[REDACTED], Eastern Europe. 17th of [REDACTED] 198- [REDACTED].

Strike Team Phi-Espsilon "Thunderbolts" has been tasked with investigating, assaulting, and resolving through whatever means necessary, the disturbance contained within the anomalous weather effect.

The weather effect correlates to the arrival of a previously encountered anomalous zone codenamed "Barovia". Previous instances have been difficult to resolve, due to lack of prepared response, and lack of information about what is within.

Barovia is apparently unable to be exited until the Critical Target 'Strahd von Zarovich", some kind of local ruler, is killed. This is made more difficult by the anomalous area being highly dangerous, and von Zarovich residing in a fortified residence.

Phi-Epsilon will be deployed from a [REDACTED] aircraft flying out of [REDACTED] using a High Altitude, Low Opening (HALO) drop directly above the suspected location of this fortified residence. They are to persue the mission, there is no option of exfiltration before success.
