Event #14: THE GIFT OF BLESSED SILENCE

Though the vote was contentious, the Corsairs have decided to capture the facility. This will require an enormous mobilization of forces, but it is fortunate that the Corsairs are on they fight, unbeknownst to the Empire, on their own domain. In a real sense, the Vault has been preparing for this moment for decades.

The forges burn bright as rail and cannon are brought to bear. This ambitious plan will see Skysplitters placed across the continent as a crack strike force tears through the facility and kills or captures its personnel without putting the site itself to the sword. An operation both forceful and delicate, difficult, but hardly impossible for the Corsairs’ finest.

Missions:

Build the Rail, Ignite the Powder: The Corsairs, working under the cover of night, will need to establish a perimeter around the research facility.
Description: The continent of Bavrecht is usually where the Adamant Curtain, a major airship Legion, makes its base, testing munitions on the continent with constant carpet bombings. Their schedule is a bit irregular, but there are times where their bombing isn’t active. The Corsairs will need to take this opportunity to encircle the research facility and quickly erect temporary rail lines and set up Skysplitters to keep the airspace clear.

Rip Down the Curtain: The Corsairs will need to drive away the Adamant Curtain when it returns.
Description: The Adamant Curtain airship legion is a minor legion primarily concerned with munition testing. Their airships shuttle back and forth to gather new test munitions from the mainland and rest before returning to bombard the continent, and even then often in staggered groups. The Corsairs seek to employ one of these gaps to set up their perimeter, but once they return they will need to then destroy the legion so they can’t provide aid to the research facility or, in desperation, destroy it.

Laboratory Conquest: The Corsairs will need to enter the research facility and sweep it of hostiles, one way or another.
Description: Log Leader required. The Corsairs will be pitted against the 13th Legion Legatus Dr. Emric Folken and his legion of scientists. While not frontline combatants, they have any number of horrific abominations and weaponry available to bring to bear against the Corsair forces. Defeating them in their home turf will be a herculean effort indeed.

"Maybe at some point we'll be able to steal enough of it. I do like my acquired prizes. Though, not sure how good I'd be at piloting, honestly. I could barely handle driving a car back home honestly..."

"Oh huh!" She levels off the next section. The sound of the rest of the crew setting up teh gravel behind her fills the air. "Well, we can give it a shot, anyway. It's not like carriages, trains, or airships. The control scheme is quite different. I know we have a few spare Schwerts sitting around, I can definitely show you around the harness sometime."

[frost_and_shinies]

"Yep. Tonight, though... Better to use what I know. Which is ice, in both quietly aggressive and very creative solutions."

[bearsperminute]

"Let's hope the other teams can get this wrapped up by tonight, too." It's an ambitious plan, to be sure!

[frost_and_shinies]

Deeply ambitious. But... Kait thinks it's doable.

"Yeah. Natalia's got this. And we do. If everyone keeps up..."

[bearsperminute]

"We can finish claiming the world below... And save the people they've been experimenting on."

[frost_and_shinies]

"Well worth the risk. Question is... Which complications hit us, if any?"
