"One moment, Doctor."
*Tilly radios his hopefully whisper-mic'ed sniper observers and requests a situation report on the warehouse from their vantage.*

"Armed men patrol the perimeter...a tower has been erected over the warehouse....all friendly forces appear to be safely camoflaged but unseen approach will be difficult...all men are in position and can likely take out most critical points of resistance from a distance...unsure what counter-measures the suspects could employ. Over."
"Very good. Captain Dates, have your men stand ready." *Tilly radios all SWAT members.* "Gentlemen, you are cleared to fire if threatened. Anyone raises a gun to shoot, you take them down. Standby for further instructions."
*He hands a megaphone to Voshkod and leads the Russian up a hilltop, crawling the last few feet. Somewhere along the way he grabs a Carl Gustav, just in case.* "Alright, Doctor, you're on."

Yuri Voshkod takes the megaphone. "Thank you, Minister. Listen, if it doesn't work out well . . . then good luck. You'll need it, I expect." The old general stands up and starts to walk down the hill, ignoring the whispered protests from Tilly.
Near the base of the hill, out of line of sight from the compound, he stops and fishes around in his pockets for a moment before retrieving a pack of nasty Russian cigarettes. Just the thing for the nerves, he thinks. He continues walking toward the gate, and soon is in sight of the guards.

As the OSI CEO approaches the gates, there is a crackling over the MILE's radio...
"This is Gates. We've got movement...lot's of it! There seems to be a general scrambling of personnel in the compound. No alarms or anything, but a lot of movement. Looks like something is ready to go down!"

(OOC: Not that anyone reading would have any knowledge of this, but...) While Zuckergußgebäck continues to sleep, an unseen person slips past his room, stopping momentarily at the door. After a few moments, he moves on, just in time to avoid a patrol of guards.
"Hold your fire, Captain. Wait until you've got a weapon raised and ready to fire.
Snipers, what do you see?"
Hurry up, Doc, Tilly thinks.

Voshkod, now standing on the road near the front gate (and an easy target for any sniper, one from von Maazarin, OSI, or Tilly), pauses again, as if winded from the walk, and takes out another cigarette. He slowly lights it, and stands still, smoking it, as if awaiting something.
The wind blows gently and a crow caws in the distance. From within a guardhouse, it is clear that 2 OSI employees can see Dr. Voskod, but they do not react to his presence.

"No movement," comes the voice of Dates over the radio, "Nothing. Guard tower looks deserted. No movement on the property. Looks like two OSI guards have a clear line of Doc Vok but are taking no action. Somthing's going on here chief, but I can't tell what it is."
After a brief pause, his transmission continues, "Confirmed around the perimeter. We've got a handful of OSI employees but they don't seem to be taking any actions. It's like they are waiting for something. Also, no non-security related personnel are out and about. When we arrived there were workers, forklift drivers, and some evil looking guys in lab coats with white cats and nasty scars, but now, just the OSI guys. We figure it's been about 15 minutes since we last saw anyone wandering around in the open."
Yuri Voshkod takes a long, last drag from the cigarette and then tosses it to the side, where it falls to the roadside like a dying firefly. Then, ignoring the megaphone, he shouts, in a voice that has carried over battlefields and missile silos:
"All OSI personnel! This is Yuri Voshkod. Police and SWAT teams have surrounded this compound. They are coming in, and you are not to resist them. You are also to prevent anyone else from resisting them! Secure your weapons, and anyone else's weapons, and open the gate immediately!
"Everyone else! Lay down your weapons immediately and surrender to OSI personnel and you will not be harmed!"
Voshkod begins to march toward the gate.

Voshkod begins to march toward the gate.
"Great, he's nuts," Tilly mumbles to himself.
"Captain Dates! If Voshkod doesn't get himself shot in the next few seconds and it looks like OSI is actually going to comply, send your men in to secure the place."
*Tilly tenses, ready to either move over the hill and toward the compound if things go right, or snap off a rocket if things go wrong.*

The guards at the gate remain still as Voskod approaches. Somewhere else inside the compound, there is the sound of running and an alarm horn sounds. It sounds for about twenty seconds and then is turned off.
Dates reports by radio to the MILE that his men can see some minor struggles between OSI men and some of Von Maazarin's employees, including a large Asian man with a bowler hat and a very, very tall man who seems to have metallic dentalwork. But these are few and scattered, and the OSI employees appear to prevail.
The gates leading from the main road to the property swing open.

Yuri Voshkod stops at the now-opened gates and turns back toward the hill where Minister Tilly is. He gives the Minister a jaunty wave and a small salute, and then walks into the warehouse, unholstering his Makarov.
*Tilly orders Dates and his men to enter and secure the facility. Placing the Carl Gustav down (carefully) he hops up, draws his USP, and starts down the hill after Voshkod.*
When the MILE arrives inside the gates of the compound he finds Yuri Voshkod discussing the situation with an OSI-uniformed officer, who appears to be in charge.
"...all secured," the man, Henri Dessalines, finishes, just as the MILE walks up.
Inside the gates, OSI security men stand around, some calmly, some apparently nervous. They are armed, but have not drawn their weapons (with the exception noted below). All weapons appear to be legal weapons licensed by OSI with the MILE's office.
From one building a team of four armed OSI agents appear to be leading six other unarmed men with their hands on their head into a fenced in storage area of building supplies. They keep the weapons trained on the men, then close the gates behind them, locking behind a chain-link & razor-wire barrier.
Another OSI agent runs up to the group and says (audible to everyone but the distant Lundgren who is holding a great hand and hasn't abandoned his card game yet), "Everyone accounted for except for the ones guarding the package. They don't look they'll go down without a fight."
He trails off, just noticing the silent cues from Henri to stop talking.
