As is standard for Living Spycraft missions, the characters are agents employed by UNITAS, the United Nations International Tactical Advisory Service. This organization is jointly sponsored and supported by nations from across the globe, though it operates in secret to prevent unwanted scrutiny and maintain a necessary degree of autonomy.

The characters are called in on a mission on short notice. After being piled into planes -- or other modes of transport -- and a short transit, the agents find themselves in Washington DC, where they are told they will be briefed...

The part of Firefox will be played by Sarah Wayne Callies

Thursday, December 12th
Washington D.C.

A light dusting of snow was visible on the ground as your plane headed into Reagan International Airport. UNITAS (United Nations International Tactical Advisory Service) had pulled your team into D.C. to serve in an unusual capacity. Stepping off the Company Learjet, you were immediately met by your handler, who introduced herself as Firefox. With the most perfunctory of greetings, she waved you all into the rear of a black limousine.

[imager]http://home.metrocast.net/~adkohler/game/sarah-wayne-callies.jpg[/imager]Once the car is in motion, heading northwest into Maryland, she begins to brief you on the situation while passing out manila envelopes.

“We’re playing catch-up on this one, people. Something got classified as low priority when it shouldn’t have.

“As of right now, you have a new working alias. Consider yourselves members of the United States Secret Service. You have ID and some appropriate background information in the envelopes. These aliases are only good for cursory inspections, but they should pass you off for the next meeting we’re heading to.

“Your immediate assignment will be an escort mission. A discreet one. You’re being assigned as covert security for William Sullivan, Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee. We’re en route to meet him and his twin daughters — Katherine and Cassandra right now.

“Yes, normally UNITAS wouldn’t concern ourselves with something so mundane, but we’ve been pulling Sullivan’s strings for some of our long term projects. We need him as an asset… at least until the next election. Then he’s going to be involved with a terrible money laundering scandal.”

Firefox smiles thinly. “Of course it’s more complicated than that.”

“Approximately two weeks ago on December 1st, William Sullivan received a death threat from the Shahada terrorist group on the windshield of his personal car. He was at an unscheduled stop, and it had him rightfully spooked. But it was flagged as Cat-One in the system: Low priority. UNITAS didn’t find out until two days ago, so that’s why your covers aren’t as solid as we’d like..

“Shahada’s the second reason we’re sending you in. We’ve had chatter recently, putting them as the new player on the board, but we haven’t been able to get solid intel on their group. This could be our chance. If they actually had a chance to hit Sullivan once — and didn’t take it — they’re overdue for a second try.

“People, you’ve got a lot of objectives on this one. Collect intelligence on Shahada, keep the Senator safe, and make sure he stays our man until next year.

“Be on your guard, though. Something about this doesn’t sit right. Groups like this don’t pass up chances to make a hit and leave calling cards instead. Something else is going on.

“If you don’t have any questions, time to meet the Senator.”

Cleo brings out her iPhone and starts tapping out a message. "Where are meeting this most deserving of future unencumbants?" she asks. "And what's my cover identity - I'd like to have something in place that can actually stand up to more than curspry scrutiny."

"Senator Sullivan’s secondary estate is in Potomac Maryland, for when the Senate is in session; after we pick up your gear, we are proceeding there directly. The Senator is expecting you all. The Secret Service assigned to the house know you’re calling the shots, so don’t worry about them.”

"As for the cover IDs... like I said, we would have liked something more solid. The details are in the folder. Be careful."

[sblock=All]
As befits a Cal I cover ID, the details are pretty cursory. You can feel free to make up contact names and other minor details, or use the randomly generated names here:
MACHETE: Max Sandoz
LEADFOOT: Candace Boyce
SAINT: Leonard Braden
VEINS: Chad Marshall
COVER GIRL: Erica Clements

Scene I has commenced.

[sblock=All]Firefox drops your group at a meeting point where you can pick up any vehicles and other gear you requisitioned; she also lets you know that there is a black SS SUV at the senator's place.[/sblock]

As your vehicle passes the two Secret Service agents at the decorative iron gates, then heads down the 150 ft. driveway to the house, it’s readily apparent that if this is a secondary estate, his house in Massachusetts must be just as big. You see some more agents walking the grounds, complete with unbuttoned coats and earpieces.
 

[imager]http://livingspycraft.com/meta/@MBR/6065:10179.jpg[/imager]At the meeting point, Cleo smooths her new pants suit over the the bulges created by her shoulder holster and the other assorted gear of the group's new profession.

Somewhere else, she knows, Erica Clements is becoming rather more real than she had been a few hours ago. Divorced parents living in Odessa, Texas and Manchester, England. Three different credits cards with enough purchases on them to show a fondness for eating out, mostly Indian and Thai. There's an affair buried in there too with a married Texas Ranger who understandably doesn't want to talk about it in case their indiscretion becomes known but can mention her appendectomy scar and the hotel bed they broke. And the time she got disciplined for breaking a hack reporter's camera over his head.

"How do I look?" she asks the others a touch vainly, pleased with the deep almost-violet black colour of the bullet-resistant material it's made from. Her usual accent is gone, replaced with a lazy southern drawl.

Bonnie checks the car provided, grabs her gear and scoffs at the suit.

"Hooray, we look like the Blues Brothers. It's like a goddamn dream come true."

Cleo smiles brightly. "Does that mean we have to run away from a crazy ex-girlfriend with a flamethrower? We're certainly on a mission for people who act like they're God."

Happy with her appearance, she grabs the shotgun position and tucks her camera under the chair.

"Lets just get on with this shall we, I can't see how babysitting duty is a role suitable to my talents - so lets get it over with."
Alexander adjusts his suit to fit the young and inexperienced image he likes to promote to the outside world.

Frances listened to the two women talk, smiling to himself. He had a tendency to try and read people, figure out what made them tick, as it were. Leadfoot already showed signs of aggression, and Covergirl had a mask of humor. He felt the group looked fine, dull and easily forgetful. We’ll fit in fine with the rest of the secret service agents.

Before leaving the car, he wanted to ask Firefox a few questions, “Is there any information on Shahada available? Even a small detail about them might be helpful. And the death threat, do we know where this occurred exactly?”

"Shahada's a new player; we have no further credible intel on them yet. We're hoping you can change that."

And the death threat, do we know where this occurred exactly?”

Firefox shuffles through the content of a folder and looks up. "It was during an unscheduled side trip the senator made to go see his girlfriend, Katrine Iseman. Anyways, there's more in the report," she says, reaching out to tap the folder she handed you earlier.
