And this.

(For those on the deck that fail the site and hearing roll,I’m going to coin toss to see which side will well you see. Heads for Port, tails for starboard…..and I got heads. For Henry past his hearing test, so he is fortunate then the NPC that is patrolling on the same side.)
Henry, you hear what sounds like a blowhole exhaling from a whale.You have enough time time to dodge the spray, but Murtada isn’t so lucky as he drenched in sea water. He jumps and yells in Arabic, catching the attention of the other guard on deck.
“This is Night-three, we heard someone yelling on Portside.” said Andreia over the radio. “Are you alright?” After wiping the water from his face Murtada, before replying. “This is Night-five. Im fine, just a little friend from the sea gave me a splash of water to wake me up. Problem is I’m all reddy awake.”
(For Denis site roll)
When the fog rolled in ,Hannu switched the cameras to heat vision. You what looks like a pair of whales swimming close the Port side of the ship. Before you or Hannu can radio the rest of the team, one of the whales exhale and wets one the gourds in the proses.
(That was just bit of humor and a bit of test with the dye. I hope that didn’t bothered you that much)
-
(At Ikaika and Krevin: Well the to pass the site roll, you need to get a 8 or higher.)
-
( looks like Krevin is the only one that got a pass. PM you what you notice ass for the rest of the players you don't see anything odd. The game will times get into the night shift around 0100 hours.)
When your shift starts, the Green Whale is sailing away from the Persian Gulf into the Arabian Sea. About three hours into your shift a fog that is so thick that you can only see 10 feet in front of you, unless you have a thermal viewing device. Adam has one on his LMT MWS. unfortunately the battery and the device seemed to be a dud. The former Marine radio in and went down below to get a new one. Some of you can hear him grumbling and cursing as she goes down the steps. “Piss! Shit! Mother fucker! I should have check the bloody batters before this!”
Only the Dennis and Hannu who are monitoring the cameras in the bridge can see past fog with some decent clarity.
Those of you we're patrolling the deck can hear a odd sound coming both the port and starboard sides from the water.( Do a listen roll and a sight roll with +2 penalty save for the player in the bridge )

Andreia roll her eyes when she herd Henry’s joke. “Sorry I’m married with a kid. So no thanks .”
Brian then answer his qustion. “Captan is a local and the crew is mostly too. They have a good record , which is why Maxergy hired them. “
Marek chatches Jake pulling out his cigaret. “Um Jake…..didn’t Brian say in the briefing that none of us can smoke on that ship? Hell I don't think you can use those vapor device.” Murtada finally spoke since the beginning of the road trip.”It great that I’m going out on the water. I can sleep better in rough waves better then that damn van. Oh and I think that Texas Ranger has chewing tobacco if you like that stuff.”
Adam smiled when he herd Jake question. “I remember the marching songs from the RM. Also have guitar and know a few folk songs in case we get bored sea faring ones.”
Some fellow employees, mostly from the morning shift grab the containers with you weapons and equipment from the cargo van and bring them in the ship. As you board the ship you three man waiting for on the deck. On man is chubby middle age Arabian man wearing a captains uniform and cap. There 2 thiner and younger man next to him.“Greetings my name is Khayrat Tabassum , welcome aboard on the SSGreen Whale . This my first mate, Imen Jaffar and my second mate, Aaliyah Fararag.” He said to you all as he puts his hand out to Brian ”Welcome aboard!” Brian shakes his hand. “Thank you captan.” The former Seal the orders the morning team to bring the weapons and equipment in the storage compartment and get reddy for there shift when the ship leaves the docks.
(okay I want all of you to do a observation Roll.Use a 10 sided dice.)
You go to in your cabins and wait for your shift at night. What do you do before you go to sleep?
-
(Sorry, that I cant think of any more to write in this turn. I give more details on my next turn.)
Hannu sighed.“Sorry, I’m just worried that Clear Water and Maxergy is making a bit of a gamble. Who ever was running that scandal might still pulling the strings today.I’ve seen that sort of crap while working for the FSIS” He turned hs gaze though the window. After a awkward silents he look at the group”I never told you that I hated my former job, did I”?
A few minutes later, the convo managed to arrive at Umm Said Industrial area. You can see the typical site of warehouse, oil refineries, factories and business buildings before arriving at the port. After going though the Guard post you see a large green and white oil tanker appropriately named the Green Whale.As the convoy stops , the Main Supervisor, Brian R Callaghan, a 45 year old Irish American man with salt-and-pepper hair and pretty athletic build for his age walks out of the lead vehicle and turns towards you. “Alright people, lets meet and greet the crew of the ship then bring our gear onboard.” He said in a friendly but professional voice. He then starts walking towards the ship.

(And Im sorry for not running the game. Im also finding a game of hunter so I was a bit desiccated.)Adam was chuckling with with Lucius and Jake about how esay the job will be and A-stan till Dennis told them not bring up the subject. “Sorry there boss …… I did mean to bring back some bad memories. I had a bad time there too. I’ll just leave it at that.”
“Lets just change the subject then.” Andreia said while putting away her phone. Before anyone can say more, Hannu finally broke his silents. “ So what do you think about the companywe are work for? Maxergy I mean.”
“What about Maxergy?”Adam replied. “We been with many oil companies before.”
Hannu shook his. “Yes i know but have you herd of what trouble this country been in this past few years? They lost there diplomatic ties after this country was supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran.* Sure, It got it’s trust from its numbers back resonantly, but why would Maxergy would come back here so early?”

