Admin: Dave

Who?: Highlander, Longshot

Notes: not available

Injuries: not available

Mission was to go to Carlisle, Pennsylvania.  Agents are to go to a bar called Gaul’s.  They were to look for a contact named Jarrod Hannekamp.  He was to meet the agents at that location at 9:00AM.  (Yeah, I know. A little early to be drinking.) If he doesn’t show, there are other locations and dedicated times they are to meet him at around Carlisle.  The agents are to recover Jarrod and bring him in.  Just another little side mission in between bigger events.

Raven

Operation: Allah
Code Name: Raven

Location: Beirut, Lebanon

Who?: Rob, Greg, Roger (w/surprise guests Charles & Mitch)

Notes: Briefing

Injuries: not available

This mission had a lot of objectives.  Some of the main ones were “If Maria el-Zawi is present—Kill Her!!”, find information & destroy operations.  Some players reading this might ask, “Hmm, I wonder if this is THE Beirut mission”.  No, this is not the mission you are looking for.  We had a very intense mission that I ran way before this that happened to be located in the same area in Beirut.

Crystal Skull

Crystal Skull

Admin: Dave

Who?: Greg, Charles, Rob, Phil, Dave, Ray (on pt. 1 of mission)

Notes: Briefing

Injuries: not available

Mission was to tail a noted archaeologist, Anita Caban to her destination.  The agency expected the agents to be able to find info on the new de Corumba organization, rescue an agency mole named Jose Mirada, assure that no harm comes to Anita Caban, and acquire any interesting and/or exotic weaponry.  The agency indicated that they expect it to be highly likely that the agents will be in or near ancient ruins. The Mexican and Guatemalan governments have expressed their desire for any artifacts to be returned to them as national treasures.

This mission was one of my favorites to run.  I spent a long time painstakingly creating the various locations in the ruins along with ancient traps.  Think Indiana Jones stuff.

Penguin

Operation: South of the Border
Code Name: Penguin

Location: Lima, Peru

Admin: Dave

Who?: Highlander, Ice, Wild Dog, Bubbles, Ishmael, & Shadow

Notes: Briefing

Injuries: not available

Mission was to go to Peru, recover any survivors of a plane crash.  As part of this mission, they had to attend a lavish black tie affair at the home of Manuel de Corumba and obtain any information about the crash and/or any survivors.

On this briefing, I left the little diagram I did of the table we were sitting at and where the players were sitting.  I believe that Charles & I traveled clear down to St. Mary’s county near a naval base to visit friends of his from his days at college when he used to play TS with them.  I didn’t really know these people.  However, it was one of the very rare times we had an actual female at the gaming session!  I believe she was the girlfriend of one of the players but I don’t remember who.  I don’t remember specifics about her I just have a general memory that she was a very attractive young lady.  Oh, her character was Bubbles; not Wild Dog.
