Briefing

Greetings gents, about 48 hours ago the local ARVN airbase garrison in the Delta was overrun by a coordinated NVA/ VC assault, removing the only friendly base in the area. Thankfully they weren't informed of Armiger's planned operation in the region so its unlikely they'll be on alert when you arrive. You'll be deploy to the region by a squadron of patrol boats lead by a single Nasty PT, using them to move up the Delta towards the suspected temple location. Once the temple has been found sweep it for the Immortal Compass piece and any else of value, before either signaling for helicopter extraction or using the patrol boats to exit the region.

It's likely that the NVA will employ captured US equipment to defend the region from the inevitable ARVN response, unless otherwise informed by myself (Devil) you are to consider any vehicle or emplacement that didn't arrive with you to be a valid hostile target. Given the presence of the NVA expect enemy armor and potentially helicopters. 

Whether or not this recent assault is related to the presence of the Compass in the region is unknown, be ready to fight 2nd Legion or potentially Inferred thralls. There are currently no signs of a Hell Pit in the region however you will be given the ashes just in case.
You will have two respawns for the operation from the Nasty, if that boat is destroyed you'll lose your link to Devil and the helicopter extract.

Show the NVA no sympathy gentlemen.
