Belfast 1972 Mission

== Background ==
On 21st July 1972, which would come to be known as Bloody Friday, the IRA exploded at least twenty bombs across Belfast following the breakdown of talks between the IRA and the British government. One of these bombings took place in a filling station on Upper Lisburn Road.
== Infraction ==
At least one Reclaimer operative was involved in relocating the Upper Lisburn Road bomb, which did minimal damage in the original history, to Belfast City Hospital, where it would have instead claimed many lives.
== Mission Outline ==
Captain Chris Darby was responsible for tracking the bomb down and taking it back from the Reclaimer operative. However, he miscalculated the resistance and, in spite of Agent Tom Burt's capable driving skills, he knew he would be unable to return it to its original location. Instead, Darby therefore sought an alternate location to have the bomb explode. Agent Ethan Taylor, using intelligence from the Eye, directed Darby and Burt to an empty house on Maryville Park, and so Darby threw the bomb into the house with just seconds before it exploded. However, the Eye had got its information wrong - for just the second time ever - and Darby heard screams from inside - a female voice screaming the name Lisa over and over. Darby later returned to the scene and discovered evidence suggesting that Lisa had been a baby.
== Repercussions ==
While the bomb did not detonate where it should have, Mike Duncan confirmed that the changes to the timeline had been minimal, and there were no records of casualties from the house, meaning that the mission was technically a success.
However, the death of Lisa would later be the reason for Fran Grenouille murdering Darby in Berlin.
