October 6th - 04:11:35, the assault element is ready and waiting at their insertion points. Consisting of a couple of ten man assault teams, a ten man sniper team, two AH-6 Little Bird transports on standby for possible medevac/casevac, and an MH-6M Little Bird gunship for possible CAS (close air support).
All are in their CBRN combat uniforms and masks underneath their plate carriers, battle belts and ballistic helmets for a possible chemical attack.
British S.A.S. Bravo 6 and Bravo 9 are the assault team, with Sierra 1 as the sniper team, and Royal Air Force Vulture 2 as the air support. Lead by Baseplate providing ISR, carried out by Staff Sergeant Wallcroft of Bravo 6 (Sgt. Wallcroft in the original) and Staff Sergeant Meyers of Bravo 9 (Meyers/Bravo 9 Leader in the original).
Wallcroft: That's a dodgy way of doing charity work.
Burns: Hell of a front.
Meyers: Yeah.
Baseplate: The trucks are leaving the docks right now.
Wallcroft: Our source say what they were transporting?
Baseplate: Intel on this op shows the shipment came from high value targets overseas. Be advised, one of the trucks is still at the docks.
Griffen: That's not suspicious at all.
Wallcroft: I agree. Why not get a Spectre in here and sink the whole bloody thing in the river?
Baseplate: Too high profile, Bravo 6. Vulture's birds will provide air cover for now.
Wallcroft: Let's just get this thing done and dusted.
With Baseplate picking up movement in the warehouses, Bravo 6 will take the first one, Bravo 9 will handle the other. Everything set and everyone ready, the mission is a go.
Wallcroft assembles his assault team with Sergeant Marcus Burns (voiced and played by Sam Heughan), Sergeant Griffen (Cpl. Griffin/Griffen in the original) and two more operators who are fairly new. Meyers assembles his assault team with Sergeant Wells, Sergeant Fleming and a couple of FNGs as well.
One half of both Bravo teams are armed with assault rifles while the other half with submachine guns. Specifically Colt Canada L119A2 assault rifles with the same set of attachments as Ridley's rifle for the first halves of Bravo 6 and 9 on stealth, but Wallcroft, Meyers and the rooks have Aimpoint Micro T-1 Red Dot Sights instead of EOTech EXPS34 Holographic Sights with G33 Magnifiers.
And HK MP5 A5 MLI submachine guns with EOTech EXPS34 Holographic Sights, EOTech PEQ-15 IR Aiming Lasers on the right rail, Hi-Point 995 Tactical LED Flashlights on the left rail, Magpul Foregrips attached to the bottom rail, and SMG suppressors. For the second halves of Bravo 6 and 9 waiting in vans for the main assault.
Wallcroft: Alright mates, let's do this. Weapons free. That's the warehouse in front of us. Burns, we'll sweep, you clean.
Burns: I gotcha.
Burns kills the first guard*
Wallcroft: Alley clear, move.
Griffen: Got two more inside.
Wallcroft: Make sure they don't wake up.
Burns kills the sleeping guards*
Wallcroft: Bravo 9, you got two behind the door.
Meyers: Copy.
Griffen: Two targets down the alley. Ten meters.
Wallcroft: Take 'em down.
With a collateral headshot.
Burns: Double kill.
Griffen: Alley clear.
Now both teams are inside Warehouse One and Warehouse Two breaching and clearing.
Wallcroft: Burns, take point. Sounds like more around the corner.
Burns: Alright, on me.
suppressed gunfire*
Griffen: Mornin' gents.
Burns: Three X-Rays down.
Griffen: Room clear.
Wallcroft: Move.
Sierra 1: Bravo 6, this is Sierra 1, two hostiles on top floor of your building. Taking the shot. Send 'em. Outer perimeter is secure.
Wallcroft: Greenlight on all teams. Go! Through the glass.
