Operation Wandering Wraith
Fireteam HAMMER will hit a four-part emergency chain inside Restricted Area 01: investigate Project Titan UGV activity at the Gold Trail Testing Zone, capture HVT RAIDER at Nugget Cliff, retake Jace Skell Dam before more executions occur, and finish by destroying the enemy quick-reaction force at the Auroa Solar Power Plant while protecting trapped civilians.
Situation
ONYX reconnaissance triggered contact near the Gold Trail Testing Zone while investigating suspected Project Titan UGV trials. Their drone confirmed lethal unmanned patrols before it was shot down, raising the possibility that Skell employees or civilians are trapped inside the warehouse complex.
At the same time, RAIDER has surfaced at Nugget Cliff mine, where he is wanted for questioning over the recent Auroa Parliament attack, and a rogue Sentinel cell has seized Jace Skell Dam after executing four engineers on camera. They have threatened more killings by 0900, which turns the dam into a no-delay crisis objective.
Execution
- Insert Launch from South Cape Station by Overseer and stage at the Skell Technology Location LZ near the testing zone.
- Alpha / Bravo Move on foot to neutralize the Gold Trail UGV threat, rescue survivors, then capture RAIDER at Nugget Cliff and hand him to Bravo Team back at the LZ.
- Charlie Board the helicopter from the LZ and move fast to Jace Skell Dam to halt further executions and secure the site.
- Delta Push into the Auroa Solar Power Plant, eliminate the enemy QRF, assist civilians, and end the operation inside the plant for debrief.
Priority Intel
The testing zone is expected to contain lethal UGVs, not just infantry. If the warehouse doors trap the team inside, the field note is to hack the laptop to reopen them rather than treating it as a dead end.
RAIDER can be represented by any enemy at the mine, but custody transfer still matters to the mission narrative. After the handoff at the LZ, HAMMER must use the helicopter jump to compress the response time on the dam before the terrorist deadline overtakes the operation.
Mission End State
The Gold Trail UGV test sector is cleared, survivors are recovered, RAIDER is transferred alive for questioning, the dam hostage crisis is broken before additional executions occur, and the solar plant QRF is destroyed with civilians stabilized and the debrief conducted on site.
Gold Trail Testing Zone
Destroy every lethal drone in the test sector, investigate the warehouse, and recover any trapped Skell staff or civilians before the site is abandoned.
Nugget Cliff Mine
Capture RAIDER alive, bring him back to the Skell Technology Location LZ, roleplay the handoff to Bravo Team, and prepare for immediate lift-out.
Jace Skell Dam
Retake the dam, stop the terrorist cell from carrying out additional engineer executions, and restore control of the site before the ultimatum expires.
Auroa Solar Power Plant
Neutralize the QRF element holding the plant, help trapped civilians, and finish the mission inside the complex for the final debrief.
