Favors All Around: the second mission

Robert Lawson
Regional Director

Mission Summary
I received a call from Special Agent Hatfield this morning. It appears that the local FBI branch had located a terrorist cell and received the necessary authorization to strike. Unfortunately they didn't have enough agents available to do it the way they wanted. That's were the ICC came in. I sent one of our newest teams augmented by an agent formerly of the Russia branch (Ivan Antonov) and a young Japanese stunt woman with some useful associations (Yoko Tanaka). Agent Whyte was called away by a family emergency (see personnel).
The four agents arrived on the scene and liaised with Agent Halston, the agent in charge of the raid. Twelve suspects were inside the structure, and the ICC team was assigned to guard the rear exit. Half of the suspects attempted to escape past our agents, but none did. Resistance was fierce and violent; in total 7 suspects were killed, and 11 were shot while resisting arrest. Two of the captives were from those stopped by ICC agents. Two ICC agents and two FBI agents were injured in the raid, but none seriously. Special Agent in Charge Jones called later to thank the ICC as a whole and the team we sent in particular for their aid in this mission.
I've decided to leave Antonov and Tanaka with this team. They bring talents and skills that were lacking previously. Additionally, it is still unclear if Agent Whyte will be returning to active duty any time soon.
