Cmpuncle/Lady Bug<br/>"Very well then.  A full scale assault is wholly beyond our means. Destroying the weapon with our current equipment and forces would be next to impossible, even if it were undefended.  That's why I want you to buy us some time.  Our spies on the ground have indicated that the excavation is currently taking place within a large, semi-natural cavern, located here." She focuses the tac-chart on the location and several high-res images of the site appear. The weapon itself looks like a giant machine with several cannons and unknown parts. From the looks of the site, the weapon is almost fully excavated. "Every few hours, the excavation teams switch out and undergo a detox shower to cleanse themselves of the harmful radiation coming off the weapon.  We'd like to strike when the teams are being switched out. You'll have several hours to infiltrate the excavation facility, but only a 15 minute window to collapse the cavern on the weapon. The outer hull of the weapon can not be damaged by any known weapon in our arsenal, so we have reason to believe that collapsing the cave on top of it should leave it intact, while delaying the excavation indefinitely. The key to this operation will be extraction.  Once you've caused the cave to collapse, the entire facility will be on high alert.  I can not stress how important it is that you two not get caught.  In fact, we'd rather you not be seen at all. Make it look like an accident if at all possible. To that end, our spies have created some "diversions". This will hopefully draw attention away from you and enable you to complete the mission and get out without anyone noticing."<br/>--------------------------------<br/>DigitLninja:<br/>Most of their activity has been within Einstein colony itself, however Intel believes that they've been using an abandoned facility in the nearby asteroid belt as a base of operations.
