Myth Island – Fuji Islands region, Pacific Ocean
"OK, I just finished talking to Col. Une. They've discovered the mole, but where too late to warn us of any trouble," Matt said.
"Our main concern now is the safety of our families," Tim added, looking much stressed.
"Alright, this is what I have planned: Tim, you return to your home and monitor the situation from your home. If anything happens, holler at us and we'll be coming. The rest of us will return to our respected homes before Treize can pull a fast one," Matt ordered.
"That won't be necessary," Dr. J said. "My colleagues and I have spent the few last hours attempting to gather information about your parents and after several hours we discovered, besides the fact that the Inter-Dimensional Long Distance is very expansive, that all of your parents, including yours Mr. Rau, where invited to an all-expense paid cruise. Oh, and we found out Mr. Rau that your sister is holding a party in your residence, so we quickly contacted local law enforcement."
"Excellent," Tim said.
"We've pinpointed their position; they are 100 miles SW off the coast of Sicily, Italy," Dr. J explained.
"So we have a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean with Captain Treize and his scumbag crew. How are we going to infiltrate the ship without crashing their dinner?" Matt questioned.
Q said, "Simple: Tim will be transported onto the ship and will secure the LZ (landing zone). Once then, you'll infiltrate the ship via RIB's (Ridged Inflatable Boats)."
"Now, for the obvious question: how in the hell am I supposed to infiltrate the ship and secure the LZ when I'm in broad view of every guard on the ship?" Tim asked.
"And now for the obvious answer: they don't see you," Q responded.
"Oh…so…you're going to make me invisible," Tim quipped.
"Yes, as the matter of fact," Q said as a screen came down. "This is the Spectersuit. It's an armored powered plated with Gundanium and Neo-Titanium and it's equipped with the most advanced sensors money can buy. It also allows the user to gain superhuman strength – in short, you can bench a car. But the most exiting thing about this is the cloaking system."
"Cloaking device?" Tim asked in disbelief even as he stared at the suit which resembled Master Chief's suit from Halo.
"The system uses the theory of light reflection to cause all light wavelengths to curve around the suit, rendering it invisible on all light spectrums until you're on the way top," Q explained. "It's also equipped with a number of attachment points for weapon storage and combat kits in containers that also have the properties as the suit, with room for expansions. The left arm is voice activated with serves as a computer and GPS global positioning. The right arm has a grappling took with winch system. The only problem is that we only have one of these."
"What? There's only one?" Duo asked.
"Apparently, we had enough money to afford one. Don't worry; you'll all look the same. The suit is black, and I think that everyone that's in the mission is also wearing black," Q said.
"OK then, so how do we get the rest of the team in?" Heero asked.
Dr. J answered, "Mr. Rau will be transported 5 minutes before you are. When you're transported, you'll be at an altitude of 5000 ft. and ½ mile away from the liner. You'll parachute in, infiltrate via boat, and link up with Specter."
"Who's Specter?" Matt asked.
"Specter is Mr. Rau's code name," Q said as he handed him a gem, oddly shaped like a ghost.
"I can only imagine what this is," Tim said with a grin on his face.
"Now, with that taken care of, we'll continue with the briefing," Dr. J said, waiting for second. "After you board the vessel you'll split into 4 teams of 4," Dr. J said.
"That equals 16 operatives. We only have 12 at the moment," Quatre said.
"That's why we're bringing in four Preventers agents. Meet Domingo "Ding" Chavez & Santiago Arnavisca, both former Navy SEALs, and Andrew Burke & Jamal Murad, both former British SAS. They'll be tagging along on this mission," Dr. J said.
"Nice to meet you Chavez," Matt said.
"This is a nice place, I must say," Chavez said back. Dr. J coughed, and we got back to the briefing.
"Alpha team consists of Matt, Amy, Savanna, and Santiago; Bravo team consists of Tim, Jason, Nikita, and Trel; Charlie consists of Heero, Quatre, Andrew and Jamal; and Delta team consists of Duo, Trowa, Wufei, and Chavez," Q explained.
"Why four teams?" Trowa asked.
"Because this mission has no room for failure. Alpha and Bravo will secure the hostages located below the bow of the ship. Charlie and Delta will secure the fantail of the ship and provide cover if needed," Dr. J explained.
"How will we extract the hostages?" Wufei asked. Everyone else had certain looks towards the doctors. Ultimately, Wufei's question was never heard.
"I can see from the looks that some of you are wondering why we can't simply transport your parents here like we did. The basic reason is that we had plenty of time to plan your transports here and that we had your biosigns already established. Once you secure the hostages, you'll extract to the fantail. There, you'll use the gems to transport everyone en mass," J said.
"What happens then?" Nikita asked.
"Your parents will have everything explained to them, and then their memories will be wiped clean; they'll remember having a good time on the cruise. Then they will be returned to their homes, unaware of the events that are unfolding," Q said.
"So, let's get this party started!" Jason said.
"That's the spirit. Arm up and meet us in the lab. Mr. Rau…err…I mean Specter, come with me," Q said.
10 minutes later, all the teams where next to the lab waiting for one of their most important missions yet.
Dr. J added a M203 12-gauge shotgun attachment to Matt's FAMAS, still silenced. The cool thing was that with a switch, he could fire the FAMAS and the shotgun from the same trigger. Everyone else had a silenced M4, also with a shotgun attachment. As for backups, Matt always had his useful twin Deagles, and the rest had silent Beretta M92FS. Tim on the other hand was equipped with a silenced and scoped M-14 'Master Key', a M-14 with a 12-Gauge shotgun attached beneath the barrel, and a pair of Smith & Wesson .50 caliber revolvers that were located in buried holsters on the legs of the Spectersuit like Robocop.
As for equipment, Alpha and Charlie had flashbangs, HE grenades, C4, and ammo, while Bravo and Delta had smoke grenades, HE grenades, breaching charges, and ammo. Everyone had an IR & NV headset w/ communicator.
They all turned heads as the door hissed open and Q walking up to us with Tim behind in the Spectersuit. Matt saw that the suit was slightly configured from the original configuration. Along with his weapons, he had a sheath on his back. The only weapon that was visible was the M-14, which had a unusual coloring to it, so Matt guessed that it also had the same stealth properties the suit had.
Tim walked over to us and said, "I felt that since I had to board this hostile ship, I might as well look the part," as he put on a Jolly Rogers bandanna then whipped out a large cutlass from the sheath on his back. "Avast there you scurvy sea dogs! Prepare to be boarded by Ghost Beard the Pirate!" he said in his most piratey voice while pointing at his cutlass at a monitor showing the ship. And then he smirked at us as he looked at us, locked his helmet into place, chambered a round into the M4, and looked at the doctors. "Alright Scotty, beam me down!" he said as he dissolved in a flash of light.
Above, a monitor counted down from 5 minutes. During that time, last minute checks where made, and Andrew said some jokes for good measure. The timer hit zero and Matt said, "Alright, let's go to work!" and gave a thumbs up as they all dissolved into the light.
