be in charge, seconded by Robbie. Black Wolf and Raven are responsible for the capture or destruction of the enemy ship in Green Bay harbor.”
“Right,” Zach said.
Selene saw Anna open up her wrist menu. “OK,” she said, pressing a few of the digital buttons. “We'll need a name for the operation. Luckily they put the random generator in the game.”
“So what's it going to be called?” Robbie asked.
Anna looked at the line that popped up. “Lonesome Crow.”
Selene shrugged. “OK, works for me.”
“Danny, Blake, you there?” Zach asked over the radio.
The rest of the council had left, leaving only Robbie, Zach, Nora and herself present. Currently, they were trying to get into contact with their northern teams under the command of Danny and Blake.
The boosted set they were using theoretically had enough range, but even Zach wasn't completely sure that it would work smoothly. As far as they knew, their northern force was still en-route to Sturgeon Bay, and it was uncertain if their own boosted set was set up.
Selene watched Zach try again.
“Danny, Blake, are you there?”
“We're here,” Danny's voice replied after a few seconds. “Sorry, we we're taking care of a bit of an issue.”
“Anything we should know about?” Zach asked.
“Nope, we're fine,” Blake said.
“OK, so you got my reports, right?” Selene asked.
“About the ship in Green Bay harbor? Yeah, we got them,” Danny replied. “That's not going to make our jobs very easy.”
“Actually, we're planning to take it out to clear the way,” Nora said.
“With what?”
“We're going to board it and storm it,” Selene said. “What better way to take it out than to take it for our own?”
Blake cut in. “I'm assuming that you're going to be relying on us to get on board?”
Robbie spoke up from their end. “That's right, and it shouldn't be too much of an issue. We just need to get in close, match speeds and then have the teams climb aboard.”
“It's going to be a little more difficult than that,” Danny said.
Selene shrugged, even though they couldn't see her gesture. “Of course it is, but it's not like we can't pull it off. We've done tunnel fighting, trench fighting, amphibious assaults and airborne assaults. I really don't see how this is going to be any more difficult than those. We can all climb.”
“Raven's going to clear the decks while we're climbing, is that right?” Danny asked.
“That'd be correct.”
Blake interjected again. “What's the ship carrying for secondary armament?”
“We don't know,” Nora replied honestly.
“Then this could get very dangerous,” Blake said. “It's a good way to get us all shot down, if we don't know what we're up against. Plus, they might have the guns to blow the river craft out of the water if they get in too close.”
“We know,” Zach said. “We need more intelligence before we put the plan into action. But the plan is going into action. We stand to gain too much not to risk it.”
“What can we do?” Danny asked. “I mean, we'll be at Sturgeon Bay soon. We'll have a flotilla of river craft, plus four choppers from Raven. That gives us a pretty good scout force up here.”
“Maybe have them draw the ship out of the bay again?” Selene suggested.
“That's my thought,” Robbie agreed. “If we can get it away from the shore then we'll probably be able to do several flyovers to figure out what it's packing.”
“That means we have to go into the harbor, provoke it and then draw it out, which means staying within range of it,” Danny said. “You don't ask for much, do you? Anything else we should know about it?”
“It has a big gun,” Selene said. “Like, artillery size. It's not going to be very accurate, but I wouldn't want to be standing where the shells land. Or floating.”
“Thanks.”
“How much do you want us to provoke it?” Blake asked. “Are strafing runs OK?”
“We'll leave that to your discretion,”
“Right,” Zach said.
