[center][h1]Day [color=ed1c24]1[/color][/h1] [/center] The High Table. A powerful, shadowy council that stood at the heart of the underworld throughout the globe, consisting of 12 members, each representing a major crime faction; the Yakuza, the Sicillian mafia, Mexican cartels, the Triads, Russian mafia, warlords of the Carribean... Not every underworld faction has a seat here, and not every needs one to participate in this society, but a seat at this table grants unimaginable influence and power. One could topple nations and move capital at a single call, influence and control world leaders with only a tiny thinly veiled threat, or on the other hand, endorse something to which they support, and ensure it's success. Of course, the power of the High Table is highly guarded, just as much as it is coveted, and so members who already have their seat, jealously hold onto it, passing the position down only to their most trusted of successors. It isn't at all rare for succession to be upturned by a more power hungry candidate when the time comes to pass it, but for a seat to remain open with no successor? Such a thing is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The news spread like wildfire among the underworld, and as hard as the Geverran family tried to hide it, their head and High Table member, Ariani Geverran, had died, leaving no named successor to the disdain of the family's leading members. The spies of major factions all over had already begun to inform their leaders of this news, and just as quickly these factions began to act to it. Eliminating their immediate rivals and acquiring their influence as quickly as possible, to afford them the best chance to be picked for their position on the High Table. For those who were not in the know, it was perhaps a sudden and fatal shock that they were killed by a powerful rival, or a surprise that they be deployed as soon as possible with little warning for fanfare. But, the opportunity to take this to a fight when political maneuvering was so common today was the excitement many of these underworld types craved. [hr] However those who craved that high power within the underworld were already on the move, barely an hour from hearing the news, drastic moves were already being taken. The [color=8493ca][i]Vellum Society[/i][/color] who specialize in information were naturally the first to make a move, where outright assassination was a second option, they have moved it to the first if it puts them closer to being chosen. The [color=ed1c24][i]Gunners 606[/i][/color] who are a relatively new contender in the underworld have quickly made themselves a name as a highly efficient and small group of special ops, a skillset that was rare even among assassins and hitmen. Recently separating from the Triad, the [color=a187be][i]Xuanlong Group[/i][/color] having taken control of South Korea seeks to further their influence, their sudden meteoric rise and defiance of the Triad they had come from making them very popular among the new blood of the underworld. Then, there is the [color=f7976a][i]Gensai Clan[/i][/color], a Yakuza group older than the Yamagawas, and almost as powerful, see this as an opportunity to be able to stand toe to toe with them in more than just their numbers. [i][center][color=ed1c24]The agents of these groups have already been deployed, and their deadly work is about to begin.[/color][/center][/i] [hr] [h3][i]Nickel Harry[/i][/h3] [hider] [b]Mission[/b]: Assault the Warlord's Mansion [b]Objective[/b]: Steal Convoy, kill Ali Salim [indent][i][color=a2d39c]"This warlord has his hands on some hardware we want. On top of the stockpile of weapons, he's also got state of the art artillery, explosives, and some experimental AI drones. They'll only be at his cosy little mansion for a couple more hours, 644's got his eye on the situation and got word that a convoy's on their way, so we're going to strike them fast and hard. Once we have control of their weapons, we'll ambush them, and take their convoy to transport ourselves our prize."