Operation Ironclad

We're currently in a synchropter Warbird equipped with a clocking device great for this type of op. We're about to board a cargo ship currently on the South Atlantic heading to Somalia. To be honest, I am kinda excited about this mission. Why? The dangers of it. Since it's my first Op ever, makes my blood pumping and heart racing. We made every preparation necessary for this Op, and hopefully, I don't fuck it up since this isn't the simulation anymore, feel kinda nervous but, what am I even saying?! I can do this.

In the Synchropter, Gaz pulls out a holographic model of the cargo ship we're about to board.

"Everyone seeing this? Alright. We have actionable intel that the cargo ship is holding one of our four operatives other than that, they also have the package we aim to obtain."~Gaz.

"Great, this makes our job easy. Kill two birds with one stone."~Ajax.

Ajax said jokingly.

"There is a small crew and security detail on board, don't know what organizations these guys are and we are about to find out."~Gaz.

"We are approaching the cargo ship in 60 seconds, guys."~Rina.

I started to feel nervous all of a sudden.

"Check your gear, check coms. And try not to get us killed out there, eh rookie?"~Gaz.

"Don't worry about that Gaz, he won't. Believe in him."~Elle.

Good to hear that words coming from Elle. *Sigh* But I'm still nervous, as fuck. I can do this. Yes, I can!

Our synchropter quietly hovered on top of the cargo ship Bridge. I am amazed our synchropter rotor spins modestly, not that loud even the crews on the ship didn't notice.

"Ironclad this is Osiris Zero-Two, radio check. Go to secure channel."~Bishop.

"All Checked."~Griffen.

"Affirm. We have visuals on the target."~Bishop.

"Remember, rookie use your boosters to slow your descent when hitting the ground."~Gaz.

"Noted."~Jackson.

"Ready Jackson?".~Ajax.

I respond by nervously nodding at him. Time to get serious. Here goes nothing.

"Green light! Go go go!".~Rina.

We decent on top of the bridge and made our way down the captain's cabin. We stack at the captain's cabin hatch, as I am about to open the hatch, Griffen stopped me and quickly asks.

"Rule of Engagement Gaz?"~Griffen.

"Crew expendable."~Gaz.

A flash grenade is thrown in, disorienting the enemy, we quickly burst in and swiftly eliminating the enemy stealthly inside including the captain maning the ship.

"Threat neutralized."~Ajax.

Ajax said calmly.

"Hold on, aren't this guys are a mix of UON and ACG?"~Elle.

"Interesting."~Griffen.

"A what now?~Jackson.

UON and ACG? I know what ACG is, but UON? ACG is basically a global terroris organization that is a very extreme anti corporation group, a pain in the arse to my mother's company.

"Worry about that later, focus on what's in hand. Elle, Griffen and Ajax. Elle you stay here in the captain's cabin. Griffen and Ajax you two will be clearing the back of the ship, Elle steer the ship if you have to."~Gaz.

"Eh?"~Elle.

"Affirm."~Ajax and Griffen.

"Jackson, Rina. You two with me."~Gaz.

Oh crap. Wish I can exchange places with Elle.

"On it!" said Rina enthusiastically.

While I'm not that enthusiastic like Rina, I have no choice but to follow. We head down from the captain's cabin to the free board area of the ship encountering multiple enemy but can be easily be eliminated, since all of them are conventionally equip without any exo suits. Intel indicates that the operative captured are being held in a shipping container, but there like dozens of different containers here. The Intel didn't specify which container sadly.

"There's surely a lot of containers here not sure if we want to open them all."~Jackson.

"Opening them all? Pfft..That's such, hassle rookie. Rina, dear can you contact Bishop?"~Gaz.

"On it. Bishop, this is Ironclad requesting thermal scan on these containers, please."~Rina.

"Osiris zero-two, request granted."~Bishop.

I didn't notice the warbird till it declock itself. It literally circling the ship providing us with air support and recon.

"I pick up three heat signatures coming from from the Humanitarian aid container."~Bishop.

"Humanitarian aid container? The heck?."~Jackson.

"Anything else? The package maybe? Enemies?"~Rina.

"Negative on the package, negative on hostiles too."~Bishop.

"Hmm...three heat signatures kinda out. Bishop try scanning the other containers , might find the other team. Lets check this one out."~Gaz.

"Copy that."~Bishop.

We went over to the container, the container colored in white, kinda rusty cause of the elements. I open the container slowly, it made a creek, the smell of rust from within, but then we found them. They doesn't look lik—wait, hold on. Somethings wrong.
