Operation Two: Grand March

Aug 11, 2008 11:47

Plan is as follows. Authorized personnel only allowed to read this.

1. Regain contact with unaffected troops in DC metro region. Believed that approximately 50% of all troops unaffected by Psychic Beacon. Highest ranking officer left standing is Ltc. William Harris.

2. Troops are to convene at Jefferson Memorial as rapidly as possible. IFVs confirmed as fully operational. Reinforcements via paradrop cleared once general area is clear and safe. Theater commander will be Cmdr. Brown, with tactical support from Lt. Eva.

3. Primary goal is the destruction of the Psychic Beacon. President Dugan will be airlifted out of the LZ once Beacon and Soviet forces have been neutralized.

4. Secondary goal is the reunification of all forces in the DC area. Once mission is complete, all troops are ordered to fall back to the Pentagon for the time being.

I've never handled a mission of this size before. The rescue of Colorado's AF Academy was a simple mission. Agent Adams and the rocketeer squad really made infiltration and recapture a cinch. Taking out the Soviet base was tricky, but doable. But this? I can't fight my own men as easily. I know how they work, yes, but I know them personally, too. I'll visit their graves once this is over. I promise.

A PINpoint... it's a fascinating little machine. Who knew something so small could do so much? It's like a pocket Chronosphere for one. I wound up in a few strange places before I figured out how to get home again. There was a place hip-deep in shrimp. I wound up in San Francisco, but what was odd was that there was smoke coming from Alcatraz. I wonder what that was about.

I also found St. Louis, but I didn't want to stay. The men acted wrong and my head, it... I couldn't focus on my own thoughts very well. Once I figured out why my thoughts were so wrong, I got out of there. The last thing we need is for me to fall under a Psychic Beacon's control. I'll have to be more careful with this PINpoint from now on.

The janitor's closet on Level B4 is the portal. It moved there from the mess hall once I got back to CentCom.

I'll have to visit once the mission's over. With the coats, of course.

commander's thoughts, operation: hail to the chief
