==The Assault:==

Once within the facility Captain [[Devan Sash]] split the away team into two forces. The technical team comprised of mostly science and engineering officers whose responsibility would be the retrieval of data and destruction of the facility itself under Lt. [[Ahmed Ibn Salid]]. The Security team under himself and his 2nd officer, Lt.(Jg) [[Eric McDermott]] would lead the attack on the facilities security detail neutralizing it and taking control of the illicit research facility.

Lt. McDermott and Salid were able to achieve complete surprise in their respective missions with Salid being able to retrieve hundreds of terabytes of data and with the assistance of Lt. Prothal destroyed the facilities equipment and thereby rendering it useless.

The attack on the facility defense forces was equally successful with McDermott and Sash achieving complete surprise and despite being outnumbered, forced the defending security force on the defensive. The final collapse of resistance occurred when Lt. Salid’s team was able to move into the rear of the defending force catching them in a wicked crossfire. Minutes later all effective resistance collapsed.
