October 9th, 2016 - 02:50:07, while Delta Force prepares for France and half of DEVGRU is in Somalia, Hunter Team 2 and Sierra Team 1 prepare to insert into London. Inside sources, Wallcroft and Burns, say that there is still fighting going on in 10th Downing St. between its security detail and Fregata/Charity terrorists now backed by Russian Airborne Troops.

The guess is the Russians want to steal whatever is in there, possibly to gain an edge over the UK for the next Cold War. Classified documents, prized possessions, strategic intel, blackmail material, etc.

Baseplate knows that they need to be stopped, but the British government officials and military leaders have commandeered UKSF for their evac out of the city. He managed to keep Ridley, Red Coat and Cypher close, but they will still need help as all the friendlies in the area have left in droves and the Russians have started to expand.

So he calls Overlord for some backup, and the Army Rangers and 82nd Airborne are on their way in black tactical gear with CBRN equipment. They will meet with Cypher, Ridley and Red Coat at the insertion point, with the mission to rally with Wallcroft and Burns, who are in survival mode, liberate 10th Downing St., and secure other areas with sensitive data.

SPC. Arsia Zussman

82nd Airborne Division, 1st Bn., 75th Ranger Regiment, British S.A.S., British S.B.S.

Heathrow Airport, London

While disembarking from the Black Hawk, Cypher, Ridley and Red Coat meet them with three black Land Rover Defenders.

Cypher: Hunter Team 2.

Foley: We've heard about Task Force 141. Glad to know you guys are still here. Hope the others are too.

Ridley: Likewise.

Red Coat: Same.

Cypher: Me too. Welcome to London, or what's left of it.

Red Coat: Remember, the mist and chemicals are all over the place, so keep your masks and thermals on.

Rorke: I'm Staff Sergeant Gabriel Rorke, leader of Sierra Team 1.

Cypher: Lieutenant Colonel Cypher. These are Lieutenants Ridley and Red Coat. Hunter Team 2 is joining me on point. Rorke, you and your team are with the LTs in the middle and rear vehicles.

Ridley: Take your pick, Staff Sergeant.

Rorke: Alright, Greene, Poe, Arsia, you're with Red Coat. Elias, Ajax, you're with me and Ridley.

The convoy drives dark into the city. Back at Heathrow, explosions can be heard from the distance, but once they arrived, most of it stopped as the Russians moved on to house shootings

Arsia: Looks like a ghost town.

Red Coat: Which means our forces are gone and the Russians have taken over. For now, at least.

Poe: Moved or wiped out?

Red Coat: Both.

Greene: Except for two?

Red Coat: Right.

McCord: Never seen anything like it.

Ramirez: Could be a challenge. And challenges are fun. Hey, negative visibility's you're wheelhouse, right, Dunn?

Dunn: Hooah.

Once it is time to go on foot, visibility gets worse with the downpour. But ways of approach are plenty with the storm, indoor gunfire, mist and chemicals.

McCord: Can't get a bead on 'em. They're moving too fast.

Ridley: Easy there, Ranger. We'll deal with them later. Right now, Wallcroft, Burns and 10th are the priority.

McCord: Understood. It's McCord, by the way, sir.

Ridley: Ridley. And nevermind the sir. We're quite laid back.

Red Coat: Red Coat. Good to meet you, McCord.

Cypher: Cypher. You're new to Hunter Team 2, right?

McCord: Mm-hmm. Kind of, came in moments before the Russo-American War started.

Rorke: So, how do we find your boys?

Cypher: Closed channel, Staff Sergeant. We just need to follow the trail of death ahead. The mangled Russians and terrorists are their work. And they're still in survival mode until we get to them, so don't bother.

Rorke: Roger.

Foley: Roger.

Ramirez: Man, I miss Roach. If he were here, he'd personally give the city a face-lift.

Cypher: Don't we all. And won't we all.

Along the way, the team encounters the aftermath of the chemical attack in the form of deformed dead bodies. In the height, the Fregata/Charity terrorists kept hammering the military, emergency responders and civilians.

