Lord Archon Wraith, advisor to the Emperor and leader of CIOP, an intelligence agency that also occasionally took on a special forces role, stood at the front of the boat. "Allright, soldiers - ou know the mission, but I'll recap. We are to infiltrate the nation, find a prison camp, and hit hard and fast. This boat, and the three others, should be able to move all of the imprisoned, and we can then move to a safe location for extraction. However, teh number of people and the fact that we must slip under the radar means that we have a complete crew of only twenty soldiers - the best in the Empire, but still only twenty. That means silenced weapons only, and we only hit those who can't communicate with other guards at the time or relay a signal, and who won't be found soon. A team will take care of insertion, and will consist of fourteen of you, plus the Ensign, who will lead. I will command B team - we'll be covering you with snipers, and watching the area to ensure that noone gets the drop on you. With the East Islandians attacking, we'll have some cover and confusion among the enemy, but we'll also have to deal with heightened communication, most likely. That is all." The leader examined his rifle, ensurign that it was ready. It was a customized .50 calibur magnum sniper rifle, intended for anti-vehicuar use but also effective against infantry. It wasn't easy to silence such a rifle, because of the force exerted on the suppressor, but Wraith had purchased the necessary gear from his own pocket. A holster strapped to his leg held a 9mm Glock pistol. The rest of his team used smaller calibur rifles, standard anti-infantry fare, and similar sidearms. The boat hit the shore, and the soldiers quickly and efficiently moved off, towards the nearest prison facilty. It was over 50 miles, but the Personell Transports covered the distance in an hour and a half. They would have enough room, with a member of the squad driving each, to take back those held in the prison, since this one wasn't very large and was only recently being used. Once back to the ships, they would have to destroy the vehicles, because there would nto be enough room to take them back and they could not fall into enemy hands, as the Anikan Empire was taking no official action.
