2012 (8/8) - Having fully recovered from the previous mission, Owen Darkwind and Guido Guiseppe are called into Orion-1's office to discuss the next step in the plan to apprehend Greggor Iradiroff. While investigating the computer seized in Ivana's home, the Tech Team uncovered an address in London. Ted told them that Paul Anderson, one of the last surviving members of the ORION teams of the 90s. had gone missing while investigating an arms dealer names Maccaressh. They are joined by the new agent known as Blind, who has exception skills with a computer, but he is extremely visually impaired without his glasses.
When the arrive in London, the Olympics hysteria has the city in a tizzy, so they decide to stop by address from Ivana's computer, but only find an old man who refuses to cooperate. After some bickering, they decide to head to their hotel to pick up their gear before heading to Paul's apartment. They find his door unlocked, but discover the door rigged with a bomb and being unable to disarm it from that side of the door they decide to go through the back door. Except, he lives on the second floor, so they go through his neighbor's door but find the neighbor's 3yr old passed out child alone watching cartoons and the father on the floor in a meth fueled haze. Owen dismissed the man and made an athletic jump from one balcony to the other where as Guido roughed up the drug addicted father. Guido handed the child over to neighbors and then motivated the father to get clean, by tossing him off the balcony! Meanwhile, Blind guided Owen through the wall in disarming the bomb that if detonated would have leveled three-square blocks. Paul's apartment was turned upside down by whoever took Paul, but they discovered a USB drive in his medicine cabinet that contained a video of Paul informing them that he is likely gone and had a meeting scheduled with Macaressh at the Kensington Station, just two days away, on Friday at 4:15.
As they walk down the street they noticed they are being followed and to buy time, they exchange words with some local thugs hanging on the street and try to tell them to get off the street because terrorists are close. After a bribe from Guido's counterfeit money, the leader of the thugs walks toward one of the Nigerian Nationals who open fire and a crazed shootout ensues. A Machete wielding Terrorist attacks Blind who uses his knife and pistol to fend him off, while Guido opens fire with his machine gun and riddles the car with bullets. As usual, Owen is soon riddled with bullets himself but manages to kill the driver of the car with a devastating death blow (.00 Lucky Break!). One terrorist tries to to kill the team, but is soon labeled 'No Hands McGee' since both of his hands are shot/cut to pieces by the team. They need to take one of them alive, but soon Guido guns down one of the terrorists and then his shot hits a gas tank and a fireball engulfs the last terrorist who, while burning alive, screams a holy word and then shoots himself in the head. (no interrogations for that guy)
Worried that the police will soon be on the scene, the team jumps into their car and speed off for the hotel, despite Owen asking to be taken to a hospital for his extensive wounds. Unable to control the bleeding they bring Owen to a hospital and claim he was caught in the crossfire of the thugs and terrorists. While Owen heals, Guido and Blind must pick up the trail and find Paul Anderson and Greggor Iradiroff!
