And for the last time, since you're still sputtering over the phone at me, I did not call Alison first. I called your damned switchboard and she happened to be the voice on the other end.
Here are copies of the files on Mistra's brand new home facility on Youra. It's an uninhabited island in the Sporades chain in the Aegean, see the first file in the batch for a map. As you can see they've been constructing it for a while now, not that I heard anything at all about it while I was still there. We've got nearly complete blueprints here, Nathan - I have no fucking clue what they were doing in a safehouse computer system. Mick's across the room sending copies to the taskforce. (Mac is standing around glowering impressively, but I think he's excited.)
If we've properly decrypted this, Mistra is planning to be all moved in by the middle of this week. At that point we probably have a week, tops, before they start redistributing operations into the former USSR. That's all laid out here too, Nate, right down to their contacts in the local governments; this looks like the whole fucking package. I can't believe we lucked out like this.
Even so, it's not much of a window.

And you're right. Not much of a window.

I know I can have our people ready to go within a couple of days, and from what I gather, that wouldn't be a problem for the X-Men, either. But we need more muscle, that goes without saying, if we're going to do this without a huge bodycount...
