Team C will land on the tower platform and draw their fire. Exploiting the weather condition and the blind spots of the Western Tower, Daybreak will circle around stealthily to launch an assault on the Eastern Tower and search for the mission objective. +Taraxacum will stay put and wait for Daybreak's signal. +After we find the objective, we'll retreat ASAP and ensure a successful segue into Operation Kriemhild.
