Situation

5 Years ago, Vrana Industries purchased all the assets of the Zargabad Oil Co. in Zargabad, Takistan. Since that time they have aggressively expanded their holdings in Takistan and today are the largest oil company in the region with Tanoa Oil coming in a very distant second.

Unfortunately this put them directly in the cross hairs of the Takistan cell of the Ansar al-Sharia militia group. The group has made direct threats against the oil company which until now have been primarily ignored.

This week US, British, and Israeli intelligence have agreed that a major attack on the Zargabad facility has moved from the planning stage to full execution. Vrana, having ignored the earlier warnings, is now faced with inadequate resources in place to protect their Zargabad facility. On the recommendation of the CIA, Theseus has been given the contract to protect the Refinery and possibly the storage/housing facility if required.
