ito and a bombing against Outcast Headquarters.

The ground truth still has to be confirmed on-site. The Butcher is the key to the next layer of the operation: his detention provides both intelligence on the attack plan and the retinal access required to open the workshop at Whalers Bay Airfield.

Execution

  • Phase 1 Secure a watercraft near Leviathan Island Bivouac, move by sea toward Alpha, and infiltrate the power-plant compound by following the pipeline into the target area.
  • Phase 2 Secure the HVT and the site, then use the on-site helicopter to move The Butcher to Whalers Bay Airfield for the second half of the operation.
  • Phase 3 Open the workshop with retinal ID, locate the explosive device, and either conduct on-site EOD if it is still unarmed or move the aircraft out to sea if the bomb is already mounted and live.

Bomb Logic

If the device is inside the workshop and not yet armed, EOD can handle it on-site. If the workshop is clear and the bomb is mounted on an aircraft, it is treated as already armed and must be flown out and neutralized at sea.

HVT Note

The game does not always spawn a commander near the construction site. If needed, any enemy around that area can be roleplayed as The Butcher for the capture and retinal-ID sequence.

Mission End State

The Butcher is secured, the Whalers Bay access chain is exploited, the bomb is identified and safely neutralized, and the team returns to HQ with the threat fully shut down.

Objectives

Alpha

Oceanic Power Plant

Reach the site from the sea, infiltrate along the pipeline, secure the compound, and capture The Butcher near the construction area before lifting out by helicopter.

Bravo

Whalers Bay Airfield

Use the HVT's retinal ID to open the workshop, search for the bomb, then clear the airstrip and aircraft if the device has already been moved.
