Operation: not known
Code Name: not known

Location: Spokane, Washington USA

Admin: Rob

Agents: Longshot, Wraith, Highlander, and Mystery Man

Notes: Notes listed below for this mission can be found in the document “Plot II – The Wrath of Sean”. Original starting point of the calendar. 

Center for Cultural Development, Spokane, Washington.  Mission to recover special weapons captured from Longshot, Reaper, and Speed on a previous mission [which we won’t talk
about]. These included the twin silver-plated Lugers with Plates #1 & 2. Of course, everybody and their uncle went for it. Representing the Gem Lords, some thugs under Emerald
managed to get away with one of the Lugers (we don’t know which one). Of the Knights, Hernandez was captured by agents, questioned and killed. He had a Plate (#3) mounted in a
Thompson Contender, which was taken by Highlander.

Injuries: None

Who?: Highlander, Longshot, & Sam Gangee

Notes: not available

Injuries: not available

This mission was the very first one I ran.  Chauncey Enterprises had a silver mine in Gila, New Mexico.  A mysterious mine cave in had occurred that sealed the mine.  Soon after, another business operation called Vin Packaging sprung up across the Gila River approximately 2 miles away that was producing packing materials.  A trucking accident thereafter on one of the plant’s trucks, police recovered a small silver bar.  Suspicious of the new plant, Chauncey hires agents to go into the area and investigate what happened and to shut it down.  This mission became famous for players understanding about going into a mission during daylight hours versus at night.  The original map of that first mission is with this post.

So although I did not write down the agents code names, I do have the players names written down.  Since this was so long ago I am making an educated guess as to the characters that the players played.

Operation: none assigned
Code Name: none assigned

Location: Albania

Admin: Rob

Agents: Longshot, Wraith, Highlander, Mystery Man

Notes:  Briefing. Notes listed below for this mission can be found in the document “Plot II – The Wrath of Sean”.

Ruby Shipping yards, Tirana, Albania. Mission to recover book Voyages to Oblivion by Istal Farok, which reputedly has a map of Shaemon’s voyage. It was sold to Kalter (thought to
be Ruby), and was in transit to Tunisia when we all thought it would be a good idea to steal it. Ruby’s henchman el Bacti was present, and killed. Special Guest Swordsman was none other
than McVie himself, accompanied by several of Parnell’s men. Some of the Fires showed [hereafter referred individually as “Flickers”] and had in their possession the Ruby symbol of
power and a sword book thought to have been lost at Alexandria. The first was taken by Longshot, and the second is floating. Voyages was returned to the original owner, Bhutan.

Injuries:Mystery Man till 2/1/92, Longshot & Wraith till 4/25/92, Highlander till 4/8/92

Operation: Oceania
Code Name: Swallow

Location: Singapore

Admin: Dave

Who?: Reaper, BC, Highlander, Longshot

Notes: Briefing

Injuries: not available

Mission was to obtain information on Jambi Batu and/or his activities; Rescue any E.R.I.C. or E.S.T.E.L.L.E. personnel; obtain any exotic weaponry. Agents were traveling by boat and had to slip off the boat and go in underwater and swim in.

This mission is the first of 3 (Swallow, Umbrella, & Vireo) that has close ties to each other. The dates and certain verbiage written in the mission briefings don’t exactly correspond properly. I think that this was due to when they were run in real time versus TS time and when the TS calendar was started. After digging into all data points extensively, as the admin of all of these missions, I have made some adjustments to more closely correspond to known data on the TS Calendar as well as the documents in my folders for each of these missions. In some cases, certain dates may not match the info in the briefing. However, I think that this research is more closely aligned to all of these missions from the early 1990’s.

Operation: none assigned
Code Name: none assigned

Location: Italy

Admin: Kevin

Agents: Reaper, Ishmael, Socrates, Delta, Longshot, Wraith, Highlander, Redfire, BC

Notes: Briefing

Injuries: Delta till 6/1/92, Longshot till 6/15/91, Wraith till 6/15/91, Highlander till 6/15/91, Redfire till 6/10/91, B.C. till 7/29/91

On my character sheet for this mission, I have a note that this was an attempt at the record kill amount.  The mission briefing has a typo in the year of the mission.  It was 1992, not 1991.  Actually, the “real” time of the mission was in 1991.

Location: Denmark

Agents: Longshot, Wraith, Highlander, Mystery Man

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

Mental Asylum, Denmark.  Mission to abduct Pitor Crispo, one of the inmates, and reputedly the only man alive who knows what the map of Shaemon looked like.  Asylum ran by Flickers, who had bows with special exploding and incendiary arrows.  Killed the Fire of Roelant.  Recovered target.

Injuries:Longshot till 7/4/92, Wraith till 7/5/92

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.