(OK, everybody is here. We will do a few post before the PC go on the ship. Sorry for the wait.)Oh and here is a video about Privet Maritime Security. https://youtu.be/SyPzeZYeQZ8 )
“Because its a joke Henry.” British Said while rolling his eyes. “Im just trying to leading up the situation here.”
The former cop once agin replied in annoyance at Adam. “I think what most of use need is some rest before our shift. That nonstop plane ride has taken a tole on us, especially Henry.”
Marek was listening to Lucius’s enthusiasm with working on a ship. The gunner opened his mouth but was pondering on what to say to him. Stupid deep breath and spoke.“I don't want to upset you ,Lucius , but at night and/or in dense weather those little skiffs the pirates usually use can only be seen at 500 m or less. And if it's not too windy those things can go 25 to 30 knots, we would have a or so frusta respond before they get to the ship.”
Merek then answered Jake. “Our head manger, Brian was a Navy SEAL and Murtada and Adam had plenty of time out on sea. It’s rely to that different then a land base operation. No need worry about it.”
Almost everyone(The night shift NPC’s) look at Dennis when he ask the question, with surprise. It took a moment before Marek finally break the silence. “You okay Dennis? You seemed a bit wound up.”

(Well, its been almost a week. I guess this game will back and forth between me and Ikaika till the other player join. I should have started this game “after“the holidays.)
The big Polish man lost his attention of his book when he heard Henry ask for more water .” Another bottle!? You'll get water poisoning if you drink too much!”
Adam pulled his earphones out and replied to Marek in a cockney accent.” Oi mate, I think he needs a little bit more water after tripping out on those pills.” A Smart ass
grin formed on his face.Andreia lowered phone and gave the Brit dagger eyes.” Seriously!? You been working
with him for almost a year and you don't know he gets sick whenever he gets on the
plane?”
Adam put his hands up like he was about to get about to get hit. “Whoa lass! I was just joking. I know perfectly well he's taking that dramamine for. You been working with me long enough to know that'll like to kid around, right?"Despite all the talking Mutada was fast asleep. And Hannu was muttering something in Finnish.

(Well, setting up this game took longer than I expected it to. Trying to figure out the plot and rules and other details was a bit tough.
I just have to add two things to the rules.
First, someone told me that the guards would normally only be armed with non-lethal weapons like a baton and/or a taser. The only time you will be carrying your guns will be up top on the deck and in the bridge. The lethal weapons will be in a locker with a retina scanner.
The second thing is that your PCs can get killed or seriously injured. Don't get too worried, it's not going to be a meat grinder or anything like that. I want you to win. I just want to put in a risk factor.Okay, let's start this game
that I call "Black Smoke Over Blue Water")https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_B2h_rMTK8
Early morning, the cold of the Arabian night was giving way to the dry heat of the desert sun. The sun was already warming up the 25 miles of black highway that connects the Qatari capital of Doha to the Umm Said industrial area.
A column of five vans are heading down this road. A common sight to see, which is a good thing for the contractors of Clear Water. Even though Qatar is far from the hell holes of Afghanistan and Iraq, it helps to be discreet, especially since the country just gained its trust back with its Arabian neighbors. Maxergy was one of the first foreign oil companies to take advantage of the lift of the embargo. And Maxergy need it since they had one of there ships got damaged and another they have to pay a ransom in secret.

You are riding in a van with your coworkers, waiting to arrive at your destination. Murtada Asim, one of the riflemen and former sailor of the Royal Jordanian Navy, is trying his best to get more sleep, but the occasional bump in the pavement kept waking him up, making him mutter in Arabic. Another rifleman, or should we say woman, a former Brazilian Highway Policewoman named Andreia Silvia, is taking pictures of the scenery and typing on her smartphone. A British Marine named Adam Baker, who is the designated marksman, is listening to what sounded like trip-hop on his phone. The machine gunner, a big Polish man called Marek Eliasz, is reading "Cell" from Stephen King. Judging by the look on his face, he doesn't look like he's enjoying the story. And finally Hannu Tommi, who worked for Finnish Security Intelligence Service as a surveillance equipment technician, was just staring out the window.
What do you do to pass the time until you arrive at the ship?

If the US(Or any NATO member) gets involved in going into the zone it going to be small numbers(Special forces) rather then large a large force.They will mostly go in there covertly, disguising themselves like the local STALKERs. If they work on more on finding out how the zone tics rather try to go full ham like the Ukrainian did they might do a better job.
I don't think a conventional force going into the zone is really a good idea. During the same time first mission happened the US was still in Iraq and Afghanistan, that would make logistics even more of a nightmare.
There another problem if the US sends boots either normally or covertly. A big chunk of the zone is in Belarus, a country that is more friends with Russia then with the US.
There would be a lot of political turmoil if the RU finds out there Yankees mucking about in zone.

OK, Im going to mention something I didn’t put in the rules the first time.
First, BasileusIoannis said that there is no oil terminal in Doha but there is one 25 miles from it at Um Said. So I'm thinking the game will start with the contractors riding in shuttle vans to that terminal.
The briefing will happen before the game starts so it doesn't slow it down too much. Your PCs are not to carry their weapons until the oil tanker is out in international waters (it should take 15 minutes for the ship to get out there at full speed, but you’re playing the Night crew so it don't really matter that much.)
The weapons themselves will be in locked storage units with eye and fingerprint scanners. Other high tech gadgets, laser trip alarms, thermal cameras, encrypted phones and tablets, and some less high tech stuff like razor wire.
There will be 2 riflemen patrolling starboard, 2 on port, 1 bow with the machine gunner, a sniper/marksman on top of the bridge, and the sub supervisor and camera operator are in the bridge.
Ok now I need to plan how the story gose in this game.
