Spycraft Boot Camp I - v1 - Crafty Games

When Ravana relocated his operations from Afghanistan to
India, he needed to make some alterations to the office building
he purchased in Bangalore, for which he needed a permit. This
resulted in a meeting between Ravana and Reepa, which ended
favorably for both sides and sent Reepa down a path she would
never have predicted. His charisma and zeal were very attractive,
and Reepa found herself falling for him. Over the course of the
next few weeks, Ravana recruited her to his cause and Reepa left
the government to pursue extra-legal work for Ravana.
She now spends most of her time gathering information
about local construction and using her infiltration skills to gain
access to restricted information about power grids, military operations,
and anything else Ravana might find useful. Because
Ravana prefers to attack the infrastructure of a region, rather
than its population, Reepa has become adept at recovering structural
plans, electrical network diagrams, and telephone company
schematics, which are turned over to Gena for demolition.
Reepa’s own minions are relatively unskilled teams who provide
cover for her in the event of a botched infiltration and who
are often charged with simple salvage operations. Hifazaat is not
wealthy and the needs of the organization must be met, so
Reepa’s people often resort to thuggery and theft to keep things
running. While Reepa would like some more skilled workers, she
takes the cast-offs from Gena’s organization because it is simply
easier and cheaper than recruiting and training her own. Reepa
does steep her minions in her own Ravana worship, making them
perfectly willing to die for the cause if she gives the order.
For Reepa, the gravest injustice of her position is the presence
of Gena Petrinko. The Russian is a glory hound with delusions of
becoming a one-stop-shop for terrorists, or so Reepa believes.
Reepa fears that Gena will pervert Ravana’s mission, turning a
noble cause into a deadly inferno of destruction and depravity.
Reepa spends as much of her time as possible battling Gena’s plans
and offering plans of her own. So far, Ravana is content to listen
to Reepa, who advocates disruption of infrastructures with directed
attacks rather than the wholesale slaughters proposed by the
soldiers. She is happy, as well, that Ravana is not out bringing
down the wrath of the United States on Hifazaat by claiming
credit for what they are doing. To her, it is more important that
revenge be taken than it is for her to get credit for exacting that
vengeance.
Reepa is also willing to work with other organizations and has,
in fact, sent many terrorist cells around the world information she
originally gathered for Ravana. In this way, she teaches even amateurs
the best way to strike at power grids, telecommunication
facilities, and other infrastructures vital to the western way of life.

Talash: Also known as the Seekers, this group of minions is
viewed with much disdain by the rest of the organization. Reepa
uses them to scavenge useful materials and as throw-away thugs,
but even she has little respect for their feeble abilities. Still, their
ability to die for the cause makes them useful in many ways, so
the Seekers have become the disposable heroes of Hifazaat.

Plot Hook #1
Rolling blackouts are having dire effects on the east coast of
the United States and most of the Middle East. In each case, the
blackouts are traced back to critical lines that have been cut and
back-up resources that have been incapacitated. While the incidents
are non-violent, the number of deaths and the effect on
industry are both drawing attention from the intelligence agencies
in the affected countries. So far no one has claimed credit for
the attacks, while Moslems blame the west and American blames
any number of Middle Eastern terror groups for the disruptions.
Tempers are flaring and intelligence sources want the culprits
found before the situation bursts into an armed confrontation.
Possible Truths
Behind the Blackouts:
1. Information Reepa gave to a terrorist cell was not used by the
cell – it was posted to various internet sites and is now in the
hands of dozens of terrorists who lack technical sophistication
but are more than willing to cut a power line or two to facilitate
other terrorist activities.
2. A criminal syndicate approached Reepa some time ago, posing
as a terrorist outfit with designs on staging ‘awareness raising
events’ throughout America. Reepa gave them the information
they needed to disrupt electrical and communication services,
which they now use to cover up a spate of sophisticated
burglaries and industrial espionage actions.
3. Gena has accelerated Ravana’s plans. She has taken her agents
off the reservation and is now hitting as many of the targets
identified by Reepa as she can, as fast as she can. Though still
loyal to Ravana, Gena wants to force him to adopt her plan of
mercenary terrorism by upping the stakes for his operation.
She also plans to begin crediting the attacks to other terrorist
cells to put the pressure of investigation on them – once they
realize they are under such intense scrutiny they may be willing
to entertain her offer of agents and expertise to help them
carry out their plans at a distance.
