	I do not believe that BE would carry out such a mission (hostage
	rescue is dangerous as hell) but if you are running a myo macho
	campaign and want to get some fear of God on players who are
	too cocky for their own good, this would be good. 

	Nothing beats survival as a source for resourcefullness and 
	desparation heroism and hysteric self-sacrifice and bitter
	revenge. Especially if at the end of it characters finally 
	get caught, which kind of creates a new adventure...
