The team is accompanied by a combat nurse and medic that monitor the statues breathing on a regular basis. 10 Royal Marines accompany them for security. The shell covering their 5 teammates seems indestructible. No attempts at cutting them open has succeeded. Probes and tubes sent up their noses have also failed to even enter the nostrils. The encased teammates appear to be breathing normally and appear to be in comas.

The Mission Breifing:
Major Humphrey Quill : “Section N has provided proof that the Nazi’s Ahnenerbe (pseudo-scientific occult research branch) played a major role in the Allied disaster at Dunkirk and the German success at Sea lion. Members of Section N and Q believe they may have found a counter to the Ahnenerbe here on Iceland. Your team’s mission is to fly out to the research station at Eyjallajokull and assist them in any way you can.”
Colonel Robert Sturges: “Whatever this research is it CAN NOT fall into enemy hands. You have limited time. I’m sure you heard about the nearby naval battle with the Germans this morning. I have just received an ultimatum from London and the BUF (British Union of Fascists), we have 24 hours to join the BUF or else.”
