Operation Return Lotus

Operation Return Lotus​

Top Secret and Encrypted​

​

Background:​

In the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra of Thailand, the nation is in turmoil. The attempted assassination has fueled a political and military crisis, resulting in public unrest, civil disturbances, and potential military uprisings. Intelligence reports suggest the situation is rapidly evolving, with the possibility of a full-scale military coup. Poland, as an emerging global power, has an interest in maintaining stability in Southeast Asia while gathering crucial intelligence regarding the current Thai government's ability to control its military and civilian unrest.

Operation Return Lotus is designed to infiltrate Thailand by embedding operatives as expats returning home, leveraging their cover identities to blend in seamlessly with local society. The operation's primary objective is to gather intelligence on the political situation, military readiness, and public sentiment in Thailand in the wake of the attempted assassination and the rising instability.

---

Objectives:​

1. Infiltration:
   • Primary Goal: Insert a team of Polish Special Forces and POSP agents into Thailand, posing as expats returning home for various professional and personal reasons.
   • Method: Utilize forged and altered Thai passports to gain entry into Thailand undetected, ensuring smooth passage through customs and immigration.
   • Cover Identities: Agents will assume various roles, including business owners, humanitarian workers, and consultants in agriculture, technology, and academia.
2. Political Intelligence Collection:
   • Primary Goal: Infiltrate key political and military circles to gather information on the state of the Thai government and military in the wake of the assassination attempt.
   • Target Areas:
     • Meetings with political figures and business elites.
     • Surveillance of military installations and government buildings.
     • Monitoring of any signs of military coups or internal divisions within the ruling factions.
   • Key Information: Military response to the assassination, any potential shifts in power, and signs of foreign influence in Thai politics.
3. Military Assessment:
   • Primary Goal: Assess the readiness and stability of the Thai military, its willingness to act in defense of the current government or its potential allegiance to opposing factions.
   • Target Areas:
     • Thai military units and garrisons, especially along the border regions.
     • Evaluation of military morale and movement patterns.
     • Infiltrate local networks and military businesses to collect intelligence.
   • Key Information: Military leadership and readiness, potential risks of military rebellion, and internal military fractures.
4. Civilian Sentiment Monitoring:
   • Primary Goal: Assess public sentiment regarding the Thai government and military through social channels, NGOs, and local gatherings.
   • Target Areas:
     • Social media monitoring and local protests.
     • Interviews and interactions with locals in social settings (cafes, markets, universities).
     • Infiltrating grassroots movements and opposition groups.
   • Key Information: Public dissatisfaction with the government, potential for widespread civil unrest, and local support for the military or opposition.
5. Counterintelligence and Operational Security:
   • Primary Goal: Ensure the security of the operation and prevent exposure to Thai intelligence services.
   • Target Areas:
     • Establish safe houses and secure communication channels.
     • Monitor and disrupt any efforts by local intelligence services to identify foreign operatives.
   • Key Information: Ensure continuous cover and minimize the risk of compromise during the operation.​

Execution Plan:

1. Stage 1: Insertion

• Objective: Deploy agents via international flights to Suvarnabhumi Airport, Thailand’s primary airport, under their cover identities as returning expats.​
• Method: Disperse the team across multiple points of entry to avoid drawing attention. Immigration and customs will be bypassed using altered or forged Thai passports, avoiding detection.​
• Timeline: Arrival and entry into Thailand within the next 72 hours.​

1. Stage 2: Establishing Presence
   • Objective: After entry, agents will relocate to pre-determined safe houses in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Pattaya. They will blend into the local population and begin gathering intelligence through covert means.
   • Method: Engage in business or humanitarian operations to maintain cover. All communications will be encrypted, and face-to-face meetings will be avoided unless necessary.
   • Timeline: Initial infiltration and contact with local sources within the first two weeks.
2. Stage 3: Intelligence Collection
   • Objective: Political and military intelligence collection will be the priority, supplemented by monitoring civilian unrest.
   • Method: Establish contacts within Thai political and military circles, attend political events under the guise of expat business owners, and conduct surveillance of military movements.
   • Timeline: Ongoing collection of intelligence. Reports will be sent back to POSP headquarters every 72 hours for evaluation.
3. Stage 4: Exfiltration and Reporting
   • Objective: Once sufficient intelligence has been gathered, the team will exfiltrate Thailand and return to Poland.
   • Method: Extraction will be conducted discreetly, using pre-established routes and transportation methods. Communications will be sanitized before departure.
   • Timeline: Estimated extraction window of 3–4 months, depending on the intelligence collection.
4. Rules of Engagement:
   • Discretion is Key: Maintain cover at all times. Engaging in public discourse about politics or military matters is prohibited.
   • Minimize Interaction with Local Authorities: If approached by Thai law enforcement or military, agents will remain neutral and attempt to avoid further investigation.
   • In Case of Compromise: If an agent’s cover is blown, they must immediately abort the mission and seek extraction, following POSP’s emergency protocol.
5. Communication Protocols:
   • Secure Channels: All communications will be conducted via encrypted channels. Radio silence will be observed unless urgent contact is required. Main form of communication will be utilized on BezpiecznaWiadość; the Polish encrypted messaging service
   • Backup System: In the event of communication failure, a secondary, pre-arranged dead drop method on the dark web will be used for updates.
6. Mission Timeline:
   • Preparation and Insertion: 3–7 days
   • Intelligence Collection: Ongoing, with key milestones after 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months
   • Exfiltration: Estimated 3–4 months from mission initiation
7. Conclusion:Operation Return Lotus represents a critical mission in assessing the ongoing political instability and military readiness in Thailand. The operation is crucial for Poland’s growing influence in Southeast Asia, as well as understanding the potential shifts in power that may impact global stability. The team must remain undetected, gather actionable intelligence, and report back to the Ministry of National Defense and POSP to inform future strategic decisions.

