Another day, another anti-EXALT op. Maj. Gunda contacted us right on schedule - she'd discovered that they were operating out of a used bookstore in Ponthierry, with comm relays set up both there and in the liquor store next door.
We had a new operative join us for this mission - Captain Jacques 'Magic Man' Moreau, a support specialist from the French Naval Commandos. He had arrived three days prior, shortly after our previous mission in Paris (ref: AAR - Operation: SPECTRAL SENTINEL), and had volunteered to become our second MEC pilot.
Needless to say, we acquiesced; we could hardly refuse, given recent hospitalizations - and a second MEC-2 on the battlefield provided just the edge we needed.
Operation: CRYPTIC SENTINEL
Anti-EXALT Operation (Covert Extraction) - Ponthierry, Saint-Fargeau-Ponthierry, France
Covert operative:
Maj. Lehana 'Fast Lane' Gunda
Extraction team:
Col. Christophe 'Bull' Leroy
Maj. Gabriel 'Delta-2' Flores
Maj. Ye 'Hex' Song (piloting MEC-2 'Sentinel')
Cpt. Jacques 'Magic Man' Moreau (piloting MEC-2 'Sentinel')
Cpt. Anatoli 'Twitch' Korba
Cpt. Emily 'Cairo' Johnson
Strike-One touched down in the parking lot of the liquor store; after making contact with Maj. Gunda, the squad set about securing the area. Col. Leroy and Cpt. Korba took point, heading for the bookstore, while Majs. Song and Flores engaged an EXALT squad that had been hiding in the liquor store.
During this firefight, Maj. Gunda sneaked into the bookstore and hacked into the comm relay that EXALT had set up; she completed her task just as a second EXALT squad arrived. This second squad was promptly engaged - first by Cpt. Moreau, who put his MEC's grenade launcher to good use, then by Maj. Gunda and Cpt. Korba.
Β With the second squad eliminated, Cpt. Moreau moved to the rear of the bookstore, using his MEC to provide mobile cover for Maj. Gunda; this tactic proved to be most effective, as it defeated an ambush by a third EXALT strike team that had set up behind some dumpsters along the back wall.
With their positions given away, Col. Leroy and Maj. Song moved in to provide additional support; Col. Leroy killed one EXALT trooper and seriously injured a second (whom Maj. Gunda subsequently neutralized), while Maj. Song dispatched the third with his kinetic strike module.
A brief lull in the combat followed, which Strike-One put to good use, escorting Maj. Gunda to the second comm relay and covering her while she accessed it.
This, however, alerted a fourth EXALT strike team, which assaulted the liquor store from both the front and the rear; while the forward element was swiftly dispatched before it could engage, a sniper from the rear element managed to get off a shot which caused some minor damage to Cpt. Moreau's MEC.
This tactical error on EXALT's part allowed Maj. Gunda to reach the Skyranger unharmed; with the Major (and her data) secured, the extraction team focused on mopping up the EXALT forces before departing the AO.
Promotions:
Maj. Gunda was promoted to Colonel.
Commander's Personal Note
The intel gathered on this mission was fairly valuable; it helped us rule out several more countries, though it still leaves us with more possible locations than I would have liked. Still, small progress is better than no progress...
