Gloomy Inquiry

#operation 5

OPERATION “Gloomy Inquiry”

Issued: 15th August, 5594

SITUATION

Battlegroup Black’s flying pyramid has rampaged across northern Drotingdomr for nearly two weeks now.
Battlegroup Black’s aerial fleet is strong, not strong enough to stop a concentration of our forces, but strong enough to hold us back long enough for hostile ground forces to evacuate to the flagship and teleport away.
Our citizens are restless, and our arial flee is demoralized. We must bring that pyramid down.

OBJECTIVE

Ground Battlegroup Black’s pyramid HQ.
To do this, you must infiltrate the ship. We have assigned false identities for you and will load your ship with supplies. Other Ehnets inside the ship will wait for you.
Make contact with other Ehnets.
We expect that disabling the cores will bring the ship down.

COMPLICATIONS

The pyramid has caused numerous communication failures with our Ehnets in the area. We assume this is some kind of psionic jamming. The failures are not uniform, but they seem to correspond to certain areas of the pyramid.
As we have lost contact with our Ehnets, you will not have a perfect plan until you make contact with them.

CLOSING

Gods be with you.
