Operation: Muschel Spiel
Code Name: Minerva

Location: Delhi, India

Admin: Dave

Agents: Caspian, Nighthawk, JC

Notes: Spike roof, catwalk in warehouse, “ugly girl/good looking girl”.  Briefing.

Injuries:Nighthawk out till 6/5/99

This mission begins in Istanbul, Turkey at the Ataturk International Airport. This location was only used as a gathering place for the beginning point of the mission. The bulk of the mission took place in Delhi, India. The above link will take you to a document that shows the first email message received by the agents and then the overview the agents got of the mission briefing (which was verbal) at Ataturk International Airport. I’ve added the note for the mission payment, XP, & timeline of the mission. When I first ran the mission, I managed to screw up the initial timeline, but it is corrected on the calendar and by notes in the file. This mission is where Rob uttered his great comment on the pretty girl vs. the ugly girl. The agents had been working for a couple of hours on a hastily scribbled map that I made of a certain area. When circumstances permitted, the agents finally moved off of the scribbled map and onto the “nice” big color map of the area where they ultimately would be going. At this point, Rob had us in stitches with his comment.
