Tailgaling is a mission in Operation Indigo.
Plot[]
Simplified Rico, Mira and Tom. This image was released along side the title card.
The mission starts where Smooth Galing left off, with Mira, Tom, and Rico being cornered by a shadowy figure. It steps close enough where they should see them, but it keeps closing in on them. The figure then starts attacking them, with all attacks being dodged. Seeing that attacks do not work on them, it tranquilizes them, hogties them together and carries them to a fire pit. It then suspends them above said fire pit, with the stick they are tied to rotating.
When they wake up, they find themselves in this position, still seeing the figure as a shadow. Thinking they are harmless enough, the figure removes its mask, revealing a woman. She proceeds to remove the suit, causing the trio to gag. However she is fully clothed underneath the suit, relieving them. When she is about to behead the trio in one fell swoop, Rico yells that they are friends of the wind.
Upon hearing this, she puts down her machete and introduces the wind as Lee, and herself as Hem do Zhein. She apologizes for her actions, with Tom sympathizing with her, as he made this mistake before. He introduces himself, then the others do the same. Now that everyone is calmed down, Hem needs to discuss some crucial issues in Deliwu.
This is where the mission ends.
Trivia[]
- The title is a pun on the word tailgating, which is driving behind a vehicle for an extended period of time.
- This is the first mission article for Operation Indigo to have a gallery section, albeit temporarily.
- This is Hem do Zhein's debut mission.
- The fire pit scene is a reference to a similar scene in White Tiger, a mission in Just Cause 2. In both scenes, an ally mistakes someone for an enemy, then tranquilizes them and ties them to a rotating stick above a fire pit. Tom even mentions said scene when sympathizing with Hem.
