[SOAP] Skyspear Control to Longshot, status update.
[R7] Control, this is Longshot Actual. We have sightlines on Chimay, but no visual on Tango One.
[SOAP] Safety check?
[R7] We cannot guarantee anyone's safety yet. We've already taken sniper fire.
[SOAP] We can have a Guardian team ready to deploy in a heartbeat.
[A5] Control, Longshot Two. Do not recommend it. Reef intel says Iriks hijacked a disposal barge which had Light-suppression tech on board. Could put Guardians and their Ghosts in danger.
[R7] Confirmed, Control. Let us take the risk.
[SOAP] Acknowledged, Longshot. Captain is in the loop.
[R7] Longshot Actual to all points. Sitrep.
[A5] Longshot Two. Standby, my Ghost just spotted something.
[R7] All points, hold sitrep. In your own time, Two.
[pause]
[sound of sniper rifle firing]
[A5] That's a bingo, Actual.
[R7] Is that a confirmed kill on Tango One?
[A5] Negative, Actual. Enemy Psion, not Eliksni, repeat, not Eliksni.
[R7] Acknowledged, Two. All points, resume sitrep.
[LUNA] Longshot Three, have visual on Tango's ketch. Lot of activity. I think Iriks may be getting ready to do a runner.
[HAL] Four, can confirm. Loading treasure into ketch hold. Sighting of ketch bridge crew in prep.
[LUNA] I have a shot lined up on their engineering deck, Actual. Say the word, I can put a Golden Sniper round through it. Cripple their escape.
[HAL] Have shot lined up on comm array.
[R7] Standby, Three and Four. Longshot Five?
[sound of Psion vocalization]
// TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Longshot Five is Imperial Cabal Psion, designate "Qulai," who at this time does not speak Sol Common. Wachter, an unattached Ghost, is working as their spotter and translator. I am not yet familiar enough with Psion verbal language to provide translation. --MIL-921
[wac] Five reports enemy sniper has us sighted.
[sound of distant wire rifle firing]
[wac] Confirmed! We're under fire!
[R7] Standby, Five. Repositioning!
[sound of footsteps, rustling of cloak]
[R7] Actual to Five, can see shooter's position, will draw their attention. No clear shot.
[sound of Psion vocalization]
[wac] Five acknowledges. Ready to move.
[R7] And... go!
[sound of scout rifle fire, psion armor booster jet firing]
[wac] Five in position. Has line of sight on shooter.
[R7] Soon as you have a shot, Five, you take it!
[sound of Psion vocalization]
[wac] Five acknowledges.
[sound of Psion Headhunter rifle firing]
[wac] Shooter is down.
[R7] Acknowledged, Five. I can see the shooter. Looks like they're a Salvie sniper, not Iriks.
[A5] Actual, I'm seeing a lot of movement inside that lair. And--
[sound of distant Eliksni klaxon]
[A5] --yes, I'm hearing alarms. They know we're here.
[R7] Actual to all points, eyes up. Four, take the shot.
[sound of wire rifle firing]
[HAL] Enemy comm array is down. Can see enemy ketch spooling up their guns.
[SOAP] Skyspear Control to Longshot. We're seeing it. We have our guns ready to disarm them. Captain says to take out their engines, Longshot Three.
[LUNA] Acknowledged, Control.
[sound of Golden Gun activation, sniper rifle firing]
[distant sound of explosion]
[LUNA] Ha ha! That ketch isn't going anywhere in a while!
[SOAP] Control to Longshot, we're intercepting localized enemy comm chatter. Tango One is trying to dig in. His crew's panicking.
[R7] Longshot Actual to all points, check your vectors.
[sound of repeated, distant wire rifle fire]
// TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: There is a great deal of cross-talk and gunfire overlaying the next section. I've done my best to parse it. --MIL-921
[A5] Eyes up, eyes up! We're taking fire!
[wac] Lot of movement down there! Anyone have eyes on Tango One?
[LUNA] I see him, god damn he's fast! I can't line up a shot!
[R7] That's not normal. C'mon, you bastard, hold still--
[LUNA] Trying to line up a--
[sound of wire rifle shot penetrating armor]
[LUNA] (cry of pain) I'm hit!
[A5] Fall back, Luna, we can take care of this--
[LUNA] Hell with that! I can still shoot!
[sound of Psion vocalization]
[wac] Relic! Five says there's a relic in play!
[A5] I see it--
[R7] Can't line up a shot--
[HAL] Drop flash, drop flash--
[LUNA] On it! Flash prepped--
[R7] All points, distraction fire on my go--
[A5] [HAL] [wac] (overlapping) Set!
[R7] Three! Two! One!
[sound of multiple sniper rifles firing]
[LUNA] Eyes down, flash out!
[sound of distant flashbang grenade detonation]
[enemy wire rifle fire halts]
[A5] He's stunned! He's stunned!
[R7] Someone take that relic off his waist!
[HAL] Got it!
[sound of wire rifle firing, distant sound of object clattering on floor]
[R7] Relic's down!
[A5] He's coming around! We gotta take him down!
[R7] All points, if you have the shot, take it!
[LUNA] I have the shot!
[sound of Golden Gun activation, sniper rifle firing]
[pause]
[R7] Control, this is Longshot Actual. Jackpot. Repeat: Jackpot. Tango One is down.
[SOAP] Acknowledged, Longshot. Maintain overwatch, we'll send in a ground team to sweep the lair, make sure there's no more surprises.
[R7] Copy, Control. Actual to all points, re-secure your vectors. Longshot Three and Five, you keep an eye on the ketch and its crew. Longshot Two and Four, you're with me, keeping watch on the lair.
[pause]
[R7] Well done, everyone.
[SOAP] Control to Longshot, echo that. Ground team transmatting in now. Captain says "Damn fine shooting."
