Jace came down from the tower after his sniper rifle had gone Winchester, he switched his M110 for his HK416 with the standard SOCOM set-up. The Master-at-Arms and CIA GRS were working the internal perimeter. An Army Special Forces CRF and a Marine Expeditionary Unit were in the AO, but they were both at least three hours away. Jace was on his way to Med Bay when Commander Rorke came on the radio.
"Echo-Actual to all stations, ISR shows multiple enemy forces gathering in the east, west, and north of our pos—"
Before the transition ended a rocket soared through the air, taking out the UAV. Seconds after multiple RPGs barraged the base, everyone returned fire; before the drone went down the SEALs used the laser sights on their weapons to mark the nearby assailants. They quickly cut through their opposition but this was only a temporary fix without ISR they couldn't see what else was to come. Jace finished adjusting his night vision to see four enemy assaulters, he quickly eliminated the threat with precision shots.
"Echo-three to all call signs, enemy combatants have breached the camp, I repeat hostiles are inside the FOB, over."
All of Julian's attempts to communicate with the others were fruitless, he only got static. He made his way to Med Bay, he engaged two gunmen on the way. There he met with Gibbs, Amato, and Ziva, they were all armed.
"Comms are down, militants have breached," said Jace. "At this point, we'd have people guarding the armory, techs will try to restore communications, and my team will be flushing out intruders."
"We need to get out of here," said Amato.
"This has to be Saleem," said Ziva. "He wasn't at the compound, he left enough people there to not leave suspicion."
"He must've figured out where we are," clued in Gibbs. "Took whatever forces he had left and circled in on us."
The four immediately made their way to the TOC, Gibbs stayed close to Ziva while Jace and Raya cleared the way. Once there Jace immediately met with Hall and Rorke, the former had been treated for gunshot wounds to the right leg. Tony and McGee were also there, the latter was on a computer helping Rider and Grey scrub intel.
"We're working on getting another UAV and getting ISR back online," said Rorke. "The ODA and MEU are on the way for our extraction within an hour and a half, until then we're on our own."
"Comms?" inquired Jace.
"Spotty but we got the word out," responded Bennet. "We'll regroup here in an hour."

Once Grey and Rider were finished they grabbed their gear, getting ready for extraction. Jace gathered his gear, Bennet had secured a small arsenal from the armory, the former refilled his mags and grabbed a few grenades; a standard M67 and a thermobaric. Jace looked to his father and the other NCIS agents, three of them had the necessary combat experience to endure what was coming. Tony and Tim on the other hand had only been in tactical situations stateside, he didn't doubt that they were team players, he just didn't want them to get hurt.
