Inside: Quinjet ⌨️🎭🕊

A group of SHIELD agents, led by Brock Rumlow, is standing around with Amy, Steve, AnnaBeth Williams aka Black Shadow and Alexandra Jean 'AJ' Barton aka Crystal Dove, all standing and looking at a screen with the missions target on it.

Brock Rumlow informing everyone about the mission as he stands beside the TV screen, tapping it, "Target is a mobile satellite launch platform, the Lemurian Star." AJ/Crystal Dove, AnnaBeth/Black Shadow, Amy and Steve/Captain America at the front, listening intently in that order, "They were sending up their last payload when pirates took them, 93 minutes ago."

Steve/Captain America asks Rumlow, "Any demands?"

Brock looks at Steve/Captain America, answering without hesitation, "Billion and a half."

Amy asks Rumlow as she fiddles with her Stark-tech in her hands, "Why so steep?"

Brock answers Amy, "Because it SHIELD's."

Steve/Captain America realizes, looks down at the girls on his left, "So it's not off-course. It's trespassing."

Anna/Black Shadow defends as she doesn't look away from the screen with her arms crossed, "I'm sure they have a good reason."

Steve/Captain America mutters to the girls annoyed, "You know, I'm getting a little tired of being Fury's janitor."

AJ/Crystal Dove tells Steve/Captain America calmly as she glances at him, "Relax. It's not that complicated."

Steve/Captain America looks back at the screen, "How many pirates?"

Brock taps the screen again, answering, "25. Top mercs led by this guy. Georges Batroc." He pulls up a photo of Batroc on the monitor screen, "Ex-DGSE, Action Division. He's at the top of Interpol's Red Notice." The three women looking at the monitor with a focused expression, ready for the mission, "Before the French demobilized him, he had 36 kill missions. This guy's got a rep for maximum casualties."

Steve/Captain America asks Rumlow, "Hostages?"

Brock taps the screen again, "Oh, mostly techs. One officer. Jasper Sitwell." He pulls up Sitwell's photo on the monitor, "They're in the galley."

Amy asks out loud but mostly to herself, "What's Sitwell doing on a launch ship?"

Steve/Captain America looks down at his helmet in his hands, "Alright, I'm gonna sweep the deck and find Batroc with Amy." Amy nods, "Anna, you'll kill the engines and wait for instructions. AJ sweep the lower decks for backup." Anna/Black Shadow slowly nods as she still stares at the screen while AJ/Crystal Dove gives a sharp nod, "Rumlow, you sweep aft, find the hostages, get them to life pods, get them out. Let's move." He looks up to Rumlow who nods.

Brock tells his team, "STRIKE, you heard the Cap. Gear up." Everyone turns around and starts to move.
