INEPTT OPERATION HOT WASH UP

OPERATION HARSH LIGHT

Background: XRAY activity had been picked up on Eye in the Sky. Craft appeared to be a Patrol or Scout craft. Eye in the Sky went Black just when the craft landed. Technicians believe this was from some sort of pulse from the craft itself.

Two teams dispatched. SEA401 and SEA404 (South East Asia).

Team Composition:
SEA401

IC, 2IC, Sniper, Medic (and Sniper spotter), 4-person Fire team.

SEA404

IC, Support Operator (with NLAW), 2 x 4-person Fire Teams.

Operations Area

Small Village of Yeng Fo located on a fertile plateau. Ground was relatively flat, some foot hills to the south and a large rocky mountain to the north. Single dirt road following a shallow river. Southern portion of the area a mix of dense jungle and rice paddies.

Northern part some jungle and rock.

Teams were landed by Hypersonic transport to the North of Yeng Fo. This area was chosen as last known XRAY craft sighting put it to the south of Yeng Fo.

**The following is a portion of the audio from the two teams involved in OPERATION HARSH LIGHT.

**SEA401 Radio Channel** Apollo (Call sign for 401’s Sniper), confirm when in position over.

**Roger, we are nearing the top now, probably 2 minutes.

**Copy, we are starting our move towards target. (referring to the Village of Yeng Fo).

**SEA404 Radio Channel** Alfa and Bravo move. Once you are in a flanking position of the target get low and look for any signs of movement. Second team has over watch.

**2 responses of Roger**

**SEA401 Radio channel** Stark, Magoo and I are in situ. Eyes on. Looks clear so far, over.

**Roger that we are moving now.

**Display from Rover Drone shows the three fire teams moving rapidly across the open field towards Yeng Fo. Both Command teams trailing slightly behind the fire teams.

SEA401’s Fire team closes to the nearest building and stop their movement. At the same time the two teams of SEA404 are in a flanking position to the West of the town.

**SEA401 Radio Channel** Stark this is Mosquito, no XRAY’s and no Non-Coms (Non-Combatants) sighted, doesn’t feel right!

**Roger that Mosquito keep your head down for now. I am waiting for word from Second team that its clear.

**Roger, staying put.

**Joint Comms Channel** SEA401, we have no contact spotted your team is free to move on to target.

**Roger that 404.

**SEA401 Radio Channel** Mosquito you are clear, take your position on the objective.

**Roger.

**SEA404 Radio Channel** Alfa and Bravo, execute stage two.

**Two consecutive Rogers from the two teams**

Display shows the three teams beginning to move. SEA401 breaks out into 2 x 2-man teams and start to clear buildings, the 2I/C staying back by the first building.

SEA404 Bravo team moves to the south part of the village and halt. Alfa team continues south towards the jungle area south of the village.

**SEA401 Radio Channel** this is Apollo, STOP, everyone down, I have movement along the jungle line!

Holy Shit what is that??

Stark, I have a target, must be an XRAY, looks like a crocodile or alligator but this thing is the size of semi with its trailer over

**Say again Apollo! How big?

**Stark its huge, I can take a shot, but I would advise pulling all teams back RIGHT NOW.

**Joint Comms Channel** 404, pull your teams 200 meters back towards our rally point, Apollo has contact on the jungle line. Tell your guys to stay down!

Display shows a large object coming rushing out of the jungle toward SEA404 Bravo team.

Automatic weapons fire can be heard from audio feed from the various team members.

**SEA401 Radio Channel** This is Apollo I am engaging the target.

**pause of a few seconds**

Stark this is Apollo 2 hits to the head and it just tore through one of the 404 teams. I can’t stop it!

**SEA404 Radio Channel** Maestro, this is Trask, holy crap it’s a massive Crocodile. ((small arms fire is heard))

Maestro we can’t slow it down ((Screams are heard)) get the NLAW onto it ((radio goes dead))
