Backup Plan

Event: Casus belli · 9 April 2026

Ref — briefing

Still no contact with the convoy, and that's bad... So listen up. I sent the group with the new rewards down the river on purpose, less chance of getting spotted. The bay path is blocked by the terminal with soldiers, no way they'd make it through there. So my guys should be coming ashore somewhere near Priozersk, or worst case, customs zone. Until we know exactly where they are, we can at least give them a bit of insurance. If they land in the nature reserve, the only place they'll be able to hole up with all that gear is the old sawmill. There's a two-story barn there with a basement and a good view. I need you to stash some medical supplies there. You can get your hands on a couple of Grizzlies, right? Good. Leave them somewhere inside that building. Now if they end up going through Customs, they'll get torn apart in the shallows before they even make it out. Supplies won't help there, so your best bet is to clear the whole area near the river. Preferably leave nothing alive. And do it fast, or there won't be anyone left to help.

On completion

Ref: You're sure you cleared it all out? Just to be clear, what you do here might decide the fate of the entire Season! Turns out Skier's behind all this shit, and if my boats hit Customs, we're in serious trouble. I'll call you as soon as I hear anything. Be ready to move and fight.
