Shattered Hand Operation: Save the Cheerleader, Save the Gold

Operation: Save the cheerleader, save the gold
The well known female It Goblin Cassy Crosscheck has been Gobnapped. The Bilgewater socialite and lead cheerleader to
the The Bilgewater Buccaneers influence within the Bilgewater social scene is huge, with the gold *donations from various parties,
shin-digs, soiree’s and events the Bilgewater Harbor is able to maintain the Horde’s growing fleet. With the absence of Ms Crosscheck
at the helm of this social scene it's believed that this scene would diminish, potentially halting Horde fleet productions, a result that
would lead to catastrophic results.

Ms Crosscheck has been known to “..slum it” from time to time and be seen with an unknown dockworker. Intel on the dockworker is
limited to just rumours of him being connected to The Venture Company. A report from Chief Engineer Leveny from Warsong Hold
has stated that he saw a female and male goblin flew north in a biplane.

30th March - 17:00 Hours
Utilising the newly acquired operations unit (shared with Gob Squad) based at Bilgewater Harbor, Shattered Hand Operatives
consisting of Lead Alpha RIpclaw, Serrar and Leviathan (Wolfpack 1) assembled within the ready room. After going through what
intel they had and the initial clarification on the Op, wolfpack 1 headed towards the eastern docks, taking the awaiting Zepellin
towards Warsong Hold.



30th March - 21:10 Hours
Landing within Warsong Hold, Ripclaw immediately quizzing Chief Engineer Leveny with regards to the Chief's statement on
seeing a male and female goblin leaving on a biplane, Serrar conferred with Magistrix Kaelana, backing up Leveny's story.
Wolfpack 1 flew from Warsong Hold heading on a northern course towards Sholazar Basin.

30th March - 22:10 Hours
Wolfpack 1 touched down within a clearing on the south western side of the basin, with dense tree canopy and hard packed soil
tracking would be hard. The local wildlife was not disturbed as wolfpack 1 made way on foot to a known clearing near the centre
of the basin. It was clear to them that no wyvern, gryphon or biplane could've breached the tree canopy without leaving an obvious
opening. On their way towards the centre the obvious gap up in the tree canopy exposed itself, it was at this point that the swamp
underfoot turned into deep swamp but with an added bonus of having traces of dark oil sit on the surface. Ripclaw put out the order
to scout the area, searching for more debris. Leviathan located a crashed biplane around 30 yards from the oil spillage, wolfpack 1
searched the cockpit finding an assortment of valuable gems, necklace and a tiara confirming that this was the biplane Cassy was taken in.



30th March - 23:35 Hours
With the biplane wreckage found wolfpack 1 knew they were close, Serrar noted a series of flaming torches placed on the side
of a dirt track leading up a sloping hill. Using the cover of the growing dark wolfpack 1 followed the track only to be halted by the
faint sounds of metal against rock. Ripclaw raised his fist, motioning to the 2 operatives to stop and get low. Sniffing the air RIpclaw
caught the scent mechanical oil, the orc then waved is hand in a pointing motion towards the sound ordering the 2 operatives to
head that way quickly. The mining facility was ablaze with activity, ogres patrolling the perimeter and walkways, trolls, goblins
and human miners were feverishly hitting the crystaline formations. Whilst Leviathan & Ripclaw swept through the facility, placing
seaforium charges onto critical structures, Serrar was placed on point to eyeball the package (Cassy Crosscheck).



