Campaign Objective: Track

The track objective has two possible outcomes or ‘win‘ scenarios. The first is the successful physical tracking down of the item or person described. The second applies more to items such as information and things. The second win situation comes from determining the source of the leak, transit, money laundering, etc. This means tracking how the item moves, not just where it goes.

Criminal: Your mission is to track the movements of a known criminal. The purpose of the tracking might be to gain an inside point of view to the criminals habits and allies. That information could later be used as part of an infiltration mission. Or perhaps you are tracking a criminal in the hope that he or she will lead you to other criminals, stolen merchandise or a ‘big boss’. Ideally the criminal should never know you are there, otherwise the purpose of the mission is lost because the criminal no longer sticks to their normal routine.

V.I.P.: You have been ordered to shadow a V.I.P. as a bodyguard or maybe as an assassin. The person who ordered you to shadow the V.I.P. has requested that you remain covert in your tracking, the person is not to know you are there until you have no other choice but to reveal yourself. One way to track without being noticed is to become part of the normal scene where the person is seen. To accomplish that you may need to go undercover, seek employment in the V.I.P.’s entourage or other close association.

Information: You have been charged with the job of locating an information leak. The leak may be a physical spy or an electronic observer. To track your pray you are going to have to watch very closely the way in which the information moves. You may need to create false information in order to track your pray. In an electronic world you will have to be very careful to protect yourself from prying eyes. Watching information move on information superhighways might leave you wide open to others watching you and the information you are watching.

Missing Weapons: A report has made its way to your desk that several weapons have recently gone missing. You job is to find out where they went, who took them, and get them back. Another team has been assigned to apprehend the criminal, but until that person has been identified you will be working the same case. Once you have determined the where and why’s of the crime you must act to retrieve the weapons. That track might lead you to Black Market Arms Dealers, back street gang members, local Triads or other illegal operation. Or maybe the criminals are not gang members and Black Marketers, but corrupt members of your military unit. A Supply Clerk here or a Base Commander there, a proper investigation could lead deep within the military.

Medical Items: You have been asked to bring in a shipment of medication to a local doctor, or military physician. When you discover that a large quantity of the drugs you were asked to get have gone missing. While the medications themselves are legal, there is a huge Black Market for them. You have got to get them back before they reach the open market. Your investigation starts with a local person, or low ranking soldier, with a real addiction problem to Morphine. He informs you that the drugs are making their way to the Black Market as we speak. A successful mission means recovering the drugs, tracing how they got away from you, who did it, and where their ultimate destination was.

AWOL Military Personnel: You have been awoken some time in the early morning by a phone call. You have just been assigned an AWOL/Missing Person Case. What you cannot fathom is how the person managed to escape/be captured. It quickly becomes apparent that the person had inside help. While another team of trackers hunts down the missing person, you have decided to take a different path. Someone around you managed to provide the person with travel plans, documents and the means to escape. Now you have to discover the mastermind’s identity to close the AWOL/Missing Person ring.
