Operation K.O.
The Objective
Create multiple layers over the capital - New Delhi (AS14 FOXTROT-06) with field agents operating from 4 cities.
Operation Statistics
MU count: 1.1B
Layers: 30
Cities: 4
Cumulative Distance Travelled: 750 kms
Dawn broke on the 1st of February 2015 just like any other Sunday. It promised to be lazy, spent over brunches, laughter and long talks. But for some Enlightened agents the day promised more. In a coordinated effort which lasted nearly 12 hours with BAFs and a multi-million MU count, the agents created 30 layers spanning 8 cells and covered all of Delhi NCR in a sea of green.
The following is the story behind a job well done.
Inception
It all started on a cold winter night in December over a discussion between agents @GreenPresident, @riverwild and @theblue9422bond. After a few consecutive RES fields were created from a city less than 25 kms from New Delhi, the ENL were tired of simply undoing their work. But they also noted that none of the those fields covered Delhi. They went outward. The risks were low.
Resolving to do better, a bold and intricate plan was drawn-up to cover this highly active cell with a green field. The cell was AS14 FOXTROT-06. This would mean weeks of planning, identifying agents to travel and coordinating with multiple cities to ensure the fields went up from everywhere possible. In stepped agent @BoyWithNoName.
Planning
@BoyWithNoName along with myself and @xiiifriday, laid out a plan to put on layers using Panipat, Karnal and Jaipur and Neemrana with Kanpur as the main anchor. This continued in sync with the work of harvesting and exchanging inventory with agents travelling between the aforementioned cities to ensure that things went smoothly and everyone had the required number of keys.
Execution
Neemrana Team
For the Neemrana team, the op officially began at 10:30 am from Greater Noida. They went about destroying blue cross-links before leaving for their port of call.
@GreenPresident improvised on the plan, suggesting they throw a preliminary link from Gurgaon to Agra, acting as a preventive blocker which would be undone at the last moment.
Meanwhile, agent @nandx64 positioned himself in Greater Noida in order to tackle any possible blocker originating from there.
Panipat Team
At noon the trio of @BoyWithNoName, @euphoricsaint and @Dey21 left for Panipat. The first order of business was to take out blue blockers on their way. Racing against time through impossible traffic, the group was able to remove the blockers and depart towards their final destination by 3:30 PM. At the same time, Karnal linked to Kanpur to create an insulating blocker, effectively ending any chance of RES interference. With a two and a half hour drive ahead, it was evident that the team would not make it to Panipat for the 5:30 PM checkpoint. Testing the speed limit on the highway, they could arrive at Panipat by 6, where they were joined by local agent and one man army - @tEcHnoSaVy.
Karnal Team
Being native to Karnal, agents @Thund3rDrag0n and @DadyByte were the first to get in position. They made creative use of their free time, stuffing their faces with food and spamming the Zello channel ; eagerly awaiting their turn to throw on the green veneer.
Jaipur Team
Jaipur was tasked to stick the final nail in the coffin. Being a tourist hotspot, the city sees a lot more action from visitors than the resident agents. And it just so happened that agent @zequib from Western Australia (backpacking across the country) was in the right place at the right time.
Link Established! Field Established!
1830 hrs : With all teams on alert, Panipat created the base link to Kanpur and we started layering from Neemrana. Agent @Hatecrew threw the first field of the op. It was an ecstatic moment as the green cloud flooded the capital city - over 25 million mind units - and we had only just started. The second field was thrown by @sj130791, and @slackdragon nailed the third.
1900 hrs : The subsequent 9 layers were created by Panipat with the team taking turns in pairs, navigating a busy highway. Poor network coverage in pockets didn’t help, but they got the job done.
2030 hrs : The last field came up from Panipat and the baton was handed over to Karnal, where the 2 agents went on to complete their 7 layers in record time.
2100 hrs : Karnal throws it over to Jaipur, where the 4 agents have been waiting since 5 in the evening.
2205 hrs : The last link is thrown by @Diaeresis, drawing the op to a close. Tired but happy, worn out but content, all teams start heading home after a long day. All that remains is the celebration. Till then, we saviour the moment!
LANDMARKS
In the wake of our achievement, we learnt that 2 in-game world records had been broken:
1. Highest ever score (for one faction) in a single cell, calculated at a checkpoint: 181M
2. Most checkpoints crossed by a set of fields created at a single location (in one go), measuring over 1 billion mind units: 3
Additional Information
The 11 layers from Jaipur were taken down after 3 checkpoints, although agents @Divaksh and @jindalankit re-created 4 of them with the keys they had, immediately after. Yet another layer was added from Ajmer (beyond Jaipur). The fields in totality lasted a total of 11 checkpoints
