Well, apparently we have an imperial defector from the Intelligence division, a Ptaph Tigellinus. This man has been gathering support for years and now has the intention to fire several missiles that the Vast Empire Army keeps on the island of Cahvalho, northeast of Sianat. He has the intention to fire these out of orbit and onto the surface of Nodriss. The radiation of several of these missiles, let alone several tens of them, can cause a dangerous reaction on the gas giant. I don’t quite understand the science behind it, but something about the gases heating up and forming a super heated plume that would engulf the entire moon of Tadath.

Three Squads, Jester, Eclipse, and Paladin Squads all members of Storm Platoon were chosen to aprehend Imperial Defector Ptaph Tigellinus, who was located on the planet Tadath. When Ptaph defected, he defected with the intention to fire several missiles that the Vast Empire Army had kept on the island of Cahvalho. He had the intention to fire these missiles at Nodriss, these missiles would cause a very dangerous reaction to the gas giant. If the missiles were to hit, Nodriss would create a super-heated plume that would engulf Tadath.
Mission Details[edit]
Events Prior to Mission[edit]
Prior to the mission, Sergeant Major Pershaw who was head of Storm Platoon at the time had approachred Giovanni Bryden, leader of Paladin to be the Platoon adjutant. Giovanni accepted the offer.
Objectives and Goals[edit]
Primary Objectives[edit]
- To stop Vast Empire Army missiles from being launched at Nodriss.
- To apprehend Imperial Intelligence defector Ptaph Tigellinus.
- To reach Tadath before it completes its rotation period.
Mission Debriefing[edit]
Ptaph Tigellinus, an Imperial Intelligence defector had the intention to release close to a dozen missiles at Nodriss. This would cause a catastrophic super heated plume that would engulf Tadath in flames. As Ptaph Tigellinus was located in the missile launch Facility/Bunker, therefore making him safe when the planned Nodriss plume would engulf Tadath, making everyone not in a safe bunker at risk of sure death. That was when the Army launched Storm Platoon. As the island was heavily defended in terms of automated anti-air defence, the Army assigned the Platoon to sea transport. Storm Platoon loaded up onto a shuttle and headed for the Tadath Drydocks, were they were planned to meet up with accompanying forces.

It is our fortune that the island is under-defended in terms of actual sentients holding it. However the automated anti-air enforcing a no-fly-zone makes things rather... difficult in the approach. I hope you all don’t get sea sick easily... We’ll be taking a nice amphibious assault vehicle ride once we arrive at the military docks of Sianat via the shuttle behind me. Find a seat mate or two, fasten those buckles and let’s not waste any more time. We’ll get some more support once we reach the docks, we are not going alone apparently, so some relief there.

She watched as he gave Gio a stick and a red cape , and jogged a short distance away. when he wiggled his rump, it made her smile. the fun really began when he charged Gio. She watched with amusement as Doc ran and Gio tried to avoid him.

Wicket squealed a little bit as he hopped into action, small silver head bobbing up and down as he loosed random shots over his shoulder at the approaching patrol squad. The enemy looked haggard, tired, and under armed but most of all they looked angry. It seemed that Alater and Gio's group attempt of causing general hell and chaos had payed off in not only distracting the enemy but making them unfit for battle."

One man popped up out of his chair with a blaster being raised ,but was stopped short be a blast from Squall’s gun. Saph grappled with a man that tried to tackle her and wrestled him to the ground hitting him on the back of the head. Jelly grabbed the outreached hand of a guard who was taking aim at Saph and brought his arm don the opposite way on his elbow shattering the bone. The man cried out in pain and dropped to his knees. Jelly pointed the gun at his head and fired a single shot ending the cries.
