A Hunting Trip to Zimalia
« on: November 04, 2018, 02:38:38 PM »
Briony McLeish and her friend Effie Nevinhad graduated two years ago from the Chapterhouse in Scordisci. They'd both hoped to get positions in the task force sent to Seitch however instead they'd been kept back on effective permanent refresher training. They were therefore both thrilled when they were sent on a mission to Zimalia. The task had been relatively simple infiltrate the country, find Willhelmina and kill her. She'd been responsible for the kidnap and murder of some Uburzis kid and they'd also been involved in some people trafficing, one of those that had been her business partner also helped supply the Bene Gesserit and if she went down so would the whole smuggling ring potentially, therefore she would have to die and so Briony and Effie had been placed ready.


 The Cenneg had issued an arrest warrant for her that day and so the two set about getting to work. It was unlikely that the Zimalians would extradite her and even if they did no time soon. It gave the girls a window of oppurtunity and they were not going to mess it up. They'd picked a road, it was about 10km outside Mogebbe and they'd seen her use it at least twice a week when they'd been following her. Once they'd become confident she would be a regular traveller they came back one day when it was dark and placed a series of squib explosives along the side of the road along with a series of devices to launch light shrapnal at the vehicle she was in. Always two bodyguards with her, one in the front and one in the rear, occasionally a second vehicle would follow but she was always in the white Maybach.

It had been two days now since they'd seen the car and Effie looked hopefully down the road through the giant spotting scope. "Briony we're on" she called back to her friend who was preparing a cup of tea on their camping stove. They'd made a bit of a dug out observation post and covered it with netting and from the hide they had a perfect view down the road. Effie picked up the triggers for the devices while Briony settled herslf down behind the snipers rifle. It wasn't a hard shot to set up and the white marker stones they'd strategically placed helped her get everything set quickly.

"We're on the count" Briony said as she took aim at the cars engine block. "3-2-1" she pulled the trigger sending the round spinning the 500 or so meters. They saw the car skid and struggle to stay on the road as oil and water spewed out of the hole in the engine block. The car came to an undiginied stop and only around 15 meters away from the devices they'd put at the road side, they hadn't expected it to take the car so long to stop. Effie pressed the button and a series of high pitched cracks went off sounding like gunfire. One of the bodyguards got out preparing to fight off the attackers and scanned the area, the second set of squibs went off just as the rear bodyguard began moving Wilhemenia towards the safety the nearby roadside ditch would provide.

"Shot away" Briony said as she squeezed the trigger again. It was as though a hand grenade had gone off in the centre of Wilhemenia's chest and she hit the dirt, Effie was already making her way down to road side, they had no idea how long they'd have for the next part especially if they'd had the chance to call for help. Effie heard two more cracks of the rifle as Briony dispatched the other two. By now Effie had reached the body of Wilhemenia. She knelt down, muttered the literny against fear and then using the battery powered saw they'd brought removed Wilhemenas head placing it on the sharpened stake they'd prepared nearby in the ditch. She forced the head onto it squirming a little at the sight and sound of the blood. Her job done she set off back to Briony where they filled in the hide quickly. It took them thirty minutes as as they folded up the netting and headed over the ridge a security forces car came into view. The pair began running away making sure by the time the Zimalians started any search they'd be long gone. The sight of a severed head on a spike with the sign underneath saying "Wilhemenia, Murderer of Children, Slave Trader. Scumbag. Justice is Done."

After the four hour wander through Zimalia the two girls had returned to their safari lodge they were staying at, showered and were sat enjoying a beer and steak on the terreace as the photos of the head they'd set up was sent to HQ and from their onto their contact in Neu Uburzis

Two armchairs, a small Table, expensive Red Wine.

After receiving the news Albrecht had called up the School and ensured the conference cellar was a little more cozy than usual. He would tell his mother Siegrun later to deal with Wilhelminas Daughter's Romula and Rema, he was rather sure he couldn't hide his triumphant grin would he tell them their mother was dead.

Orion wasn't sure why he had been called from school, though he was eager when Albrecht told him to come straight down to the meeting room. He threw his Jacket aside after entering, greeted by the sound of liquid getting poured into a glass as the young emperor closed the eavesdropping secured door:

"Must be pretty important if you get me out of lessons." he said with a shy smile, hurrying to take a seat in one of the armchairs.

Albrecht just handed him one of the glasses, putting his hand on his younger cousins head:

"She's finally dead."

Orions shoudlers sunk a little, tears in his eyes, though he sipped from the glass:

"One more Death. Will it ever end?"

"No." Albrecht admitted, sipping from his own: "Now, we need to talk about the next days."

Leaning back, he sighed:

"There's two things to think about. First, we need to repay the Bene Gesserit. We two owe them, and i want your opinion."

Orion sipped again from his glass, clamming down on it:

"And secondly?"

"Ensuring you are ready for the next days. Wilhelmina is bound to have had a backup plan. I did all i could to make us prepared. Discredit her, making sure we have a chance without having a revolution at our hands. But we can't be careless. She had a backup plan."

"We need to make a statement about the boy she killed." Orion had put his glass down, uneasy shifting.

"We do. I'll postpone it for your Birthday, it's best if you do that. And..."

"We will have to announce that Mother was actually murdered now." Tears dripped into Orions lap: "I wish my siblings where still here."

"I know." Albrecht said, raising his glass: "But today is a victory. For the both of us."

Orion picked his up again, toasting with Albrecht, before they where stopped by an alarm bell from Albrechts phone:

"The twins are gone." Albrecht muttered: "Shit"
