Ulysses:
"To all teams, if any of you want to join the party, we will begin our assault on the lower decks in exactly one hour. I repeat all team members have exactly one hour to report to the infirmary if they wish to join the assault."
Ulysses turns to survey the assault team assembled in the infirmary.
"We have three ex-Spetsnaz operatives, a former Serbian guerrilla fighter, a former Navy Seal, an ex-US marine, a former SAS and intelligence operative and an Irish barman. Between us we have three assault rifles, one designated marksman rifle, two machine guns, one shotgun, one personal defense weapon, one grenade launcher, five pistols, one revolver, six fragmentation grenades, three smoke grenades, four flashbang grenades, four C4 charges, eight claymores, one smoke grenade clip, two thermobaric grenade clips. I think that's all the weaponry. Overall that's a pretty good spread of weaponry, though the machine guns are going to be slightly problematic as they are more of a defensive weapon and certainly not a weapon you engage in a CQC assault with. We have eight men so I recommend we function as a British army section would do, with two four man fireteams, Charlie fireteam and Delta fireteam.
I would recommend that we leave our current teams as they are except that Youriy and Yuri swap. This would roughly balance out long-range and short-range firepower in both teams. Now we need to decide fireteam leaders and the overall leader of the mission. Once that is done we can plan the assault. I would put myself forward as a candidate for overall command of the mission and command of Charlie fireteam."
Ulysses turns to the traumatised man.
"I realise you have had an extremely traumatic experience sir. However I can tell you that my colleagues have seen a little girl and are actively working to find her and bring her here to safety. With any luck she will be your little girl sir. However at the moment I need you to focus on anything and everything you can remember about the attack and the hours and days before the attack. Did you notice anything strange before the attack? Roughly how many men there were? That sort of thing sir. Also anything you could tell me about where your fellow passengers and the crew might be would be of vital importance. We are going to assault the lower decks to bring your attackers to justice and to save your fellow passengers and the crew of this vessel. Absolutely anything you tell us could make the difference between life and death for my colleagues and I sir."