Scattered in the streets, there are signs of struggle with civilians laying dead on doorways and smashed windows, some impaled through sharp metal fences. Poisoned and gunned down police officers surrounded with people who tried to flee.

A few cops had masks but gave them to children, only for them to get shot. Military personnel and even S.A.S. operators are among them, who tried to do what Wallcroft and Burns are doing but failed.

Dead paramedics and firefighters lay inside and near their ambulances and fire trucks with the effects of the chemicals and gunshot wounds, likely died before they could do any good. Arsia definitely felt horrible while looking at them, so she scanned her sectors, and gave a short prayer to all the emergency responders.

On a sidewalk, Ramirez sees a man with a video camera, woman and little girl. He assumes that they were a family, not knowing that they were the Davis Family, American.

While closing their eyes and turning the video camera off, Ramirez gets antsy for a bit.

Foley: Ramirez. Ramirez? Ramirez.

Ramires: *exhales sharply* Master Sergeant?

Foley: Something wrong?

Ramirez: Oh, *shakes head* I was getting a little uneasy. I remember Grace wanting to visit London three months ago. This could have been us.

Foley: Don't wish for something you don't want.

Dunn: Hey, I'm sure you won't let something like this happen to you, Grace, or anyone else. Right?

Ramirez: Yeah.

McCord: You gonna be okay?

Ramirez: I'll be better.

Foley: Good man. Come on, I think we got something.

Ramirez: On your six.

Hunter Team 2, Sierra Team 1 and the S.A.S./S.B.S. move out when Arsia went ahead. Over there, she follows the trail of dead hostiles to a group who looked to have been recently killed, and then sees a green laser pointed between her eyes.

Arsia: Blue! Blue! Don't shoot!

Burns: Sierra Team 1?

Arsia: Affirmative. Been looking for you guys.

Wallcroft: Nice work.

Cypher: Indeed. Wallcroft, Burns, glad you're still here.

Ridley: Ballsy moves, Wallcroft. Bruv.

Burns: Into the woods, again. Just like old times.

Cypher: Alright, we're all here. Give us the SITREP.

Wallcroft: 10th's security is gonna run dry at any moment and the Russians are about to breach.

Cypher: Time to give them some help. Rangers, lead the way.

Dunn: Damn straight.

Rorke: Don't get all high and mighty now, "Specialist".

Arsia: Of course not, staff sergeant.

Elias: We'll see.

Now entering the middle of 10th Downing St., security has been breached, but half of the enemy assault team is being intercepted by Cypher's JTF. Time to do some breaching and clearing of their own, with Ramirez on point most of the time, being armed with the best weapon for CQB.

Once clear, Cypher orders Sierra Team 1 to provide security while he, Ridley, Red Coat and Hunter Team 2 check and secure the intel.

Cypher: Secure them. At the same time, scan and picture anything related to 141. Power's out and the backup generators are cut off. We only got one chance at this.

Red Coat: Got it.

Ridley: Here. And three more where this came from.

Ramirez: More than just Shepherd, huh?

Cypher: Yeah. Heard anything about this?

Ramirez: No.

Dunn: Afraid not.

Foley: I think we can help each other. We'll try Overlord. He's skeptical about Shepherd as well.

Cypher: Appreciate it. If no joy, I'll pay him a visit myself.

McCord: Sounds promising.

The team rinses and repeats in the breached MI5, MI6 and UKSF HQs, Scotland Yard, and Buckingham Palace for the next one and a half hour. MI5, MI6 and UKSF HQs have good finds while Scotland Yard and Buckingham palace only had hostiles.

Regardless, everyone is satisfied with their missions accomplished. The spec ops get more on the TF 141 fiasco than before, and the whole op is great practice for Sierra Team 1, even though they can already keep up.

On the way back to Heathrow Airport to extract, the 141 intel gathered confirms the ones in General Crowley's laptop about the approvals coming from the President and Prime Ministers of the U.S., U.K., Australia and Canada, shows Makarov's name all over it, points to the specific sponsors of the task force, and may convince U.S. Spec Ops to get involved. But in discreet fashion as the Rangers point out that there may be more involved who could be nearby.