After sliding down the roof to get on the ground, the two vans breach the gate and start pouring out five operators each. Now the alarm is raised and the guards, and even the unarmed workers, take some guns and engage.
Meyers: The workers are shooting at us!
Wallcroft: Shoot them as well then!
Meyers: Copy!
Griffen: RPG! Move!
The RPG blows up Bravo 6's van, but everyone dived out of the blast radius in time. Burns kills the launcher before Sierra 1 starts searching the roof and balconies for more, then moves on to provide cover fire for the recovering second half of Bravo 6.
Burns: Everyone alright?!
Bravo 6-5: Affirmative! We appear to be okay!
Burns: Then get up, take cover and engage! You're not finished yet!
Bravo 6-5: You heard him, lads! Back on your feet!
Once everyone is back in the fight, the full force of the 30 man Bravo 6, Bravo 9, and Sierra 1 clear the docks fast.
Wallcroft: All clear?!
Griffen: Clear!
Meyers: Clear!
Burns: Clear, boss!
Sierra 1: Bravo 6, Sierra 1. You're all clear.
Wallcroft: Alright, set up a perimeter.
Bravo 6, Bravo 9 and Sierra 1 set up security while Wallcroft, Griffen and Burns stack up on the truck's doors.
Wallcroft: Burns, Griffen, open the doors.
Burns: Ready.
Griffen: Ready.
Wallcroft: Covering, go.
Burns and Griffen open the doors*
Burns: There's nothing in here.
Wallcroft: Baseplate, the lorry is empty. What's the status on the rest of 'em?
Baseplate: Bravo 6, be advised— *static*
Meyers: Contact!
Before the situation can be addressed, the assault team face enemy reinforcements with LMGs, SMGs, ARs and RPGs. With that, Vulture 2-2, the gunship in the Vulture Squadron, provide CAS while the ground troops look out for people trying to shoot the bird down.
Pushing through the construction site, they see the enemy dug in, ready to defend the breached subway tube on the other side.
Wallcroft: Vulture 2, we're taking heavy fire from the west! I need you to hit 'em again!
Vulture 2-2: Coming back around. Danger close.
Burns: Stand clear!
A minute of fighting, the Fregata/Charity insurgents make their escape with their train.
Griffen: They're falling back to the tube!
Wallcroft: Baseplate, hostiles are leggin' it back to the tube. We're pursuing on the trucks!
Baseplate: Roger that. Vulture 2-2, scout ahead and check stops. Find out where they're headed.
Vulture 2-2: Vulture 2-2, breaking away.
Wallcroft: Griffen, Burns, in this truck! We're going after them. Everyone else, extract with Vulture 2-3!
Meyers: Wells, Fleming, with me! Bravo 9, extract with Vulture 2-1!
With the leading members of Bravo 6 and Bravo 9 securing the trucks, they prepare to chase the train while the enemy gets everyone on board. Burns and Meyers refil their plate carriers as they will be the gunners of their groups.
With the trucks hot-wired and the train leaving, the chase is on.
Wallcroft: Hold on!
Burns: RPG! *shoots* Whew!
Wallcroft: Try and get along side it!
Meyers: Incoming train! Go right! Go right!
Burns: Jesus, guys!
Wallcroft: A little close there, mate!
Griffen: Sod off! We're still in one piece!
Wallcroft: Just keep her steady! Baseplate, we're tracking hostiles through the tube! We need to know where they're headed!
Baseplate: Bravo 6, all metro exits from your location are located in the city, over.
Wallcroft: Watch your fire! Civvies up ahead!
Vulture 2-2: Vulture 2-2 here, scouting mission inconclusive. No possible destination spotted.
Wallcroft: Vulture 2, where the hell are you?!
Vulture 2-2: Got your position, got the target. Inbound and hot.
But even after the strafing run, the train is still moving.
Wallcroft: Why's that driver still breathing?!
Meyers: I can't get a shot!!
Burns: Bad angle fron my position!
