THE RED SKULL ALLIANCE - OFFICIAL ANNOUCEMENT
After four months of top secret planning, The Red Skull Alliance sent its operatives to the Eve-Online 2007 FanFest . Their mission was fiendishly simply, send a small team of covert operatives to Iceland, infiltrate the FanFest using deep cover identities and take down CCP on their own patch.
The cover story: We decided the best way for our strike force to integrate with other FanFest attendees by pretending to be drunken nerds. Clearly only a few Red Skull agents were physically capable of maintain this type of cover story for a prolonged period so we selected Stylom, Trevedian and Psyman as a three man gang.
Tango One: We decided that rather than fight a sustained battle we would attempt to æcut the head off the snakeÆ .......yes, indeed, we were gunning for the CCP CEO... ôHilmarö. We assigned the call sign of Tango One to the unsuspecting target and prepared for battle.
Mission Report:
Day one (Thursday): Our operatives decided to get their ælegendsÆ in play by taking up position in the bar area and generally getting plastered. We then moved to the blue lagoon which was deep in zero-zero and an ideal ganking location. Unfortunately laggy weather conditions made for tricky flying, but undeterred the Red Skull gang patrolled the windswept tidal waves for an hour until hypothermia set in. No sightings were made of our primary target, but a great evening was had by all.
Day two (Friday): Tempting as it was to field a strong team in the PVP tournament, The Red Skull gank squad stayed in character and hit the bar hard. At the same time as drinking a skinful of beer they boys had a whale of a time running storyline missions. After a six hour downtime at the Hotel, the attack team head to Glaumbar to set up a gate camp. Fuelled with copious amounts of Tequila and Beer our team anxiously looked for the primary target but there was no sign of him. The strike force couldnÆt believe when Oveur appear from nowhere and joined them in their space. A council of war was hastily convened but after much discussion our agents decided not to call him as target.
Day three (Saturday): Our trio of operatives were starting to feel under pressure, only a few sightings of Hilmar had been made to date. Furthermore even when we did manage to æeyeballÆ the CCP CEO he was always flanked by hoards of Dev & ISD bodyguards. Our strike force felt the only way to play it was was to attend the excellent presentations, whilst always maintaining a drunken presence in the bar area. We were relying on being able to catch Hilmar when he undocked from one of the presentations.
Clearly the mission would take excellent communications with the attack force split between multiple locations. Towards the end of the day a Text Message was sent from our spotter stationed in the Bar. Hilmar was flying unescorted through the bar area. Our heroes managed to tackle Hilmar using a talk bubble, we moved our support ship into position and the damage dealer got into optimal range next to Hilmar. After three days of excellent fun & espionage The Red Skull had one shot of podding Hillmar. Use the flowing link to watch the take down.
Hilmar Podded
Party at the top of the world: The Red Skull boys were jubilant after podding Hilmar. The three days had been hard work but excellent fun. We partied the night away to the fine tunes smashed out by Roxor and then retired to the Hotel at day break to break open the Bubbly.
Mission Report Ends:
Love and respect to the unwitting people who help The Red Skull in their undercover mission. .....remember everyone cries the first time
