“Good morning,
Team Bearss, and welcome to the beautiful island of Mauritius, off the east coast of Madagascar.”
“Picturesque,
but not all is as it seems.
Political forces are at work in the Mauritian government that have
plotted the unthinkable. You must
prepare yourselves for the following harrowing images that will greet you upon your arrival.”
“The
devastation and suffering are beyond description. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to scour
the island and it’s seedy underbelly for contraband beverages in order to
adequately equip your team for the long weekend ahead.
“You will be
stationed on the west coast in the village of Flic en Flac, posing as a family
on vacation. Accomodations have
been arranged. The unit has been on our ledger (along with it’s decor)
since the heyday’s of the 80’s,”
“But given
recent budget cuts, you may find it a little rough around the edges.”
“Whatever you
do, don’t look under the kitchen sink.”
“It’s
classified.”
“You will be
equipped with a gourmet chef,”
“And an
administrative assistant, to walk you through classified documents.”
“As usual, try to blend in with the
local surroundings.”
“We’ll be
initiating a high-altitude personnel drop.”
“You’ll need
him and his counterpart,”
“To assist you in
making contact with the local residents.”
“Under the
guise of needing to celebrate “Daddy” and “G-Dad”s birthday (01 Dec) solicit
their help in securing transport to the Four Seasons resort on the east side of
the island.”
“You’ll find it
protected from local tyranny, and you’ll easily find some vintage supplies to
get you through the first day.”
“Once the
tremors abate, you will need to search for this woman.”
“Last seen in
1985, our scientists have done some computer modeling to predict what she might
look like today.”
“Codenamed “The Muffin”, she will be an essential key to penetrating the black market.
Persecuted by the current regime, it is rumoured she has fled the villages to
take up residence in the Mauritian wilderness.”
“You will need
to track her there, but be careful, the native species are not to be trifled
with.”
“Once you make
contact, work quickly to gain her trust, if she feels threatened, she will try
to jump ship,”
“With her skill
set, and a little stubborn determination (/desperation), you should be
successful in finally finding a roadside kwik-e-mart that will defy the ban (for
a 20% prohibition surcharge).”
“At that point,
relax and sit tight for your 29 December extraction.”
“And you just might find even the furnishings are tolerable with a fully stocked fridge.”
“Just remember,
once the ban is lifted you’re not completely out of the woods. The Mauritian government is planning
another injunction in seven days. Don’t get caught with your pants down, again.”
“As always, should you or any of your I.M.
Force be captured or killed, the Prime Minister will disavow any knowledge of
your actions. This blog will
self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Team.”
