The Dhow

Mosquito Fleet · Mission 12 (Variant 12B) · Larak → Khasab

Operational Briefing

NO ORDER. NO BRIEFING. NO RADIO.

You are in a small wooden fishing dhow. Yusef is at the
tiller. Faezeh is asleep on the foredeck on a folded sail.
The hard drive is in a plastic bag inside Yusef's coat.

Three IRGC patrol craft are sweeping the lane between you
and Khasab. They were your colleagues. Yesterday they were
your friends.

Engine off. Stay in the lee of Hengam. Wait for the patrol
gaps. Cross to the Omani side before sunrise.

Objective

• Primary: Reach the Omani side (eastern edge of canvas) without being detected by any of three IRGC patrol craft.
• Secondary: Engine-off transit; the dhow's engine is loud enough to be heard at 200m.
