[QUOTE="talien, post: 4408059, member: 3285"] [b]Operation Countdown: Part 3 – Old Man River[/b] Hammer’s interrogation of the sole surviving terrorist from the first convoy led the agents to the location of the second convoy. A yacht, the Laila, was moving up the Tigris River with plans to offload its cargo in Baghdad. About half the weapons would stay in the capitol to fuel a new wave of insurgency while the rest were to be loaded onto trucks similar and sent to Saudi Arabia. Hammer slipped out of the rowboat and silently clambered up the back of the boat. On the other side, Caprice did the same, with Archive in tow. They shed their flippers and masks. Hammer drew his two pistols and peered up over the next tier of the yacht. Guards were everywhere, armed with Skorpions. They were outnumbered again. Hammer was beginning to agree with Archive – they were being sent on missions that had a very low chance of success, much less survival. Caprice bumped into the metal railing and the subsequent clatter seemed to echo forever. One of the guards wandered over, more bored than concerned. The guard spotted Archive first. He pointed his Skorpion and was about to shout a warning when Archive displayed his left hand, palm outward. “[FONT="Impact"]Ia! Nyarlathotep![/FONT]” he whispered. The guard shrieked. He dropped his weapon, forgotten, and dove overboard. “Great,” said Caprice as the alarm was raised. He ducked back down beneath the lip of the second tier as guards jogged over. One of the guards peeked his head over the rim. Caprice fired his pistol in the man’s face. Gunfire erupted all around them as Hammer, using the distraction, unleashed on the unprepared guards. Chaos ensued as the guards were sandwiched between assailants on both sides. There was a snap, and all the terrorists heads whipped around to listen. Then they scrambled off the ship to the chorus of more shouts and screaming. Hammer turned the corner around a crate, only to find himself pointing his Glocks at Caprice. “What the hell just happened?” asked Hammer. “I have no idea,” said Caprice. “Archive did something with his hand and the first guy jumped off the boat—“ Archive stepped out from around the corner. “I didn’t think the rune was that powerful.” “Rune?” asked Hammer in disbelief. “What are you talking about?” He got a closer look at Archive’s open palm. “Is that a swastika?” Archive suddenly held up one hand. “Shh!” “What?” asked Caprice. “That sound,” said Archive. “It sounds like…” Hammer’s head swiveled back and forth, trying to pinpoint the noise. “Hissing.” “Like a fuse?” asked Caprice. Hammer grabbed Archive and hurled him off the yacht. He sputtered in the water. “What the hell did you do that for?” shouted Caprice. Hammer booted Caprice off the yacht next. Then he dove after him. A cacophony of explosions ripped through the Laila a second later. “That’s why, Hotpants,” said Hammer, treading water. “That’s why.” [/QUOTE]
