The Blackhorn's Last Mission

Military action

The Guardians had been long planning a final strike against N.E.R.V. and the Beast. They sent a highly-skilled strike team into N.E.R.V. HQ to steal a copy of the entire database. The Guardians hoped this would reveal the plans of the Beast, allowing the Guardians to counter them. This was timed to be a last-minute action so the Beast wouldn't have time to alter its plans.   The Strike succeeded, the plans were passed to the Blackhorn, the remaining loyal fragment of the Guardian's revolution in the Districts. By this point it was little more than a drug-selling street gang, but one old-guard Guardian remained there to oversee the operation in secret.   The datacrystal was lost when N.E.R.V. assault teams raided the Blackhorn headquarters, denying the Guardians any insight into the Beast's final plans.
