This is secret IC-
Parthian oil tanker, near New Stockholm, Swedish Dominions-
The tanker was fast approaching the Swedish coast, its tanks full of crude oil destined to burn in the combustion engines of Swedish cars. Under the tanks, at the stern of the ship, another "gift" to the Swedish people was being prepared for disembarking. The five Parthian 'Immortals' had been caged in the tiny room for the entire voyage with their equipment and a single Avesta for spiritual comfort, their only access to the outside was a hatch on the floor which led into the waters below the ship. Shahbaraz Terhani clenched his bag of gear uneasily as the news came in. "Delta team, come in... This is Lead 1, you are off the Swedish coast. Prepare to disembark!!!" The squad quickly put on their wetsuits and attached their bags to their backs. Sergeant Shahbaraz then spoke as the men were prepared for their mission-"My brothers, we are here today to bring about the end of the unfriendly monarchy of Swedish Dominions to bring about a new government that is friendly to our nation. Now we are to go complete this task." The ship slowed down to a stop as Shahbaraz opened the hatch. Shahbaraz placed the scuba mask on his face and jumped into the water five feet below swimming away from the ship towards the Swedish coastline. Each squad member thew themselves into the water and swam away from the ship towards the Rendez-Vous point on shore as the tanker sped off towards the port.
Ten miles outside New Stockholm, 12:00 AM-
Shahbaraz could feel the sandy ocean floor beneath his swimfins. The Parthian smiled when he spotted the blue SUV with its headlights on ahead, the rendez-vous point. He walked onto the beach with the surf pounding at his feet and walked towards the contact. Shahbaraz neared the middle aged contact and spoke: "Ctesiphon". The contact smirked..."Ah yes, please load your bag in the truck next to the 'package'." The other four 'Immortals' had waded ashore and walked towards their sergeant. The contact instructed the other agents to do the same and for everyone to get in the Ford Explorer to head to the contact's apartment, which overlooked their objective. The agents obeyed and soon SUV drove down the highway towards the buildings of New Stockholm ahead. It was a quick drive and soon the five agents sat in the living room of their contact, Khosru Aryanpur. Shahbaraz looked at the 'package', two SMAWs with high explosive warheads and five XM-8s. He hoped that the XM-8s would not be needed, an escape route into the sewers was planned and hopefully they would be out within a week.
10:00 AM-
Shahbaraz and one of his squad mates, Daryush Bahramzadah, each held a SMAW upon their shoulder overlooking the parade below. The other four Parthians were covering the stairway to the basement with their XM-8s and were supposed to flee once an explosion became audible. Daryush knew this mission was difficult, but he would have to succeed for his nation and people. Shahbaraz was confident, adjusting his sights as he saw the Kaiser's vehicle move down the road with motorcycle police to the sides and HMMWVs to the front and back. Philip I looked happy as Swedish crowds cheered him, his wife and infant daughter sat next to him... "it's a perfect little family" Daryush said in sadness. Shahbaraz knew that likewise of the family the objectives must be met, and with one final adjustment of the sights, he unleashed the missile into the Kaiser's car, destroying it in a ball of fire. Daryush opened fire on the HMMWV in front of the burning car, destroying it as the rocket punched through the armor and exploded inside the vehicle. The crowds below were thinned as people fled in terror or lay upon the ground dead or injured. With the confusion Daryush and Shahbaraz fled out of the room, and down the stairs to the basement. Deep under the building they removed the cover to the sewer and climbed down the ladder.
