Cold Trail Tour Leg 5

Leg 5 — ESUP → ENBO Pajala, Finland → Bodø, Norway

A rapid redeployment flight after intelligence suggests the convoy may be attempting a coastal extraction route toward Norway.

Wrong Direction

The fifth leg changed the entire operation.

New satellite fragments revealed one convoy vehicle moving west instead of east. Analysts suddenly feared the rogue unit intended to reach Norway’s coastline for maritime extraction rather than disappear deeper inland.

That possibility accelerated everything.

Your aircraft crossed back toward Norway through violent winter turbulence while fighter patrols swept coastal fjords searching for suspicious vessel activity.

The weather deteriorated rapidly.

Snow squalls erased visibility repeatedly while Arctic winds slammed the aircraft across mountain corridors.

Then came another discovery.

An abandoned convoy truck.

Engine still warm.

The crew gone.

And inside the cargo compartment: maps marked with multiple coastal rendezvous points.

The trail had split again.
