Operation Subito


I've finally gotten the hang of my scanner.
Its clunky, tends to bug out sometimes... you'd think the Enlightened would be better at patching Resistance tech. But hey, it gets the job done.

After four days of hacking the portals into overheat and gathering items, I've decided to do my first raid. I've kept my head down so far, but its time to let ThreeKingRiots know that I'm here, and that I mean business.

Operation Subito is a GO.
What follows is an excerpt from the operations report.

Target:
US Post Office
E.Georgia Ave
Ruston, LA

Defenses:
4 L1 Resonators

Strategic Importance:
Control Field [ Lincoln Parish Museum , Statue ]
Control Field [ Lincoln Parish Museum , Lincoln Parish Library ]

Operation Type:
Mop & Control

Notes:
Target has been softened by Agent MacGuyver20

Debriefing:

AxiumCog:
This was supposed to be a simple operation. Agent MacGuyver20 had already softened the target. Apparently his arsenal went dry and was unable to finish the job. I was to go in and complete the task and take the point.

EO:
What happened?

AxiumCog:
The area was a ghost town. It was 0130, no traffic, no bystanders. Perfect. No risk of collateral damage. I fired off my arsenal of L1XMP's. I had enough for the job, but on the last firing, the scanner patch failed and significant drift caused the attack to miss. At that point I was an AL1. I had retrieved some L2XMP's from a hack en route to the location, but didn't have clearance to use them.

EO:
Your solution?

AxiumCog:
I burned out every portal in town in an attempt to retrieve some more XMP's. No luck. Considered getting in touch with Agent valon0388 to organize a drop.

EO:
Why didn't you?

AxiumCog:
I realized it was 0200 and he was under comm silence for another operation.

EO:
And what did you do then?

AxiumCog:
Every Enlightened One's duty: improvise. I got in touch with Intel and found two neighboring towns with portals, also belonging to ThreeKingRiots. They were each 15 minutes away and in opposite directions. The first town wasnt any luck. Found some resonators and a few keys, which are nice.
It was the second town that laid the golden egg.

EO:
So you went back to the target then?

AxiumCog:
Yes. Got within range and set off the XMP. The portal went down like a rock. I heard a sonic boom and the two fields associated with the point disintegrated. I got a notification from central that I had been promoted to AL2 for my actions. They had seen the field fall. I deployed the resonators on the portal, and some shields I had. Was able to upgrade four of the resonators to L2's thanks to the access promotion.

EO:
Mission accomplished then?

AxiumCog:
More or less. But I deviated.

EO:
Deviated?

AxiumCog:
Well, I had a fairly large stock of L2XMP's, and there was another target that was fairly weak, though it holds minimal strategic value. But I went for it. The portal dropped within 30 seconds and I was able to get my resonators on it before it became unstable.

EO:
So you took the objective, and hit a ToO?

AxiumCog:
Yes sir.

EO:
Do you have anything else to add?

AxiumCog:
No sir.

EO:
Good work Agent. Debrief is over. Get some food and rest. Its been a long night.

AxiumCog:
That is has.
