They entered with the lady
among them went last behind
the two SSS agents like she
was looking out for them and
IBK was not happy about that.

He was used to being in
charge ofall his operations
and even with hostage
situations in the Niger Delta
where he would probably
have his head blown off, he
lead but here he was with a
woman who was acting like
she had more testosterone
than him and he was
disgusted. To him, women
should not be in this type of
jobs, not when mistakes or
failure cannot be tolerated. He
could not hesitate looking
around the frigate as they
moved towards out of the
landing pod into the ship itself
though.

The ship NNS Owuro is one of
the many frigates owned by
the Nigerian Navy operating in
the gulf of Guinea; most of the
other ones are stationed
across the oil installation
platforms or around the
territorialwaters to protect
against oil thieves or pirates
which seem to be increasing
around the area. The country’s
navy being the most
sophisticated one in the sub
region also helps in protecting
the waters of its closest
neighbors since the criminals
who run such operations will
have a free access into the
country if they are allowed to
run freely in theother
countries so the other ships
are scattered all over the sub
region.

Most other the other frigates
however operate deeper into
sea so as not to disrupt the
activities of the other
countries except there is a
special use for them. in a lot of
crises situations, these ships
are called upon to provide
support to the troops from
the country of the troop from
the country where they watch
in terms of fire power, arrest
of ships used for criminal
purposes or in some cases, as
a way to transport troops to
shore in case the army needs
to create a base on the shore.

The beach assault team are
mostly responsible for this
and they include a specially
trained unit which are trained
in the use of hand guns and
to make sure they create a
space on the beach for the
troops to set up camp but in
this case.

The NNS Owuro is one of such
ships but it has berthed close
to the Tetuan’s waters to
support the troops in terms of
launching helicopters for air
support and communications
and its position made it
perfect for the mission at
hand; it was apparent that
Lucas Radonsolema would be
tracking the air space over
Tetuan and shouldany
helicopter or airplane lands
anywhere, they will most likely
be aware and that could affect
the success of the mission so
they intend to go by speed
boats towards the beach and
then go into one of the rivers
that empties into the Atlantic
and go up river fromthere
which will take them just
hours away from the
presidential palace. They were
to getsome rest on the ship so
fatigue would not be an issue
while the palace guards
around the presidential palace
get more information as to
the location where the
president was being held and
only communicate with the
team when they get close to
the palace. The team on the
other hand had been
instructed not to discuss their
mission with anyone and after
a three hour rest, they were
on the boats and on the
Atlantic towards Tetuan.

The left with enough guns
and ammunition to start a
mini war as each agent was
handed their weapon of
choice and but also a back up
and enough supplies. They
were armed for any
eventualities. The female
among them lieutenant Shade
was the communications
officer while another DMI
agent captain Charles was in
charge of medical. Although
they did not think they would
have a problem relating to the
need of a medical officer but
someone had to care for them
in case one of them got shot
or they need an emergency.

They had the supplies just for
that reason. They had
communications with one
another to communicate with
one another but if they
needed to get a call out, it
would go directly to the ship
which was just in range and
then it would be redirected to
the office of the director of
the DMI.

They were ordered not to
break radio silence unless it
was an emergency as their
messages might be picked by
the wrong people. While in
the boat, each member
concentrated on their
individual thought as they had
no idea what to expect once
they got near the palace. They
knew there would be troops
watching the palace and that’s
whythey were to go in at
night. Most of the electricity to
the city had been cut out as a
result of years of war but the
palace had installed a gas
plant to supply it power which
meant sneaking in would be
almost impossible. There were
men situated all around the
palace and there was no way
they could get in without
being seen but their mission
said they should be 30
minutes away from the palace
at midnight and they were
going towards that.
