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[/sblock]Thursday, December 12thWashington 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.”[sblock=All]Mission caliber is III.Campaign qualities (in addition to LSpy standards) are: Blockbuster.Default threat level is 1; I don't recommend changing it.Recommended Gadgets: Holy ghost (Crucifix — EMP (range varies with Caliber), 1 half action required to activate or deactivate), still life (digital camera — static hologram (20 ft. range, 30 min. battery, PR 7, 1 half action required to activate or deactivate)Mission Bundle: Secret Service Agent Bundle (–24 XP: Cover ID (Caliber I), earpiece tactical radio (Caliber I), sunglasses, handcuffs, shoulder holster, U.S. Treasury Department badge w/ neck chain)Please post your intel phase/gear up in the OOC forum (link is conveniently placed in my sig.)[/sblock]</blockquote>
