Briefing:
Approximately 63 hours ago, a Rogue Squadron Intelligence team planted a Nergon-based explosive device on-board the mothership of the minor Goa'uld Der'ak. The bomb was equipped with a delayed time detonator, set to explode when the Ha'tak comes out of hyperspace near the moon M7X-974.
7X-974 is covered in tropical rainforest. While dense, it is comparable to Yavin IV, meaning we can make our way though easily enough. We believe Der'ak will have his ship put down on one of the landing pedestals near the gate, so we shouldn't have to go too far to find him.
His personal guard consists of about 75 Jaffa, and his mothership is crewed by 45 of his naval troops with a compliment of 25 regular army troops. Admiral Burn believes that all of the ship's crew and at least one quarter to one half of the Jaffa will be engaged in effecting repairs to the slagged hyperdrive. That leaves us facing 55 to 80 Jaffa and Army Regulars.
The idea is for us to covertly make our grab while Der'ak is making his inspection tour of the area. He will doubtless be accompanied by no less than a squad of his personal guard.
One sniper carrying a Merr-Sonn Whisper sniper rifle will provide cover for the snatch team. The snatch team will carry Mestic Munitions M-5N submachine guns and G16c covert ops assault rifles. One fire support team equipped with a Para-Ordnance G243 heavy machine gun will give covering fire if absolutely necessary.
We want Der'ak alive, so the idea is to do this as quickly, and quietly as possible.
Personnel:
Anton "Viper" Moore, Corry Vrecken, David Sinclair, Ilexa Thorn, Nick Fel, Phil Fett
Injuries to Personnel/Equipment:
None
Report:
Well, we started late-my fault this time-but we did get it done quite fast. 35 minutes, I believe, from start to finish, and we did secure the prisoner.
After coming through the gate, I dispatched Davie to the top of a hill to provide sniper support, while the rest of us headed off to a small ravine to set up our ambush. We deployed in standard horseshoe formation, with me as the anchor point, Nick and Phil to my left, and Corry and Thorn to my right. We waited through an over-flight by death gliders and lured the party in very close. I fired first, letting loose a single zat blast that took Der'ak in the torso, and attracted the return fire of his guards, which were systematically cut down by concentrated fire from Corry and Thorn, with support from Davie. A few made a break for it and were cut down by Nick and Phil.
Nick and I retrieved Der'ak's unconscious form and we all began our march back to the gate. Before breaking cover, we checked in with Davie, who assured us the area was secure. Just to be safe I sent Phil ahead to dial up the gate. Just as Phil began dialling and the rest of us were struggling out, a group of Der'ak's army troopers broke cover from a side path and engaged us. Nick and I struggled toward the gate while Davie, Thorn, and Corry provided cover for us, and for Phil who was still dialling.
The gate was finally engaged, and Phil and I tossed Der'ak through, with Phil following, and the rest heading there rapidly. We all made it through safely, and with no injuries, surprisingly enough.
