op08_intro_subtitle: <b>Rona Sabri:</b> Good morning operators, this is lieutenant Rona Sabri. The Phoenix have been dormant for about a year, which while good for the world at large, has been a real drag for me personally because you know I like shooting them. Fortunately, it looks like Valeria’s merry band of psychopaths is back in business, and that means so are we. Felix will be coordinating the ops on the ground, and I’ve been asked slash told to be on briefing duty until I learn some humility. I got my coffee, some mission briefings, and a text from Felix saying if I screw this up I’ll be looking for work, so I’d say we're ready to go. Welcome to operation Hydra… I’ll try to not get you killed. › <b>Rona Sabri:</b> Good morning operators, this is lieutenant Rona Sabri.
