Tohaa command decided to secure Zebu from O-12 to isolate toxic spore leakage. Triumvirate has found two possibilities in this situation.
First, this toxic spore is somehow more aggressive to artificial matter than biological tissue. If this can be weaponized, mission related to sabotaging or armored vehicle could be handled much more quietly. The medical records provided by the Haqqislam will be a great help.
Second, by planting false evidence that this leak was not just an accident, but was caused by the operation of the Combined Army, the human sphere will be more committed to the war against the Combined Army.
Spiral Corps team is dispatched to collect spore sample and plant false evidence. Since the operational environment is highly contaminated, the insertion of Triumvirate agents was minimized and a large number of human agents were deployed. Unlike agents of Triumvirate, human agents were received only superficial operational goals. Taagma agent will control human operators.
"We work in the dark and aim for the bright." - Taagma agent, Keejira
The mission was Biotechvore. In this mission, 'try not to die' was my first goal. To move efficiently, I brought 4 Haris team. But this list has some cute trick in it.
- If Draal fails his forward deployment roll(confused deployment), create team like above.
- If Draal succeed, leave him solo and create 5 man brawler team + Kiel-Saan/Taagma(wildcard)/Kaauri team.
To cripple opponents movement, Draal is equipped with Dazer.
Brought Kumotail, Aelis Keesan to accomplish classified mission as much as possible.
The map was actual Zebu Station! Huge thanks to Badlazzor!

My classified mission was Net-Undermine / Mapping / HVT : Identity Check. Luckily, every mission was pretty achievable.
Spiral Corps won the roll off and choose to take turn first.
In the deployment phase, Draal failed forward deployment. So I created 4 haris including Draal. It would be great Draal succeeded his roll and placed Dazer somewhere.
But luckily Kiel-Saan got Total Immunity + Dogged from meta chemistry and Both Diggers got MULTI Rifle from Booty roll.
Brawler HRL team advanced to avoid hazard zone. while advancing, Brawler found Parvati and completely killed her with HRL.
Starmada deployed Kappa core team to block my escape route through the woods. Kappa team didn't had any MSV but they had fireteam bonus sixth sense. So general smoke MSV2 combo was too risky. Spiral Corps decided to pop up the smoke and just pass through.
After popping up smokes, Brawler sniper team advanced to clear off ARO from Epsilon marksman rifle and succeeded to do so.
Kriigel haris moved to block opponent's advance with Pheroware. Kaeltar(CoC) succeeded roll for classified mission 'Net-Undermine'.
Spiral Corps used too many orders for clearing AROs & smoke screening. Kiel-Saan haris and Kumotail & 2 servants was not able to escape from hazard zone. Kiel-Saan & Draal saved save roll but Kumotail, Kaauri paramedic and one of servants failed. The sniper Brawler team member suffered damage too. Brawler doctor resisted but Taagma lieutenant goes unconscious state.
Starmada decided to kill Brawler sniper team which is blocking their escape route. Kappa core team moved to kill Brawler but missile suffered bad range penalty. Missile kappa fell unconscious & team broken.
To open up escape routes for Kappa team, Epsilon HMG moved to eliminate Brawler sniper. But heroic Brawler soaked up 3 order while firefighting.
Starmada assembled Kappa fireteam once more. Kappa team moved straight through the woods to attack Kriigel team. Kappa used last order to fire his sniper rifle but he didn't had MSV. Kriigel won face to face against Kappa sniper and saved his team with his smoke.
Epsilon successfully made Kappa team to escape. But he didn't had enough order to escape hazard zone. Despite of his high BTS, all squad failed to resist. Betatrooper survived with 1 wounds.
The mission had doctor/paramedic healing bonus. And the only doctor left for Starmada was Betatrooper. Betatrooper had no orders to take cover so he was exposed on the ground.
Spiral Corps advanced Kiel-Saan to kill last doctor. Betatrooper succeeded to dodge first but next order, he died.
Thanks to mission doctoring bonus, Brawler doctor managed to revive Taagma. Wildcard Taagma joined Kiel-Saan haris to provide B+1 bonus.
Kappa sniper wounded Kiel-Saan but despite his heroic resistance, all team member was killed except for 1 Raveneye Officer.
Starmada only had few orders left. With those orders, Bronze with redfury advanced and killed Brawler HRL.
2 Diggers used it's impetuous order to enter melee fight but they failed to take down tough Bronze.
Kiel-Saan team killed one last Raveneye Officer.
Aelis Keesan moved into hazard zone through smoke to avoid Varangian Guard and she scored classified mission 'Mapping'. She survived from toxic spores.
The last Raveneye Officer was lieutenant. Bronze fought with Digger one last time but both are failed to kill each other.
The agents of Triumvirate accomplished both operational goal. Kaeltar collected toxic spore samples. Aelis Keesan planted false evidence inside of hazard zone.
Few agents are dead but only including 1 Tohaa agent. Kumotail's cube will be retrieved after quarantine is completed.
