>>>>>[The only really stupid/obvious thing my regular team ever did was
blow
up a block in Puyallup. The Johnson hired us to eliminate this fundie terrorist
group called 'The Wrath of God' or some such. The initial recon WAS subtle;
we're usually good at that sort of thing. Next to their church they had a six-
storey office building, and we found out through some astral recon that they
were keeping all their toys on the top floor. Mostly assault rifles and ammo,
and a few boxes...Anyway, Jackal whips up a shaped-charge, and I drop it on the
roof. We SERIOUSLY understimated the size of their arsenal. RPGs, explosives,
heavy weapons...We expected to take out the top two floors, at most, read about
the 'mysterious fire' in the screamsheets next day. Instead, we destroyed the
building, their church, and a great deal of the surrounding area.
While my team was USUALLY a model of sublety, some of the morons we hired on
occasion were something else. One group, in order to reach a contact in a
South American drug cartel, HIJACKED a sub-orbital and gave the passengers to
their contact as hostages-for payment of the info. They stole a boat to get
back, and were sunk by the CAS navy as drug-smugglers. Idiots. Another team,
during a hostile extraction, attacked a Lone Star patrol with AVMS, in BROAD
DAYLIGHT.
The crowning idiocy was the group that mounted a frontal assault on a Yakusa
stronghold. Makes a great story to tell over eggnog on a cold wintry
night...;)]<<<<<
