5 August 2016, 2203 Zulu<br/>Covert Airfield outside of Johannesburg, South Africa<br/><br/>It had been a long forty-eight hours for everyone.   Multiple extractions and travel of several highly trained professionals all carried out smooth as silk, pointing to an organization that was efficient as well as skilled.   Near all of the operatives had a long trips to practically the southern most part of the world outside of Antarctica.  Once the operatives reached Johannesburg, each was kept in seclusion till the evening, and everyone was picked up by and ushered out of the city.<br/><br/>The ride itself took more than a couple of hours before the team ended up at the target location.   Like several of their more memorable operations in the past, this has a very Black OPS feel too it, and great care was taken to be certain that no civilians witnessed anything.    As the team left the vehicle they saw on the runway a military transport plane of the likes no one had every seen before, not even a hint of it in any media source.   It was clear that whatever was about to happen it was big, a mission of the scope no one had been on before.<br/><br/>Descending from the rear ramp were two individuals, both in a utility type uniform one would wear for causal operations, like day to day admin, but the style of the uniform was unlike any known organization in the world with, black with gray trim, and some form of rank insignia upon the collar and a patch in the same black and gray color of the uniform on the left shoulder.    One of the newcomers was a male, the other a female.   As they reached the gathering of the group, the man spoke to everyone, and he did so in a crisp British accent.<br/><br/><strong>"I know everyone has questions, and we will get to them.   I also know it has been a long day.   Refreshments have been set out in the hanger over there.   It is far from five star restaurant quality, but it is a far cry from military rations and it is hot food.   Let us grab some and we shall discuss the reason why you have undergone such lengths to bring you here and the reason for it."</strong><br/>
