Once you Id Yasin its Panther.

(Ranjeev starts talking about comms)

RANJEEV 

Crytpo will be the wide band segment 6-7, we will be on two hour comm. Window. The region is very steep so expect typical comm problems. Problem so don’t jump to conclusions till we miss two windows.     

 (JAYE going through the rules of engagement)

ROBIN

Any Queries?

JAYE

Who’s handling operations here?

ROBIN

Myself, you gotta problem with that?

JAYE

Yeah, fuck

ARJUN

Come on man you are an analyst, an analyst handling operations is a bad omen

RANJEEV

This mission is a FUBAR.

ARJUN

What does FUBAR means?

RANJEEV

Fucked Up Beyond all Reconnaissance

( vikash interrupting them)

VIKASH

There won’t be any good omen when you’re on a covert op, especially when you are in Pakistan, you do what you are ordered to do no questions asked. PLO is dispersed get some sleep if Sibyllin is a go we will be leaving at 0700 hrs.

(Every one expect vikash and robin leaves the room)

ROBIN

Thank you for defending me, life is imperfect your boys should learn that

(Vikash gives him a “Shut the fuck up” stare)

VIKASH

Yeah, holed up inside TOC life is imperfect for you but down there for us it’s Unforgiving.

ROBIN

I didn’t have any choice man I was just following orders

VIKASH

Now you know why I defended you and don’t ever insult my guys. Studying of combat strategies from book won’t buy you guts nor brains.

(Vikash leaves the TOC by slamming the door)
