Leonard is in a speed boat with Brody, Fuyuko and Eitan as there are three more speed boats occupied by Shayetet 13 operators.
Fuyuko: "Sandbar actual this is Kraken 1-1, we're three minutes out from the Crusade." She says hanging on as it's quite bumpy.
Sandbar actual: "Copy Kraken 1-1, be advised there may be civilians on board.'
Fuyuko: "Kraken 1-1 copies all. You boys ready?" She asks earning a nod as they drive next to the Crusade.
Leonard slings his suppressed MP7 holding a device that launches a grapple hook, hooking onto the ship.
Leonard: "Okay it's hooked in pretty good... You're up Scot." He says lightly hitting Brody on the shoulder.
Brody attaches a device onto the sturdy grapple rope and begins repelling up quickly and climbs onto the ship with the others following suit.
Eitan: "Team Shark, clear the right side of the ship while we clear the left, Turtle you'll clear the cargo bay." He says into his com while kneeling.
Brody is taking point but motions the others to hold.
Brody: "Got a dober up ahead, I got him." He says quietly beginning to sneak up on the mercenary.
Brody covers the mercenary's mouth and plunges a knife into his neck killing him very quickly. Leonard takes point holding his MP7 at a 45 degree angle.
Leonard sees a mercenary step out into the hallway who he headshots twice. The suppressed shot alerts those in the room the merc just exited.
Leonard peaks into the room nailing one in the neck and gets himself into cover. Brody arrives grabbing a flashbang with Leonard giving him a nod.
Brody tosses the flashbang in blinding everyone in the room. The two enter and eliminate the mercenaries in the room.
Eitan: "Nicely done." He says moving up to the next door that's creaked open as he pushes it open with gunfire coming through the opened door. "Well somebody's in a bad mood." He says jokingly.
Eitan throws a flashbang into the room having the desired effect as Eitan and Fuyuko enter making short work of the mercenaries inside.
Fuyuko: "Room's clear, moving on." She says motioning Brody to take point.
Brody keeps his C8-SFW raised looking down the holographic sight with his boots softly hitting the floor.
Brody: "Got a door up ahead, might be comprised." He says quietly feeling Fuyuko squeeze his shoulder telling him that they're gonna stack up on the door.
The four do so with two being on each side with Fuyuko testing the handle, finding out it's locked. Brody slings his rifle pulling out a breaching shotgun.
He puts the barrel against the door handle and shoots it off, kicking the door open. Fuyuko and Eitan enter the room pointing their weapons at a woman and a young man.
Fuyuko recognizing they aren't a threat continues to clear the room with Eitan and Leonard while Brody watches the two civilians securing them.
Fuyuko finds a closet door as she cautiously approaches the door. Eitan gets on the other side as they can hear someone in there.
Fuyuko motions for Eitan to open it. Eitan grabs the handle and pulls the door open quickly. Fuyuko peaks and fires upon a mercenary multiple times making sure he's dead.
Fuyuko: "Ah shit..." She curses quietly seeing that she was shot in the bicep area. "Room's clear." She grunts out as she takes a knee and rolls her left sleeve up.
Eitan: "Here lemme get that for you." He says kneeling next to her as he begins treating the wound, to stop the bleeding for the moment.
Leonard meanwhile is conversing with the woman and young man in Hebrew, which he knows thanks to Lyra.
Leonard: "There's more civilians in play, apparently the mercs kept them around as an insurance policy."
Eitan: "Fuck me, all teams this is Kraken be advised there multiple civilians in play throughout the ship." He says in Hebrew.
Leonard looks at the woman and young man and kneels before them.
Leonard: "I want you two to stay right here till it's safe, you'll know it's safe once I call you on this... Frequency is 1.05 okay?" He asks in Hebrew as they nod in confirmation.
Fuyuko grits her teeth in pain but she fights through it and gets to her feet.
Brody: "I recommend we head to the Captain's Deck next, stop this thing from moving."
Fuyuko: "Good idea, let's go." She says with Eitan taking point as they make it outside.
Eitan moves forward finding the stairs leading to the next floor as the Captain's Deck is above them. Eitan suddenly fires in single shot multiple times.
Eitan moves up allowing the others to do so and get into cover with him getting into cover soon after.
Eitan: "Shark team when you're able, take the back stairs to the second deck." He orders into his com while watching the right.
Leonard is watching the left side with his MP7 and full autos it into a merc who steps out. The fast fire rate of the SMG makes it somewhat difficult to control.
Leonard: "Scot you're up." He says moving out of the way for Brody to take his spot.
