McComb May 19, 3039
Players' Briefing
As you know, the team has been hired to foment a rebellion here on Mc Comb to aid the Federats in taking this world. Unfortunately for them, the Military Governor has this world under almost complete control; our sources say that the local populace is terrified of him. There will be no popular support until he is out of the picture. We have tried to get him more than once, but he has the devil's own luck in surviving our attempts.
Since our last attempt he has gone into hiding. Our Elint (Electronic Intelligence) has given us an 80% reliability factor that he and his family are hiding out at the Zhang Sho Company Barracks, twenty kilometers outside of the capitol city. The plan is simple: your squad is to penetrate the Barracks by night and eliminate the Governor and his family without attracting the attention of the forty-man garrison.
The information we have on the site is as follows: Zhang Sho Company is a jump infantry company which keeps two platoons at the camp with one platoon on a seven to fourteen day operation at any one time. The outpost itself is protected by a threemeter high wired fence which has heat sensors placed about every twenty meters along the perimeter. The perimeter is also watched by eight guards. The building itself is twelve meters tall, and has two entrances, each of which has a guard. There is a VTOL pad on the roof.
There will be a diversion going on to draw away any local forces which may be near by. There'll be no backup available to the garrison, which should make your job easier. If there are no questions, let's get to work.
WARNING!
IF YOU ARE NOT THE GAMEMASTER, DO NOT READ FURTHER! UNDER PENALTY OF HAVING THE SCENARIO AND YOUR PLEASURE SPOILED!
