You notice that you have been assigned to the breach team, tasked with penetrating the town center and locating the recon team. You would be supporting two ground units [Choose Two]:
>Lambda-Null-Null: Special operations unit. Equipped to neutralize infantry and infantry-sized esoteric targets.
>QRF-15: Two squads of veteran infantry; flexibly equipped to handle most threats.
>QRF-5A: Mechanized airborne unit. One infantry squad supported by a light IFV.
>Delta-Seven: Dedicated scout/sniper unit. One infantry squad, trained for infiltration and spotting.
"...if you're on the breach team, stay where you are - I'll finish up the briefing here. If you've been grouped into the waterfront team - which should be most of you - follow YK into conference room B12-G..."
There is a brief pause as the attendees reorganize based on their team assignments. Once the waterfront team leaves, RD switches her slide deck to show a close up of the town center.
"Now, as I was saying, the breach team will be tasked with locating the recon squad. Due to the comm blackout, we don't have transcripts detailing their activity after they crossed the town outskirts; the drone they sent only carried photographs"
You raise your hand. "Do we have any information about their last known position, in that case?"
RD nods slightly. "Not directly. But we were able to comb through the drone's inertial positioning system and trace its launch position. By referencing this information against their original scouting route, we can estimate where they became compromised.
"See the red circle marker on the hill? That marks the first check-in waypoint they missed. Here, it was probably just the comm disruption."
A few more waypoints appear on the screen. "They also missed the next two waypoints - shown here and here. Now look to the right. This dotted black arrow shows the flight path of their drone."
"Thus, it seems reasonable to assume that they launched somewhere between waypoint three and the final waypoint - marked with an X. The area is a central commercial district. A few abandoned buildings; some old warehouses. Nothing particularly notable. But if our reasoning is correct, Delta-nine was rendered mission-incapable in this region. Otherwise they wouldn't have been able to launch their drone at all."
RD turns the projector off. "Search broadly, but pay special attention to this central block..."