Brody sees a mercenary blind fire an AR forcing him to not challenge it. Brody holds a flashbang sliding it across the the floor and in front of door where the mercenary shot from.
The flashbang goes off allowing for Brody and Leonard to approach and gun down two mercenaries. They quickly get back into cover seeing two mercenaries come out of another room.
Leonard: "Two tangos in the hallway, they came from a room to the left." He directs Eitan over the com.
Eitan: "Affirmative, let's go Nakayama." He says as they both approach the door with weapons raised being shoulder to shoulder.
They both peak into the hallway and shoot the two mercenaries dead. They cautiously enter the hallway and look into the room they came from.
Fuyuko: "Room secure." She says as they begin clearing the rest of the deck.
Brody takes point headed up to the last deck where the Captain's quarters is. Brody aims his C8-SFW at a trio of windows but his instincts kick as he dives behind some supply crates and full autos his rifle at the windows.
Brody: "I count six!" He exclaims and lowers himself changing magazines while Leonard gets next to him.
Leonard full autos his MP7 maintaining pressure on the mercenaries inside.
Thunder: "Enough!" He exclaims through a loudspeaker getting everyone's attention. "One more step or shot to be taken and we're gonna kill a hostage in here." He yells in Hebrew.
Eitan: "Fuck, let the hostages go and you'll leave this ship alive!" He yells back Hebrew.
Thunder: "Oh no no no, you're not the one in control here Friedman." He retorts as everyone is on edge. "Here are my terms! Me and my men will take this ship to it's intended destination, we'll drop the hostages off there but only if you leave and end your pursuit of us, you have ten minutes!" He finishes.
Eitan: "Fuckin hell, we can't let them get away."
Fuyuko: "We can't risk the hostages Eitan." She says with Brody and Leonard approaching.
Leonard: "What about knock out gas? It'll put them to sleep three minutes tops." He suggests holding a small canister containing it.
Brody: "That's nice and all but it won't kick in fast enough before they start shooting the hostages."
Eitan: "Exactly my point, we should just go in and hope for the best." He says but Fuyuko shakes her head. "You're the boss, it's your choice."
Fuyuko: "I got something, you'd likely keep the hostages in front to use as meat shields... The blueprints said there was a ladder that led into the Captain's quarters, we use that and surprise them." She suggests.
Eitan: "Mikey was right when he said you look for all the details, I'll stay here and be ready my guys in while you three catch them with their pants down, prison style."
Fuyuko nods in acknowledgement as she, Brody and Leonard leave.
Brody: "And I thought the Owen was a weirdo." He comments to himself.
The trio begin searching for the ladder which they find seeing a hatch above.
Fuyuko: "Okay, Eitan we're going radio silent." She says into her com slinging her rifle and climbs the ladder with the pistol in hand.
Fuyuko cautiously lifts the hatch up and aims her suppressed pistol around. She climbs up and waits for Brody and Leonard to arrive which they do.
Fuyuko switches back to her AR as she cautiously leads the team forward. Finding the door to where the mercenaries and hostages are.
Eitan: "Everyone on standby, don't look like you wanna shoot them." He says looking on cautiously and worried.
Fuyuko holds a flashbang in her hand worried that this is gonna go wrong. Leonard gently squeezes her shoulder telling her they're ready.
Fuyuko takes a deep breath and tosses the flashbang into the room. They breach the room after it goes off, the three eliminate multiple targets but stop to see Thunder holding a hostage.
Thunder: "No one move a fuckin-" but the hostage gets free allowing for Brody to shoot in the leg. Thunder tries crawling away but Brody steps on his forearm.
Brody: "Now listen closely you fuckin numpty, you can go for the gun and take a load of 5.56 in your skull which I'd prefer as it means one less bad guy... Or you can give up and you get to live in a nice cold cell... Your choice."
Thunder reluctantly gives up as Brody gets him to his feet and restrains him.
Eitan: "Well done, good thing you were in charge." He says with praise to Fuyuko. "I know you... Yisreal Shahar, you were in Shayetet 13 like me."
Thunder: "Nice to see you too Eitan, tell me... How's your family?" He asks knowing they lived in Tel Aviv.
Eitan chuckles somewhat but lands a brutal punch to Thunder's stomach as he kneels down from this.
Eitan: "They're safe and sound, they left to meet up with family in Jerusalem so they dodged a wave of bullets." He says grabbing Yisreal by his hair. "You better hope they don't let me get my hands on you."
Fuyuko: "Sandbar actual this is Kraken, the Crusade is secure and most tangos are down." She says with Sandbar actual acknowledging her statement.
