The Queen of the Orient is a cruise ship owned by a company named “Jewel Lines”. Jewel Lines is a subsidiary of a parent company called Oriental Business Interests (OBI).

Once docked, the ship is scheduled to fuel, then leave port at 12:15 PM local time. Cruise for two hours then return to port.

April 16, 1993

Operation: Malacca
Code Name: Wren

Location: Singapore

Admin: Dave

Agents: J.C., Longshot, Slick, Speed, Wraith, Redfire

Notes: Briefing

Injuries: Speed till 5/15/93, Longshot till 5/15/93, Slick till 5/29/93, J.C. till 5/29/93, Highlander/Mystery Man/&Reaper healed on 5/30/93

Rescue mission for Highlander, Mystery Man, and Reaper. Agents recovered!! So on an interesting side note, I have a copy of Agent Mystery Man’s packing list in my mission file.  I also have a note on that list that says that the owner of the character, Mystery Man, declares that he is dead.  I also have a note that the owner of that character was moving across the country to another state so that may have influenced his comment at the time.  However, a check of the calendar reveals that Agent Mystery Man comes back on a mission in August of 1996. So. . .

This mission is related to three others (Swallow, Umbrella, & Vireo) that were previously run, mainly due to the location. In the briefing, there is a statement that some of the agents were there previously “in July 1991”. Again, this ties back to the date issues mentioned in the three previous related missions.

July 12, 1993

Operation: none assigned
Code Name: none assigned

Location: Stonewall Jackson Lake

Admin: Rob

Agents: J.C., Redfire, Delta, Wraith

Notes:  Notes listed below for this mission can be found in the document “Plot II – Update 92-93”.

Stonewall Jackson Lake, West Virginia.  Ransom delivery.  Schuyler Colfax VI, direct descendant of the Vice President to U.S. Grant, hired agents to rescue his ten-year-old son, Schuyler Colfax VII.  To be used for exchange, if necessary, the agents were given the Grand Eagle sword [see Parts List].  Two Diamond thugs were present.  A dozen Flickers and two Flames were disguised as men, and with them was de Wolf.  The boy was found decapitated.  The sword is back in the hands of Colfax VI, who is resentful toward agents.

I have a note on my packing list that says “Sent note w/flowers to boys’ funeral.”

Injuries: J.C. till 8/5/93,

 

July 17, 1993

Operation: none assigned
Code Name: none assigned

Location: Richmond

Admin: Charles

Agents: Reaper, Redfire, Delta

Notes: Briefing.

Injuries: Reaper (ears)-hear on Sept 11, 1993 , Delta (ears)-hear on Oct 2, 1993, Redfire till 8/6/93

So this mission had lots of “fun” stuff going on.  On my character sheet, it has all kinds of interesting tidbits.  My reminder note of the mission was “My head’s in Mississippi, but my ears are scattered across the James River”.  I also have notes that say “Scrag the Wench” and “Sister” and “4 of Wands!!”.  This last reference, I believe was related to a group of NPC’s from Charles’ TS universe called ICON.
