Notes: Briefing(s)

US Government is outsourcing the operation of this mission to this agency.  Agents were to report to JFK Airport in New York and was part of the next US Embassy staff in Moscow.  Mission objectives included infiltrate a research facility; kidnap a Dr. Milanovich; retrieve hardware, software, lab notes, and other documents of Artificial Intelligence (AI) work; obtain any other intelligence on Russian scientific & military activities, and install network snoop transmitter.  I noticed in preparing the pdf file for this mission that in my notes, I have 3 different briefings labeled #1, #2, & #3.  Although I have no notes indicating this, I’m wondering if that was due to agents getting different briefings?  The only difference in the briefings was each one had a slightly different mission add on.

September 3, 1996

Operation: none assigned

Code Name: none assigned

Location: Scotland

Admin: Rob

Agents: Tomahawk, Nighthawk, Delta, Highlander, Longshot

Notes: not available

Injuries: Don’t know about others but Delta took some damage. Unclear from my notes exactly how much.

Sometimes I write notes on my character packing list.  For this mission I have “Rob’s Estate Mission”, “Palamino”, “Hot”, & “Kuckamango”.  Don’t ask me. I do have an attachment that has a list of 8 questions.  Some of the questions ask things about “what do they hunt?” Asking about a man named “Stauron Gries”.  A mention of someone named “Bailey”.  Multiple questions about girls at the estate.  I wonder if this was a rescue mission and this is the infamous mission where someone was shooting at a box that was brought out and we thought it might be the girls but it was something else.  Rob commented that he wished he’d thought of that.
