Scene 12
'Corporal, put me in the picture ... (indistinctly), ' said someone on the radio.
'We're now stationed over the northwest end ' Cpl Ryan responded. He was positioned airborne on Marine AH-1Z Viper helicopter. The commandant was handling the op from the control room of the US military base in West Asia.
Ryan 'We see some flutter in the busy marketplace ... at the three-way intersection, a bunker is hidden right under a good deal of fruit stalls. Rats (insurgents) look for us in all directions ... have guns installed also and are covering streets to foil entry We wait for orders Over '
Ryan was on a rescue operation. In the morning, a bomb-disposal squad of the US military was taken hostage by a group of insurgents through a mocked planting of explosives in a town. The terrorists moved the US soldiers outside the town and were demanding a large ransom, weapons, and other aids that should be delivered at a specified remote location. The terrorists had already destroyed or abandoned the communication devices and gadgets of the USMC squad which might transmit locations.
'Go for ground searching and start cracking down Be on time, feasibly we can't take the op into the dusk ' advised the commandant. 'Sergeant ... Sergeant Miller, report your progress (spoke to Sgt Miller also).'
On microphone, Sgt Miller communicated his plans to the commandant. 'The end of the thoroughfare at this point has one big rendezvous between residences ... few eyes (people on the buildings) are watching for the US soldiers. Possibility of hostages can't be denied here ... the ground searching requires reinforcement '
Meanwhile, Ryan identified the subjects of interest in imagery. Then, he and Sgt Miller conferred about a plan of action. 'Corporal, prepare to enter the town We are doing the necessary blitz and are storming from the south '
'Copy We're preparing to enter the town from our end, our Viper is heading to the north Every target of the marketplace is locked now, ' said Ryan, on microphone. Also, he communicated the plan that his team might accomplish.
