### Description
The purpose of CIA Operation: Curtain Call was to find and eliminate the [[No-Pats|No-Pat]] terrorist known as [[Codex/Profiles/Loyiso "Oz" Okusanya|"Oz."]]
What follows is a transcription excerpt from Operation: Curtain Call briefing between [[Codex/Profiles/Noah Wolff|SOO Wolff]] and SC Atticus.
WOLFF: We’ve confirmed AO is an abandoned [[Wellspring]] operation in the Richtersveld.
ATTICUS: Big sky country out there, no place for subtlety. You’ll need someone light-footed and trigger-happy. Chaser Squad is a good fit. How dead you want him?
WOLFF: Oz? Orders are blank-check dead from Renoit. Let’s use Nexus Armaments for kit and infil.
ATTICUS: Nexus Armaments?
WOLFF: R&D support corporation – untraceable back to us.
ATTICUS: Always the best toys, sir.
On Nov. 11 at 0900, Fireteam Chaser-1 infiltrated the No-Pat’s Richtersveld base acting under the command of Special Operations Officer Noah Wolff.
What follows is a transcription excerpt from Operation: Curtain Call communications between SOO Wollf and Chaser-1.
WOLFF: Pack Leader to Chaser-1. Satnav confirms positive ID on HVT. Updating tact module with latest coords.
SOLDIER: Solid copy, Pack Leader. We're receiving. Moving on romeo now.

SOLDIER: Pack Leader, romeo nest is empty. Proceeding to lima.
\[Wolff sighs, frustrated.]
WOLFF: Copy, Chaser-1.

SOLDIER: Pack Leader, we’re at lima. Eyes on HVT. Won’t be clean.
WOLFF: Proceed on target, Chaser-1.
SOLDIER: Copy that.

SOLDIER: Lima secure. Confirm 5 KIAs, including 1 from Chaser.
WOLFF: The HVT?
SOLDIER: Popped smoke. But he’s wounded.
WOLFF: Shit. Commence SSE and await orders.
\[comms offline]
WOLFF: Pack Leader to Chaser-1. HVT is 2 klicks to your south. Sending new coords. No toe-tags today, I need Oz alive.
SOLDIER: Confirming coords. We’re oscar mike.
The operation was ultimately a failure. While they succeeded in wounding Oz, all members of Chaser-1 were declared KIA after a clash with Oz’s [[Silver Spear|Silver Spear militia]].
The operation, along with the Non-Patriated Counter Terrorism Unit, was shuttered entirely after the exposure of the United States role in [[Codex/Key Events/The Blackout|the Blackout]] and the disappearance of Wolff from the CIA.
