Birthday Party – report ID 22 in Gone Dark metagame.
Overview[]
Grim: We've got a line on a former Darah Dan Doa operative who's back in his old stomping grounds, using Engineer money to put the band back together. Langley's worried he's going to try to recreate the group's most famous op, so they want us on hand, just in case.
Charlie: What do you know, the CIA was right. The DDD guys did hit the embassy again. We cleared them out, but it looks like they got away with something - a file from the ambassador's office marked ACHEEN BIN HIR. I'd ask the ambassador, but he's still in the hospital, and time's a-wasting.
Charlie: Bin Hir's a local terrorist strongman in Aceh, having split off from GAM a few years ago. He's got a camp southeast of Kuta Alam, and we dropped a man in as a "recruit" to monitor their commo. He says all he's picking up is chatter about a birthday party in the city of our affections. Sounds like...a party?
Grim: "Birthday party" is standard code for an attack. Our "friend" from the Darah Dan Doa just got popped by police in Manila after a bar fight, but he's not talking, and the locals aren't taking our warnings seriously. We could grab the guy and interrogate him ourselves, or wait, watch and see if Bin Hir's people show themselves. What's the play?

Briggs: If we'd waited, Bin Hir's op would have gone off without a hitch. The intel we got from questioning the witness gave us everything we needed to stop it. Now we just need to pay for a new wall in the Manila city jail, and we're doing fine.
