"Bonfire, Ember element, going internal" that's the response of a Cold Harbor team leader as a team of operators entered a warehouse somewhere in Yemen. Few minutes later, as the warehouse is secured they tagged the crates with an interesting name...
As Ember and Umbra elements withdrew from the AO and made their getaway, they returned to their base somewhere in Yemen. There, the "Crisis Troops" met and crack some cold ones for a job well done on their respective parts with Ember dilly-dallying about their objective and their firefights with HCLI bodyguards. While Umbra explained their ambush and the clean slate order, to which Ember just scoffed it off and said "It's part of the job" followed by "All kill, no capture".
(I will use nicknames for it is easier to remember, and some characters not part of lore hence the O/C names)
As the 2 CT Team leaders walked to the operations room for a debrief they had a chat along the way
Hornet: So, how'd you execute that ambush?
English: Well, Polaris coincidentally carried an AT4 at the time. Originally the plan was to get there early and plant some claymores before the convoy arrived at the AO.
Hornet: Hmm, y'all got lucky with that, hell my boys just got a "not so great" firefight that we wanted...they fall too quick for a bodyguard.
Hornet states with disappointment of not being able to feel the thrill of the fight.
Hornet: If I had to compare them to a Shadow Emirate insurgent, I'd rather take on Red.
The 2 squad leaders gave off a laugh and talked about their respective team mates, once they reached the operations room it's a whole different mood, there sits the people behind their radios.
[REDACTED] - Callsign: "Bonfire" and [REDACTED] - Callsign: "Roundtable"
"Bonfire" : Good to see you both in one piece.
"Roundtable" : Might as well say the same thing, that aside we got to talk about those bodyguards you terminated.
Hornet: First off, we always are in one piece, second those HCLI guards are like amateur contractors...at least for an arms company.
English: The board did call for a wipe of the incident, covering up for the sake of laying low?
"Roundtable": Cold Harbor wanted no inclusion with the incident, besides to take on an arms company? We deal with hit lists not shopping lists.
Hornet: *chuckles* Anyways, still giving the after action report...