[/color][/i][/indent] [indent][indent][i][color=a2d39c]- Number 661[/color][/i][/indent][/indent] [b]Map[/b]: The mansion is a walled estate surrounded by stone and concrete walls with barbed wire, armed patrols, and watch towers. Roughly 4 towers with 2 posts at the front gate. The mansion itself has three floors, a two-floor basement, and a hangar bay in the back for vehicles, actually for the warlord's car collection, but there are some military vehicles there too. The stockpile you're looking for is in the basement, and currently being taken to the hangar to be put onto the incoming convoy. The warlord himself most likely will be in his office on the third floor. [b]Resistance[/b]: You'll be facing heavily armed men wearing light to medium kevlar. They will have rifles, automatics, grenades, and just about every soldier will have a sidearm, knife, and grenades on them. There is no space for vehicles to drive around in any major capacity, but there are machine gun jeeps as well. [list][*]Boons: You can have a full loadout of equipment, and can go loud right away [*]Limitations: None. You will also have command over 3 other squad members, 635 (rifleman), 636 (sniper), and 639 (rifleman). 644 will be available in the ambush, armed with small arms and plastic explosives. 635 will also be carrying an RPG with 2 rockets.[/list] [/hider] [h3][i]Han Hee-Song[/i][/h3] [hider] [b]Mission[/b]: Eliminate the White Snakes [b]Objective:[/b] Wipe them out. Kill Lee Hae-hyun [indent][color=7ea7d8][i]"A colour gang and the largest of them all still operates here in Seoul. The White Snakes operate out of a night club downtown called the Heavenly Crest. They've recently responded to our offer to join us, and they have refused. Kill them, and their leader, Lee Hae-hyun. PS. Take as many of our boys as you want"[/i][/color][/indent] [indent][indent][i][color=7ea7d8]- Kim Min-jun[/color][/i][/indent][/indent] [b]Map[/b]: The nightclub is currently in full swing with civillians. They are of no importance, but interference is not tolerated, do bear in mind. It could be a chance to sneak in and have men ready to spring. The night club has 4 floors total, one basement and 3 floors. The basement is basically the gang's "dungeon", but the other floors are the party floor, lounge, and the top floor being the VIP floor where our target will most likely be. [b]Resistance[/b]: The gangers majorly only have their fists, make-shift weapons and small knives. Those that are more than a grunt may have a handgun. Do expect automatics in the VIP lounge though, there are reports that their arms deals have obtained them such weapons. [list][*]Boons: You can have some Xuanlong goons to help out however you want them to. [*]Limitations: Small arms and melee weapons only. Grenades are still good to go.[/list] [/hider] [h3][i]Elise Annabelle Vogel | Taslim Nurkholis[/i][/h3] [hider] [b]Mission[/b]: Assassination and Espionage [b]Objective[/b]: Retrieve Intel, Kill Loui Moreau [color=8493ca][indent][i]"Excuse the sudden extension of your objectives for this mission, Agent, but recent events have necessitated a new course of action. As you are aware, your original mission was to attend the party of politician Loui Moreau at his estate, and obtain intel from his personal computer, however, things have changed. He must also die. You will find more information for this mission attached to this letter. Naturally, for your mission needs, simply pay a visit to the tailor, I bid you a successful mission."[/i][/indent][/color] [indent][indent][i][color=8493ca]- Vellum Society, Handler 'Socrates'[/color][/i][/indent][/indent] [b]Map[/b]: The estate is a short drive out from the city, open valleys all around and vineyards, farmland, and farm estates. Security is especially heavy with patrols surrounding the estate's walking paths, and inside of it. There is a large car park underneath the estate for guests, particularly for this party the target is throwing. There is a large entrance hall, a great hall where the party will be hosted, and two floors, with lower of those floors (2F) opened up to see the great hall below. The attic is also quite massive, being host to the target's collection of medieval weaponry. The security station is on the 2nd floor, and the target's office is on the 3rd floor, which has direct access to the attic. [b]Resistance[/b]: Every security guard will have a handgun. Those that are around the party room will only have handguns, while the others will have assault rifles. Every guard inside the estate will be wearing a suit with light kevlar underneath. Every guard outside the estate on patrol will be more heavily armed, with medium kevlar, rifles and even grenades. You can expect them to have a full suite of gear. [list][*]Boons: Spy gadgets, concealed weapons [*]Limitations: Be sure to be able to mingle with the party. [*]A full stealth sneaking around the high security estate approach is also possible.[/list] [/hider]
