Events

 Briefing in medias res

Teresa: "We lost contact with the refinery six hours ago. We have no idea how long the targets've been on site. Zoom in, sector 344."

Lian Xing: "Stop! Stop! That's our LZ, right there."

Gabe: "Targets?"

Teresa: "A paramilitary group calling itself Red Section. They've been linked to a number of ops in the past two years."

Gabe: "Who is he?"

Teresa: "According to his profile, he's the foreman of the refinery."

Gabe: "Connections? Why us?"

Teresa: "His file has a classified section, person of interest to the Pentagon. They want a covert response. No conventional forces."

Lian Xing: "Politics? Washington doesn't want news getting out 'til they're ready."

Gabe: "They're not telling us ev'rything. Tell 'em we'll go. But on my terms only."

In a flashback, Gabe and Lian are being given a situation report on the circumstances. The paramilitary gang Red Section has seized KemSynth Petroleum for an indeterminate time frame, and Washington has ordered the IPCA to investigate, since they require a covert response. Gabe realises there is something they don't know about, but decides to go on his terms.

Approach on the facility

Gabe: "I'm on the gun. Don't slow down."

Lian Xing: "INCOMING!...Hold on."
