The '''Raid on Chawla Base''' was conducted by [[Team Jersey]], a vigilante group lead by rogue [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Durga]]. 

==History==
The [[ONI]] military base [[Chawla Base|Chawla]] was storing a [[Forerunner]] [[Deep-Space Artifact|artifact]] believed by the group to be broadcasting a long-range countdown timer. Because the [[Electromagnetic Pulse|electromagnetic pulse]] of the artifact activating was powerful enough to knock out the [[Solar System]]'s communications for over seven seconds, they concluded that the risk was too great to allow the countdown to complete, and so launched an operation to sneak into the base and deactivate the artifact.

==Timeline==
*Jan, Jersey, Kamal, and Rani enter Chawla in the guise of soldiers.<ref>[[i love bees]], [[Axon]] [[Media:ILB_Badges_please.ogg|badges_please]]</ref> They park in the civilian parking lot,<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB_Firewall.ogg|firewall]]</ref> and approach telecom shack #4. While Jan distracts the guard,<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB_Packet_monkeys.ogg|packet_monkeys]]</ref> Kamal and Jersey open a hole in the firewall to allow Durga to send a copy of herself into the base's servers.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB roomy_fast_cold.ogg|roomy_fast_cold]]</ref>
*They enter [[Building 41]]<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB_Building_forty_one.ogg|building_forty_one]]</ref> declaring a security sweep and that all personnel exit the building. Private [[Dorkin]] challenges their authority, but Rani uses her keen observational skills and Major [[Standish]] impersonation to scare him away.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB treason.ogg|treason]]</ref> Durga locks the door behind them.
*They discover that the clean room lab is not connected to the intercom and several techs are still inside. The lab also uses a separate server Durga cannot access, forcing the humans to deactivate the artifact for her. Furthermore, the lab is filled with deadly argon, and only Jersey has experience wearing a vacsuit.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB_Argon.ogg|argon]]</ref>
*Kamal helps Jersey dress in the vacsuit locker attached to the airlock,<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB Suffocate.ogg|suffocate]]</ref> while Jan stays in the observation bay.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB_Lockdown_lab.ogg|lockdown_lab]]</ref> Rani sees someone with authority inspecting the front door and goes to distract them.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB_Homing_signal.ogg|homing_signal]]</ref>
*Jersey enters the lab, and the techs pay him no mind.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB_Airlock.ogg|airlock]]</ref> Meanwhile, the people outside the door get frustrated and consider using a grenade to blast it open.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB_Grenade.ogg|grenade]]</ref>
*The techs realize Jersey doesn't belong, and pull their guns. Jan holds her breath and enters the lab, engaging the techs. However, a tech shoots her in the chest before she disables them all.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB she_took_a_bullet.ogg|she_took_a_bullet]]</ref> She exits so Kamal can treat her.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB stay_with_me.ogg|stay_with_me]]</ref>
*Kamal dresses the wound, but Jan refuses painkillers.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB shocky.ogg|shocky]]</ref> Jersey deactivates the countdown, causing the artifact to send out one more massive EMP. As soon as Jersey exits the lab, Durga is sent into a state of insanity<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB_Module_core_hemorrhage.ogg|modular_core_hemorrhage]]</ref> as the part of herself that was sent to [[2004]] by the last pulse rejoins her.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB red_balloons.ogg|red_balloons]]</ref>
*Soldiers blast the door open and arrest Rani,<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB wide_awake_and_physical.ogg|wide_awake_and_physical]]</ref> but she warns them that 'the terrorists' mined the building, so they progress no further.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB spaghetti.ogg|spaghetti]]</ref> Durga psychotically threatens everyone, believing that they are trying to illegally access her data.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB zero_motor_function.ogg|zero_motor_function]]</ref> Kamal realizes that the personality of his deceased sister [[Yasmine]], whose mind Durga was made from, has also been awakened by the EMP.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB_Bug_out.ogg|bug_out]]</ref>
*Kamal and Jersey talk down the schizophrenic AI, and get her thinking rationally.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB_Access_violation.ogg|access_violation]]</ref> Durga assesses the situation and determines that they must create a new exit, so she remotely controls an [[M808 Scorpion MBT]] to blast a hole in the wall, through which they escape.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB with_a_tank.ogg|with_a_tank]]</ref>
*Although Rani is left behind, Durga impersonates a lawyer<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB_Fiancee.ogg|fiance]]</ref> and gets her released the following week.<ref>i love bees, Axon [[Media:ILB thanks_for_coming.ogg|thanks_for_coming]]</ref>
