+{{a|opcobooneadventure|{{image|SIV|png|}}}}===Synopsis===
+MCA drops remaining irregulars unit on the beach at Cayman brac. The mission is to liberate is a detachment of SICAVs help captive by enemy stocklending counterparts who are using it as a cheap source of sales credits.
+===Prologue===
+“When it came, the end-game came down fast and hard. It was in a skirmish with a rogue [[structured investment vehicle]] in the Caymans.”
-=== Present ===
+=== Beach landing ===
-Bundie
+Group Captain David Bundie set his jaw. He scanned the ragged remnants of his company, lined up on a pew and hooked into the [[static margin]] line. Of the original 60, seven soldiers remained.
-Biffer
-Chippy
-Frenchie
+The old [[MCA]] transporter was a Spartan crate. It rattled and droned and swept low across the water.
-Swart
+The combatant units around the Cayman theatre were battle-hardened [[Limited liability company|LLC]]<nowiki/>s. They went right down the capital structure. Bundie mandated prep for [[Equity securities|stocks]]. Shoulder-mounted [[Master Securities Lending Agreement|Mizzlers]] and, in case of [[Agent lender|ALD]] cointel interference, a brace of bump-stock [[Pledge GMSLA|pledge model]]s. To handle [[synthetic equity swap|synthetic]] light arms, they packed with late-model [[2002 ISDA Master Agreement|ISDA]]<nowiki/>s retrofitted with [[dynamic margin]] [[CSA]]s.
-Tucker
+And then there was Frenchie. He had an assortment of exotic continental fire-irons: an antique [[FBF]] side-loader, a vol-insulated CMOF and his trusty [[OSLA Anatomy|Osler]] if they really got in a jam.
-Lance Corporal i/c of Radio
+Bundie addressed the line. “Okay, lads, this is it. Anyone who wants can stay —”
-On the comlink:  a Risk Officer. Whom I think we will have to call cassandra.
+They didn’t let him finish. They barked, “Sir! No, Sir!” in staccato unison.
-=== Beach landing ===
+They wouldn’t have it any other way: it was written in their eyes: it flowed wordlessly between them. They functioned like a single organism. Bundie looked down, shut his eyes and smiled. “All right, my lovelies, all right.”
-Group Captain David Bundie set his jaw. He scanned the ragged company, lined up on a pew and hooked into the static margin line.
-The [[MCA]] transporter was an antique Spartan crate. It rattled and droned and swept low across the water.
+The [[Confirmation - ISDA Provision|confirm]] squawked. The [[Close-out netting|netting flag]] flashed steady green.
-“Okay, lads, this is it. Anyone who wants can stay aboard —”
+“All right, lads, we’re over the target trade date. Let’s rock this”
-The men, barked, “Sir! No, Sir!” in staccato unison. They numbered off by instinct. Of the original company of 60, nine remained.
+They set their [[IM]] dials to 20, shuffled along the cargo deck and numbered off as they dropped out of the [[Master Confirmation Agreement|MCA]].
-“THREE!”
+Bundie said, “THREE.”
-“SEVEN!”
+Biff said, “SEVEN.”
-“EIGHT!”
+[[General counsel|Chip]] said, “EIGHT.”
-“TWELVE!”
+Swart said, “TWENTY-FIVE.”
-“TWENTY-FIVE!”
+Tucker said, “THIRTY-ONE.”
-“THIRTY-ONE!”
+The kid looked with the radio unit gulped. Just him and the Frenchman left.
-“THIRTY-NINE!”
+Frenchie grinned. “''Allez, garçon''.”
-“FORTY-SIX!”
+The kid dithered.
-“FIFTY-ONE!”
+“Nervous?”
-“SIXTY!”
+The kid nodded.
-They wouldn’t have it any other way: it was written in their eyes: it flowed wordlessly between them, when he met their collective gaze. They functioned like a single organism.
+“First time?”
-Bundie looked down, shut his eyes and smiled. “All right, my lovelies, all right.”
+The kid scowled. “I’ve been nervous plenty of times.” He bolted, hollering, “THIRTY-NINE.”
-The [[Confirmation - ISDA Provision|confirm]] horn squawked. The [[Close-out netting|netting flag]] flashed green. The nine extant irregulars dropped out of the [[Master Confirmation Agreement|MCA]]. They set their [[correlation]] dials to 1.0 and went in [[delta-one]] configuration. They formed a tight landing pattern on the beach.
+Frenchie slapped the tin, yelled, “SOIXANTE-NEUF” and fell away towards the roiling combat theatre. The [[Master Confirmation Agreement|MCA]] clambered into the sky.
-Frenchie was oldest in the company. He came down last. He snapped-off his chute and pulled a [[three-point hero drop]] in the high-tide flotsam. The boys yukked it up and moved out.
+The lads fell through anti-avoidance flak and swingeing searchlights Their chutes bloomed with collateral as they struck their margin thresholds. They floated down in a tight pattern onto the beach.
-They were armed for [[Equity securities|stocks]]: their Cayman Corps adversaries were battle-hardened right down the capital structure: Bundie mandated shoulder-mounted [[Master Securities Lending Agreement|Mizzlers]] for all. In case of [[Agent lender|ALD]] cointel interference, they carried a brace of bump-stock [[Pledge GMSLA|pledge model]]s. For [[synthetic equity swap|synthetic]]s cover, they backed it up with late-model [[2002 ISDA Master Agreement|ISDA]] retrofitted with [[dynamic margin]] [[CSA]]s.
+The kid with the radio unit hit the deck first. Frenchie was last: with five feet to go he snapped-off a salute and pulled a [[three-point hero drop]] in the high-tide flotsam.
-Frenchie, of course, had his usual assortment of exotic concoctions: an antique [[FBF]] side-arm, an old CMOF and his trusty [[OSLA Anatomy|Osler]] if they really got in a jam.
+[[Rehypothecation|Rehypothecator]] choppers hung low: they made a devilish din, rucked up the tree-top foliage and drew attention from the unit. The boys yukked it up, packed up their ATEs and hit the tree-line.
 === On-field briefing and the Liquidator ===
-The unit formed up under the trees. The MCA choppers hung low: they made a devilish din and rucked up the tree-top foliage.
+The unit formed up under the trees.
 Bundie clamped a hand over his hat and bellowed over the racket: “This could get ''tasty'', lads. Hostiles in these parts are well-organised and well-armoured: [[limited recourse]] shielding fore and aft.”
