Desmond listened carefully being aware of the potential risks for both the forest and the cave, and nodded when she was finished. Looking at Bast he replied as he pulled something out of a pouch and simply placed it on the coffee table in front of everyone revealing a some radio “way back the city that RRT operates from was able to restore connection to some old tech in space, took them some time but essentially it is a communication grid for RRT, if I needed to contact them I can, just as they can contact me, though, I don’t know if that’ll still work since I’ve had it for a while, and I haven’t been at headquarters in so long to have it serviced, most of the dogs have similar communication, though I think Wolfe whose older than I am is probably one of the few who has a direct connection with headquarters, but as frequent as he’s out on mission I doubt he’s going to be the one to respond if they did activate one of us.” Desmond looked at the radio and simply picked it up and turned it on, with a squawk the radio was live with minor chatter “echo two four standby for further orders” Desmond shook his head and just took a deep breathe before he keyed in and spoke “This is Victor one seven checking in, can I get a status update” the comms was silent for a moment before a woman spoke “victor one seven good to hear from you, please verify current pos” Desmond grinned and replied “current pos is vampire island northern region, currently residing in the forest, how copy?” a long silence went on for a moment before a response came through “solid copy one seven, be advised AO is considered hot, possible HVT in area…. Standby for further information” Desmond looked at the others who were silent for a time Khajhan was somewhat disturbed by what he was hearing but he kept quiet.
After a while the woman came back through “Victor one seven, be advised that your current AO has a secondary objective that requires your expertise on, Bravo two one has been already assigned to this objective but is already requesting additional support, apparently contact was lost with a team who was sent in to investigate and remove a HVT of interest, unclear as to whether or not they succeeded communication was lost with them shortly after they checked in” Desmond swore a moment before he responded “copy that, has there been any word on where bravo two one is?” the woman responded “negative one seven, last contact with Bravo two one was six hours ago, last update was still in route to the island with assault team four and eight, will advise on their location on next update as information becomes available, also command has advised that primary and secondary objectives be completed asap, as new assignment has come through which requires your attention, mission parameters will be passed along soon as completion has been verified.” Desmond sighed and replied “understood command victor one seven signing out” Desmond sighed heavily again as he turned off his radio and spoke up “well location wise we’ll have to wait and see where they settle, if I had to guess it would likely be the cave since the one sent here with the two assault teams would likely utilize natural defenses over having to settle up a static perimeter” Khajhan was the first to respond after a long moment of pause “and who is this bravo two one?” Desmond looked up at him and replied “Bravo two one is Jenny Lancaster, she’s a close quarters specialist and one of the deadliest, can’t say I’m surprised since this kind of mission was likely going to need someone like her holding the reigns, the fact that she called in support for an additional dog of war says she has no idea what she’s walking into apart from the fact that she’s down a team of suppressors, which also says from the moment they hit the island they are going to be on alert as they move but we can use that to our advantage since they aren’t likely to be rushing things on account that they don’t know what kind of hostiles are on the island, though based on what we’ve been told it is safe to say they don’t know that I’ve turned on them” looking at Bast he smiled as he sat back on the love seat and breathed a little easier. After a moment Desmond spoke up again “one thing to consider is, if we are able to convince Jenny to side with us, and we’re able to destroy the two assault teams before they can call back command is likely to abandon this mission since losing two dogs of war and two full teams will likely give command the impression that this area will be too costly to continue operating from.” Khajhan grinned as he stepped behind Sebastet “so we simply need to kill our foe and they will simply leave us be, simple enough task” Desmond nodded.