30th March - 23:59 Hours
With the package placement confirmed by Serrar and the seaforium charges set wolfpack 1 was ready to rock. The only way
to get up to the platform that held the package was through the Foreman, a particulary ugly Goblin who sat at the helm of a
large Shredder. The foreman was in conference with a large ogre who wolfpack 1 ascertained to be the gobbo's bodyguard.
Wolfpack 1 snuck past two ogres who patrolled around the bottom of the foreman's platform, RIpclaw again motioned his hand
towards Serrar and Leviathan ordering them to advance past the now strolling ogre bodyguard. Over the com came the count down
"3...2...1...mark"
Both Serrar and Leviathan lunged at the Goblin shredder, Serrar slashing at the hydraulic pressure pipes first, disabling the torso
and arm movements, Leviathan was hanging of the back of the now wildly stomping shredder, grasping a thin wire around the
foremans neck who was turning a rather pale green. Ripclaw stood over the large corpse of the ogre, sheathed his blades and
ran up the platform to rendezvous with the two operatives, he was met with a pile of scrap shredder with a pale goblin sitting inside.
"good..now we..."
The orc was interrupted as a tonal voice emitted from a buzzbox on the broken shredder.
"good..but not good enough..say goodbye to that bitch crosscheck"
The three operatives stood stunned for a moment, then a click and whirr was heard as the tonal voice emitted once again
"two minutes until that platform falls..good luck ladies, and remember..time is money friend HhAaHhAaHhAa..."
Ripclaw crashed his foot down on the buzzbox as he spat orders.
"Ok..you heard it..two minutes until she falls..Leviathan, get a grapple up there NOW!..Serrar take up position
underneith go go go!"
As quickly as the order came Serrar had unwrapped his grapple and thrusted it into Leviathan's hands, Leviathan began
swinging the rope, gaining momentum she let it go sending it high to her target, once attached she pulled back on it, securing
it's holding.



With a mutter she lept forward and began to climb the swinging rope, once on the first ledge Leviathan pulled the
rope up and with the grapple still attached into the wooden footing threw it over towards Ripclaw and Serrar. Leviathan then
unwrapped her own grapple and began to swing that around.
"Hurry we got 1 minute left"
Spoke Ripclaw through the com as he watched Serrar leap and climb up the rope, Serrar clambered up the rope and noted
that Leviathan was already half way up towards the hanging trap platform where Cassy was laying unconscious.

Ripclaw scaled the rope to where Serrar was waiting, both under where Leviathan and Cassy balanced precariously.
"5 seconds left, 'viathan get ya ass down here now!" spoke Ripclaw through the com
"on it boss, i'll be-"
with a click and a twang the twin corner wires broke free and the platform swang down, launching Leviathan and Cassy
who was slung over Leviathans shoulder toward the ground, a split second later and leviathan had thrown Cassy towards
the ready Serrar who caught the female goblin and with a graceful acrobatic mid-air turn Leviathan landed on the platform.



"Show off" mumbled Serrar as he placed the unconscious Cassy over his shoulder
Ripclaw turned away from the operatives, took a small whistle from a pouch and blew hard. 30 seconds later the operatives
looked high right as the three wyverns came swooping down. "Wolfpack 1, lets roll!" shouted Ripclaw as he and the remaining
operatives sprinted towards the ledge of the platform, lept from it and landed onto the saddles of the wyverns.
Over the com Ripclaw spoke "...'viathan..light their world up please"
"Aye boss..wit' pleasure" smiled Leviathan as she pressed the remote button, blowing the charges as wolfpack 1 ascend away.



31st March - 05:45 Hours
Extraction was clean, the package received but needed securing, Serrar noted that Cassy was groggy and needed to
land someplace to strap the package down. Amber lodge was near and so Wolfpack 1 landed and Serrar secured the
groggy Cassy into the passenger saddle. Once safe the three wyverns took to the air heading towards Warsong Hold.
Wolfpack 1 boarded a passenger zeppelin which was heading to Orgrimmar.



Once docked they took wyverns and headed
toward the drop of point. Wolfpack 1 touched down at the pleasure palace just before dawn the Trade Prince Donais was
asleep outside, many goblin partygoers were strewn out all over the place sleeping the nights excess of. Ripclaw dismounted from
the wyvern and made his way to the sleeping trade prince, followed by Leviathan and Serrar who was now being treated like
dung from the cranky spoilt cheerleader. Ripclaw kicked the trade prince awake and spoke with a low guttural tone.
"Donais..your cheerleader" nodding to Serrar to lead her to the trade prince.
"Ahh Crosscheck..so good of ya to return to me..I missed you ya know that love..now..come over will ya..i got some people
ya need to meet" Spoke the trade prince waving his hand dismissively at the three operatives.

Ripclaw turned and motioned to the other two to follow and said
"Good job, package delivered securely and we be all still here...now it be clear from this Op we lack one thing..our own Zeppelin"
With that said Wolfpack 1 mount up and return to operational HQ.
