## Casualties and Losses

**Operation Norse Wind** (「北欧の風」作戦, *"Hokuō no kaze" Sakusen*?) is the code name given for the United States' plan to capture and kill Othinus during the international coalition's manhunt for her.

The operation, as with all other efforts the international coalition did in capturing Kamijou Touma and Othinus, later ends in failure after Roberto Katze himself orders the operation to be suspended, changing it to the United States only observing them, though continually acting as a "collar" for them if they step out of line. Prior to the mission being aborted, members of this operation were briefly attacked by unmanned FIVE\_Over Modelcase\_"RAILGUN" units from Academy City for their own attempts in killing Touma and Othinus, though there are no reports of any casualties. Later, with the international coalition sparing Othinus and Touma's life.

It would be the last time any serious effort the international coalition would do in hunting down Touma and Othinus, ending with them only observing the events unfold, though it is likely Elizard was aware of Index and Leivinia Birdway's efforts.

## Principles

The operation is separated into two teams: diversionary unit and the commandos. The diversionary unit uses 50+ American generation 3.5 tanks. Since a large unit could not be brought in on such short notice, the Danish military is tasked to stir up the area using the American tanks that have been lent to them during World War III. Meanwhile, the commandos, led by Sergeant Ingrid Martin, will slowly move alongside the tanks, locate anyone trying to escape them "from a different angle", and eliminate them.

For the operation to work both teams must work synchronously, despite the fact that the Danish military and the operation leaders not knowing of the presence of the commandos in the area. This is because the commandos must hide their locations from them and even the president to increase their level of secrecy.

When they catch Touma and Othinus, the commandos are to knock them out, then set-up a secure live video with the president in the UN Headquarters in New York City. After establishing a secure line, the commandos are to kill Othinus in front of a camera sending the footage to the president in real time. A .45 caliber handgun will be used to destroy her brain and heart. Once death has been confirmed, three different poisons will be injected into her at twice the lethal dose. Her major tendons and nerves will also be severed with a knife, and its surfaces will then be sealed with instant glue. After collecting a sample of her DNA, her body will be flow to Alaska. This is to be proof that Othinus has been killed to deter remnants of GREMLIN to claim that she is still alive. It is unknown what fate awaited Touma after he is captured.

## The operation

After Touma and Othinus leaves Billund, they notice the tanks and predictably respond as expected. Ingrid Martin, Jaguar, and Lynx, later finds both of them, and confirms that they have the two surrounded. After some minor banter between the three, Ingrid notices that Touma and Othinus has crouched down to hide themselves from the tanks. Seeing this as an intent to continue resisting, she orders Lynx and Jaguar to ready themselves as she wants the job to be finished quickly. With the two other confirming their actions, after Jaguar asks if she actually has girly things like periods, Ingrid stands up from behind Touma and Othinus just two meters away. Touma and Othinus is caught unawares by them, with Ingrid putting pressure on Touma's carotid arteries thus rendering him unconscious. This is a deliberate choice in choosing Touma first as she knows he is important to Othinus and that she is wary of her powers based on America's experience with Gremlin in Hawaii. Othinus, seeing this, swears at Ingrid, prompting her to use Touma as a human shield against her. Distracted, the others then show themselves, one of which fires a shot at Othinus. With Othinus preoccupied with the thought of being surrounded, Ingrid takes out a knife and throws its butt toward the center of Othinus' head knocking her out. Their attack took only twenty seconds.

When Touma comes to, he hears Ingrid arguing with her comrades in English, though he cannot understand them. One of them argues why Ingrid didn't just kill Othinus with the knife, leading to another to defend Ingrid's actions, reminding their comrade of their mission and that shooting or stabbing Othinus may not work. Ingrid says that they still don't know the details of the magic used in Hawaii, but says that since Othinus needs to at least to think about to use magic, she knocked her out while she was too confused. However, Ingrid notes on how it was too easy. They later talk about waiting to create a secure video link to the UN headquarters. A necessity, as if the line is intercepted it could lead to Othinus' soldiers to interfere. Seeing that the line is up, Ingrid orders for them to move on to the next part of their mission, and orders them to review their process. When Touma looks up, he finds that he is on the ground as they review the gruesome method of killing Othinus in front of a camera and sending the footage to the President live, and her body's eventually secure disposal. One of them reminds them to take a DNA sample, though then complains about preserving Othinus' corpse as the remnants of her organization would rally around it. Ingrid says that is what the higher ups has decided and it is not their place to argue. Moreover, she explains that if her body is incinerated then there'd be no proof that she was truly dead. Finally coming to, Touma asks where Othinus is. He tries to get up from the ground, but is stepped down upon by a soldier pointing a gun to his head. Ingrid then tosses a radio to Touma, telling him that the President has something to tell him.