August 2006 - Warsaw, Poland - Secure and Encrypted

The rays of the sun quietly brushed the rooftops of Warsaw with a last bit of gold, casting a warm glow across the historic buildings and allowing the golden hue to dance across the lapping water of the Vistula river as a pair of unmarked vans made their way through the diplomatic quarter. They had made no sudden turns or erratic movements as they travelled through. Just two vehicles, ordinary enough to not arouse suspicion and be invisible. Inside the two vans, silence reigned as eight men and women sat in the rear of the vehicles. Four from the famed JW Formoza and four from the Office of State Protection sat in their civilian attire. Each one of them bore a new name, new background, and the weight of a mission that could be their last.

Colonel Michał Janowski of the Office of State Protection would watch out of his window as the lights of the capital, his home, flickered on like stars in the night as the sun finished its downward journey beyond the horizon. He had served in New Caledonia. Mediterranean Sea. Basically anywhere where the OSP had operated, he had been there in some capacity. But this was a different mission all together. Thailand. This was not a battlefield. It was a theater of smoke, whispers, and rapidly shifting loyalties. A communist nation on the edge. Especially since the bombing in Thailand a few days prior. Next to him, Komandor podporucznik(Lt Commander) Natalia Kaczmarek would do a last minute check on her belongings to insure everything of their old lives had not been carried over. Even her phone had been taken and been replaced with a new one that carried the new Polish encrypted messaging app that had resisted hellish attempts to hack into it. Her new name was Nawarat Bunmee, Thai-Polish humanitarian consultant, freshly “returned” to Chiang Mai.

Thirty-Five Thousand Feet

Split among commercial flights that would go to the New York City, Dublin, London, Lisbon, and Seoul, the teams had begun their dispersal. From there they would converge on Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport in waves. Passports made were made in Poland's labs from the confiscated ones obtained from the prisoners that had been held captive for some time by the OSP, they were very little difference between them and legitimate ones, embedded with minute errors that would elude Thailand's biometric systems. Errors meant to mimic well worn government issued documents, not fakes.

In the galley of Asiana Airlines flight 455, Agent Jakub Koźmiński, would sip warm Oolong tea. Dressed in a rumpled linen suit, he looked every bit of the aging expat returning from a failed tech startup in Korea. His Thai was passable, his story was tight. Born in Lampang, educated in Gdansk, and now returning to help consult on green infrastructure. His real task? Observe military contractors outside of Chiang Mai. From the back of a Aer Lingus cabin, Lt. Cmdr. Kaczmarek sat with practiced stillness, her eyes tracking the quiet rhythm of passengers settling into their seats. A businessman across the aisle struggled with his carry-on; a child a few rows up tapped restlessly on a tablet. She adjusted the silk scarf over her shoulder and offered a polite smile to a flight attendant walking past, her expression calm, unreadable. Every detail was absorbed, catalogued. Nothing out of place—yet.

Landing in the Lotus

Thailand welcomed them with rain.

Monsoon clouds hung low over Suvarnabhumi as Natalia stepped through the gangway and into the terminal building of the airport. As she made her way to immigration, she had her passport ready and in the open as she approached the line leading out of the gate and towards the single person who would permit or deny her entry into Thailand. Her documents, very much real, marked her as a Thai national returning to Thailand after having lived abroad for most of her life. Aboard the Asiana Airlines flight anticipated to land thirty minutes later, Agent Jakub was preparing himself for the landing and his attempt to enter into the country. Ahead of Natalia, already handing his passport over to the Thai official, Colonel Janowski had a smile on his obviously Thai face as he greeted the attendee. "Wai." He would press his hands together in a prayer like fashion before bowing his head until his fingertips touched his nose. "Phǒm dee-jai thîi dâai glàp bâan"

Private and Encrypted​

Suvarnabhumi Airport was the marvel of socialist engineering, constructed following the 1998 Thai Revolution. The interior, filled with LCD screens, broadcasted local and regional public service announcements and upcoming democratic assemblies for Thai citizens to participate in. The lack of product or service advertisement or luxury brand stores always shocked many visitors who were unaccustomed to Thailand’s socialist culture. Unlike international tourists, Thai citizens traveling through such an airport moved purposefully. Unhurried, they were not constrained by the traditional capitalist anxiety of rushed hours or stressful lives. Thailand’s confederal six-hour worktime recommendation relieved many citizens to pursue their fulfillment, hobbies, and communal lives.

The immigration officers, biological men and women, or sexually diverse, greeted each other with the standardized Wai, where a person merely raised their hands at their chest level to symbolize equality. “Welcome to Thailand, Sahai.” The officers would inspect the passport before providing an immigration form to visitors. They would continue walking along the line after the staff had inspected their passport. A temporal lounge welcomed them as other airport worker-owners guided and assisted them in filling out the form for international visitors. Thailand’s open border policy would allow them into the country after such a necessary procedure.
