Ground Branch Task Force

OPERATION: HORSEMAN SITUATION: At 2016 hours, a distress call was transmitted to Erewhon reporting the abduction of JONATHAN MAYNE from ALPHA CENTAURI RESIDENCES in northwest INFINITY. A Sentinel squad was deployed to the residences, employing aggressive interrogation techniques and conducting a search for the engineer at gunpoint. HUMINT indicates that Mayne is in imminent danger of being coerced into working for the Wolves unit. Given Mayne's possession of sensitive information, he is classified as a VIP, requiring the immediate deployment of a Quick Reaction Force (QRF). MISSION: Find out what happened and secure the VIP if possible. CONCEPT OF OPERATION: The team will urgently deploy from Erewhon after 2020 hours and land at the designated LZ. We will then proceed to secure the residential area, searching for clues regarding Mayne's whereabouts. Any additional Targets of Opportunity are authorized. VIP PROFILE: Jonathan Mayne is a skilled ML Engineer at Skell Technology, specializing in developing algorithms for lethal drones. With expertise in machine learning, his role at Skell Tech revolves around refining the code that guides the decision-making of the lethal drone systems. Holding ST-1 clearance, Mayne plays a vital role in ensuring the security and confidentiality of the advanced technologies he works on. The enemy cannot get into this man's head, we need to locate him ASAP. (edited)

At SKELL SECURITY, in the SKELL TRANSPORT building offices, Mayne is nowhere to be found. You find a note on his calendar about a meeting with a Skell Tech specialist taking place at CONTROL STATION VIPER 04 up north.

At CONTROL STATION VIPER 04 interrogate ANY enemy asking him about Mayne's whereabouts. He tells you that Wolves took him and another scientist to OUTPOST GREEN VIPER awaiting transfer.

At OUTPOST GREEN VIPER, secure the area, look for any actionable Intel and free the prisoners
