## Cherryessa Farm

### Time

1430

**Carriers of the Vine** is the fifteenth mission in *Ready or Not*. It has D Platoon being dispatched to pacify a new age cult committing acts of vigilantism across Los Suenos.

The mission takes place on a dilapidated rural vineyard home, inhabited by a misandrist cult of women. It consists of 4 main buildings. Three of the structures are part of the main house which most of the cultists inhabit, the final is some sort of chapel, most likely used for rituals. The entire map is full of the cult's symbols, as well as several disturbing locations, such as a torture room. Randomized explosive traps may spawn on several doors. Most of the cultists are well-armed and highly dangerous, although a few are unarmed and relatively harmless. The player must arrest 2 suspects, Elaine Raskin, the leader of the cult, and Eve Nader, another suspect. Elaine may be found in the structure containing the tower, while Eve, as well as a room containing evidence, can be found towards the rear of the main house.

## Mission Brief

**Team Lead**: *Ok, this is going to be quick and dirty. We've got an officer down and one more under fire over at the Cherryessa Family Vineyards in Santa Vino. We've all heard the stories about that place, but something escalated. We don't know much about this place, so we'll be going in somewhat blind. Officer Garcia is stranded at the vineyard and taking heavy fire from all sides. Sergeant Perez is dead. LSPD is en route with all available units responding, but we need to get out there and shut it down.*

*The Cherryessa Vineyards have always kept to themselves, but this morning, the LSPD got reports of a group of women from that compound assaulting a male inside a convenience store. They fled the scene in a white Ford, and the plates traced back to Elaine Raskin.*

*Now, Raskin is an interesting character. She's ex-USIA. She got a discharge, but everything relating to her is sealed. IF she's leading this thing, then we've gotta be smart with how we go about everything.*

*The Cherryessa Vineyeard is a large complex with three primary buildings and also several small outbuildings that pose a threat. However, Officer Garcia is pinned in the central courtyard. Our primary goal is to get her out of there and then set up a perimeter and try to make contact with Raskin.*

*The layout of the vineyard is being uploaded to your devices now. Study it as we get move, because there's no time to waste. There's been plenty of shit shows over the years with incidents like this, and I will not be having another one.*

*Any questions?*