Wallcroft: This line goes straight to Westminster! We have to stop this thing, now!
Burns: Covering! Take it, Meyers!
Meyers: I see the driver! Taking the shot— ahh!!
Fleming: Man down! Man dow—!
Meyers gets hit, Fleming gets hit, and then Wells gets hit, drives and crashes in front of the train in his death throes. The truck causes the train to derail, decouple and crash all over the tunnel.
Burns: Shit! Nooo!
Wallcroft: Hold on!
Griffen: Wallcroft! Burns! Go! I can't get out!
The truck rolls over, Burns gets crushed for a split-second, falls off, lands hard and gets knocked out. 06:12:07, Burns finds himself not dead but drifting in and out of consciousness for a while until Baseplate's transmissions wake him up.
Baseplate: Bravo 6, come in. Bravo 6, do you copy?
Wallcroft: Burns...*coughs* you alright?
Burns: Barely. *coughs* Where's Griffen?
Wallcroft: Dead.
Burns looks at Griffen, lying dead out of the truck with a broken neck.
Burns: Oh, Griffen. Not you too.
Wallcroft: Come on. He wouldn't want us to stay here.
Burns: Okay. *coughs*
Baseplate: Bravo 6, what's your status?
Wallcroft: Bravo 9 is gone. 6-1 is dead. 6-2 and I are all that's left. And the train's done in under Westminster. Those bastards were using it for transport.
Baseplate: Roger that. Be advised, the trucks are headed in your direction. Get topside and RV with Bravo 2. Do you copy, over?
Wallcroft: Copy. Come on, Burns. It looks like it's just us now.
Burns: We can take 'em. On you.
But somehow, the Fregata/Charity terrorists are everywhere in the station.
Burns: Contact!
Wallcroft: Baseplate, we got contact at Westminster Station!
Baseplate: Copy, Bravo 6. Teams are en route. ETA ten minutes.
Wallcroft: Tell 'em to double-time it now! C'mon, mate! Let's give these bastards a proper British welcome!
Burns: My pleasure!
Wallcroft and Burns coordinate and murder their way through Westminster Station. It seems this was the train's destination because of the large hostile presence there.
Wallcroft: Up the stairs! Grenade!
Burns picks up and throws the grenade back at a group of hostiles hunkered down in a kiosk at the top of the escalator.
Burns: Not today, ya cunts!
boom*
Wallcroft: Cheeky bastards!
After clearing the vendor stall and another set of escalators, Wallcroft and Burns regroup with Bravo 2, Alpha 1, Alpha 5 and the rest of Bravo 6 as the entire Vulture Squadron drops them off. As of the moment, Staff Sergeant Redgrave (Bravo 2-1/Redgrave in the original) of Bravo 2 is coordinating with local police to secure the area.
Vulture 2-2: All teams, be advised, the truck is headed your way and coming in hot.
Redgrave: Secure the area!
Wallcroft: Redgrave! What you got for us?
Redgrave: Wallcroft! Burns! The truck will be here any second! We need to lock this road down now!
Wallcroft: Everyone at the blockade! Stack up!
Redgrave: There's the truck! Weapons free!
Wallcroft: Aim for that bloody driver!
Burns: Got him! It's toppling over!
Redgrave: Hold your fire! Hold your fire! All clear?
Burns: Clear!!
Wallcroft: Baseplate, the lorry's down. We're secure. What's the status on the others? Baseplate, come in. Baseplate, where are the trucks?!
boom*
Burns: Ahh! Hang in there, Wallcroft! I got you!
Bravo 6-3: Contact!
Alpha 5-0: Where are they coming fro—!
Redgrave: Everyone's dropping like flies here! We are cut off! I say again, we are cut off!
Alpha 1-0: Everyone, get out of he—!
Burns: Are you still with me, Staff Sergeant?!
Wallcroft: Affirmative! All stations, Downing Street is within the contamination radius! I say again, Downing Street is within the contamination radius, over!
