To: Alpha Subdivision, Xerosil’s Stealth Operators
From: Command Division, REDACTED
Subject: Execution of Hostage Operation and Secure Hiding in the Forest
Confidentiality Note: This order contains highly sensitive operational instructions. It must be followed precisely and discussed only with authorized personnel to maintain operational security.
Date: Skyfire 17th
1. Mission Objective
Your mission is to secure key hostages within Thalassiril’s territory and safely transport them to a predetermined hiding location in the forest. This operation is to be executed swiftly and without raising alarm. The hostages are to be held only as a precautionary measure and will be dealt with upon REDACTED’s orders.
2. Execution Instructions
-
Hostage Selection:
- Target individuals who are influential, or their loved ones, within Thalassiril or possess critical knowledge of their defenses.
- Avoid unnecessary harm to the hostages during apprehension; the aim is to secure information, not to engage in combat. Harming a hostage may inadvertently leave behind clues.
-
Apprehension and Transport:
- Employ non-lethal methods to take hostages into custody.
- Use silent takedown techniques and gags to prevent noise and alerting Thalassiril forces of your presence.
- Transport the hostages by foot to minimize detection, utilizing cover and concealment at all times.
-
Hiding Location Preparation:
- Proceed to the designated secure location in the forest.
- Ensure the area is cleared of any signs of recent activity and is suitable for holding the hostages without detection.
- Establish a defensible perimeter with hidden surveillance points to maintain watch over the hostages.
-
Hostage Care:
- Treat the hostages well enough to ensure their survival at a minimum.
- Monitor the health and morale of the hostages, providing them with essentials only as needed. Use your resources sparingly.
-
Communication Protocols:
- Maintain radio silence except for emergency situations or when receiving further instructions from command.
- Use pre-arranged signal methods to communicate with your commanding officer, ensuring that all signals are cryptic and untraceable.
3. Security Measures
-
Stealth Operations:
- Maintain operational secrecy at all times. Discuss the mission only with members of your subdivision.
- Stay aware of your surroundings, watching for any signs of enemy activity that could compromise your position or the safety of the hostages.
-
Emergency Protocols:
- In case of detection or an emergency situation, proceed to the designated extraction point and await rescue.
- Leave a false trail if necessary to mislead Thalassiril forces away from your actual location.
4. Command Authority
- The subdivision commander has the final say on all decisions during this operation. Follow their lead without question, trusting in their expertise and the collective strategy of our forces.
End of Order
Note to Subdivision: Your actions in this operation are critical to our strategic positioning. The lives of the hostages and the success of REDACTED’s plan depend on your skills, discipline, and vigilance. Operate with precision, and be ready for any contingency.
