**Ends of the Earth** is the eighth mission in *Ready or Not*. The LSPD raid a home on the beachfront for distributing and illegally modifying weapons.

## Mission Brief

**﻿Team Lead**: *Okay, Okay, everyone, take a seat, here's what we've got. We've got an interesting one on our hands. The faces you see on your tablets are the Tran brothers. They come from a normal family up in Kawayu. I know it's not our usual haunt. But we've got an arrest warrant for all three. An ongoing operation watching a car dealership in North Hills, which is a front for a weapon modification ring. We've got two guys on the inside at the dealership, and they noted that a lot of really interesting equipment is coming into the shop and being collected by Thau Tran. These parts are not your run-of-the-mill car parts either. We're talking about everything you need to convert a semi-automatic into a machine gun. These Tran boys are in above their heads and swimming in dangerous waters. The intel we got from inside the dealership is linking back to some large and very dangerous names. These boys don't know what they have gotten themselves into.*

**Officer**: *What are we looking for in the house?*

**Team Lead**: *I'm getting to that. Their eldest, Anh, is a mechanical engineer. They are getting the weapons from somewhere; he's modifying them in the attic with parts he orders from this North Hills dealership. We don't have the confirmation, but I suspect they are selling them through it too. Things are a little complicated, though. The boys live at home still. Their parents are older and retired. The boys' mom, Hue Nguyen, is dying. She's got stage IV lung cancer. She's the one who called us and gave us the information. Turns out they are struggling for money and can't afford her medical care. Her sons turned their hand to this as a means of getting enough cash to pay for her treatment and help get their dad out of debt.*

**Officer**: *Shit.*

**Team Lead**: *Yeah, and she's bedbound in the house. So when we get in there, we need to move quickly but carefully. I want a small team on the inside, with two teams waiting on sides 1 and 3, just in case things go south in a hurry. These boys are going to be armed, but I want to avoid a gunfight if we can do so. The parents will be home, and we have nothing tying them to the guns. But we need to clear that house, Mom included. We'll have an R/A on the scene to assist. We need to get into that attic and secure as much as we can. We need the Trans to be taken in so we can learn more about what they are doing and who they are doing it for.*

*Any questions? Any issues? Anything that's been missed? Great. Good luck out there, and stay safe.*

## Connections to Other Maps

**Greased Palms:** The Los Locos member found at the Tran residence connects the Brothers to the gang, who are presumably distributing the guns modified by the Brothers.

**Buy Cheap, Buy Twice:** The Russia Mafia using Cesar's Car Yard as a front are supplying the Tran Brothers with the weapons for their operation. Their arrest results in the police investigating the Car Yard and placing it under surveillance, leading to D Platoon being dispatched to the scene.

**Hide and Seek:** The Human Traffickers are indirectly supplying the Tran Brothers by importing illegal arms into the country, which they exchange with the mafia for women to auction off as sex slaves in Port Hokan.
