''You have been chosen to be one of the few, <s>the strong, the Elite A-</s>team of Syndicate Nuclear Operatives. Your mission, whether or not you choose to accept it, will be to destroy Nanotrasen's most advanced research facility! That's right, you are going to Space Station 13.''

==Your Objectives==

# Retrieve the [[High-risk_items#Nuclear_authentication_disk|Nuclear Authentication Disk]] (located on the station).[[File:NuclearDisk.gif|50px]]

# Escape alive on the Syndicate Mothership.

==But First, You Must Learn How to Crawl==

Before you do anything, you must properly prepare yourself. There's no need to rush, instead take the time to discuss strategy with your squad mates - a job well planned is half done!

'''The checklist is as follows:'''

# Memorize the nuclear activation code

# Move the mothership near the station

# Infiltrate

===Communication===

You have a special radio frequency, set in an encrypted wavelength. This is how you will, and must communicate with your team. Communicate passwords, safewords, the nuclear code, and attack plans on this channel early, there is no telling who might get the headset later.

Passwords are only useful if you have a door guard in the Mothership, or some one with the Military PDA. Make it as you want, said over the Syndicate frequency.

The very first thing you should do is memorize the Nuclear code! The team leader will probably tell you the code, but if they don't, it should be on a piece of paper somewhere in the room. Every member of the team must know this code since there is no way to know who will be alive at the end of the mission. This changes every time.

After this, your team should go through a plan of attack.

===Ordering Gear as a Team===

Once your team has bought the items essential to your plan you can now selfishly buy what you will need for the mission, however you need to pause and think hard. What [[Syndicate Items]] will you need? Which will cause a huge backlash if used against your team? Now, think what everyone else will likely need. The problem with the agent ID is the access -- you have very little, but an emag or a powersink will change that in a moment. You do not have an ID or a position at the station, so don't worry about people finding the emagged doors. Everyone on the team should have one. Voice changers are wonderful if you are trying to sneak in, as are chameleon jumpsuits. Bombs are great in the right hands. Energy crossbows make excellent side arms. Energy swords, especially if you make double-bladed eswords, are good for blocking enemy fire.

When you die you will explode, knocking down and damaging people around you. So do not do it next to your teammates, only next to the station crew.

===Equipment===

* Jet Harness filled with oxygen

* Syndicate Mask

Now, you have your equipment, tools, and toys. But the trouble is just getting started as you strike the heart of the wild.

You are equipped and armed with the best, but what matters is the will to win, and the thirst for blood. Couple that with wisdom, and a large helping of [[Robust|know how]], and you have a chance. But what makes the Syndicate agent successful isn't their red suit, or revolver, it is their team.

The Syndicate Mothership is NOT in proximity of the station when the nuke team is first sent out. One of the Nuclear Operatives must use the control computer to move the Mothership into close proximity to the station.

Do not worry too much about the crew metagaming their way onto your ship early in the round, the spot the ship appears in is <s>randomized in five different spots</s> chosen by an agent from a list of several locations around the station. But they still may bumble onto the Mothership.

You need this disk, but as it could be guarded by the [[Captain]], [[Head of Security]], [[Clown]], or the [[Head of Personnel]]... you best go in without second thoughts or distractions. Even a lure and false positive to get the disk holder to where you want them will be effective.

The disk's whereabouts can be located using a '''Pinpointer''', assuming you aren't a chucklefuck and remembered to take one with you. Do not destroy the disk, it makes your life harder.

Once you get the disk, you need to rush back to the Mothership, make sure your team knows you got the disk, and to defend the Mothership and throw off anyone chasing you.

There will be the nuke, now follow these guidelines in order:

* Click it with your open hand.

* Set the time.

* Set it to Armed.

* Take the Nuke Disk out.

* Either Guard the disk, space the disk, or something to throw off the crew's pin pointer.
