Song of the day: Handclap by Fitz and the Tantrums

"And so... that's what happened." concluded Nathan, munching on his breakfast omelette and surrounded by the Rainbow operators. "I don't believe you." (Ash) "He's telling the truth." (Caveira) "Finally awake? Took you long enough, the coffee I made for you's already ice cold." (Nathan) "Thanks," said Taina sweetly, before slapping Nathan. "That's for disregarding your life!" (Zofia) "Ah, who cares? We're all safe, we got Six's man out safely, it's a win-win. Just like my old man used to say: as long as it works, we're good. It worked, we're safe, so we're good." (Nathan) "Jesus, I can't argue with you." (Cav) "The following operators please report to my office: all Blackjack mercenaries, Hibana, Tachanka, Ying." (Six over PA) "Well, I hope nothing's up." (Jyn)

Of course something's wrong. A hostage mission had gone wrong, and now Fuze, Ela, and Ash were taken hostage. "The White Masks are holding them in a convoy, and it was tearing across the Himalayas. The convoy will reach a White Mask base in approximately 4 hours. It is composed of 4 armoured trucks, and dozens of armed Hummers and jeeps. Imagine Hummers and jeeps with gatling guns and M2 HMGs." "So... how do we infiltrate a moving convoy?" (Tachanka) Six simply grins and winks at Blackjack. "We're not driving our cars are we?" (Nathan) "Yes you god damn are, if you don't want to lose 3 operators." (Six) "Fine, let's go to the garage." (Katrina)

"Welcome to our garage, or as we call, Heaven." (Nathan) The operators stepped inside, and were immediately blown away by the cars. (A/N: imagine tuners tricked out for off-road with kick-ass body kits) All cars had a sticker of a blackjack hand on the hood.

The cars:

Nathan: '19 Kia Stinger GT

Katrina: '20 Subaru BRZ

Jyn: '81 Porsche 911 SC

Hans: '17 Ford Focus RS

Bess: '70 Plymouth Barracuda

Cheng: '16 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X

T.J: '07 BMW Z4

"Woah... you guys have obviously put a lot of hard work into these cars." "No shit Sherlock. When I found my 'Cuda, it was just a rusty shell with wheels and no engine. It took me months to get it to what it looks like now." "What size is that big block, a 5.3?" "6.1" "Wait... is that... did you...?" "Yes, my good sir, it's completely what it looks like: a supercharged Mercedes V12 stuffed into a Kia. Had to enlarge the engine bay though." "Nice blower." "Thanks, it's from the '70 Charger R/T, the Fast and Furious one." "Which car cost you guys the most?" "The BRZ. It was quite cheap stock, but the mods cost me a lot." "Ooh, procharger!" "Yeah, best thing since sliced bread."

"Guys, chop chop! We've got people to save!" said Nathan, gunning his V12. "Wait, your cars are bulletproof right?" (Tachanka) In response, Nathan grabbed the DP27 from Tachanka and sprayed a whole magazine into his own car. The glass didn't even crack. The crew drove outside to find a cargo plane (imagine the GTA V cargo plane) waiting for them. "Get in, we haven't got all day." (pilot) They got in, and the cargo plane took off.

"Uh... Six, we're getting close to the convoy, but how are we gonna get our cars down there?" (Nathan over Zoom) "There are vehicle parachutes on this plane. Strap them to your roofs. You're skydiving with cars." (Six) "Isn't this like that scene from..." (Jyn) "Shut up Jyn, copyright issues!" (author, aka me) "Oh ok fine... you're no fun." (Jyn)
