Briefing

I don’t think anyone was expecting what you uncovered. That amount of military-grade hardware shouldn’t have been a surprise, and that’s got people worried. NSA, CIA, and DIA are swapping a lot of data now, and a picture’s emerging. Prugova’s part of a hard-line faction inside Russia called the Raven’s Rock druzhina. We’re still working the connections, but this thing runs deep. In the meantime, Langley says Raven’s Rock is moving a top-grade system into the hands of some truly bad people.

I’ll tell you up front, this op is a bad idea. You know it, I know it … and we’ll do it anyway. We’ll be deep inside Russian territory with zero margin for error. Ops don’t get any higher risk than this. But the risk this gear poses if it slips through is even greater. So let’s make damn sure we do it the right way.
