Melody Jones, Pt. 3: Redemption

Dublin, Ireland

S.S Lorelei

"I'm almost there," Melody said to Cammy White of the Delta Red at the S.S Lorelei in Ireland. "How much time do I have left to plant the explosives?"

"Not long. My MI6 team is standing by. Recon has trucks being loaded in the South Cargo Bay. I'm sending in Nigel's team to check it out."

"Copy that. Heading to the North cargo hold now.

Melody jumped down from a crane and managed to plant the first C4 explosive on the corner from where she started.

"Cammy, first explosive is set."

"Good, set the rest of the three and get the hell out of there. Once you are finished, head to the shipping manifest and video tapes."

Melody made her move into the hull of the ship, taking out any shipmen along the way. She found another room full of containers and planted another C4. As she progressed, she saw two shipmen in the next container room conversing something about Suez. She eliminated them and planted the third C4. She then proceeded and found a elevador that took her up to the next level of the ship. She found an engineer but she planted the final C4. Progressing, she found a cook.

"Da hell is a cook doing here?" She thought to herself.

"The captain is busy now, but wants his food sent up immediately," said a operative. "This floor is off-limits, so use the dumbwaiter."

"Yes, sir."

Melody found herself in a kitchen of some sort until Cammy contacts her.

"Melody, I've intercepted a message from the ships's radio. The crew found the decoy you planted and locked down the engine room. They fell for. it."

"Sweet."

Melody proceeded and found a dumbwaiter. She carefully entered and found herself inside the captain's quarters.

"Melody, the captain is returning to his quarters. Eliminate him."

Melody made one good head shot to the captain and began searching for the video tapes. She found the shipping manifest and the video evidence. She left the quarters and backtracked her way to the cargo holds. She fought her way to the cargo holds. When she got there...

"Cammy, I'm at the cargo holds, but the crane is shut down."

"I'll handle it, but I need cover. Looks like we'll have some trouble."

"I got this."

Melody used her SR-25 to take out the troublesome shipmen. Cammy went into the control room to activate the crane.

"Going up?"

Melody got on the crane and joined Cammy in escaping the ship.
