@Verrone the original mission was to pick up the kid (said to be 7 or 8 years old) and bring him home. An escort mission, really. It was supposed to be a simple task, but because of spies n shit (and the fact that the kid is probably gonna be plot-important, so probably a VIP) they were compromised and had to continue on the mission without the rest of their squad. The team leader they saved (the one that had to get his wounds stitched) was told to rely on Noh if shit hit the fan, so that's what's happening. The weird cow-horse meat thing was passwords decided on ahead of time - if they say the right keywords, they're confirmed to be the client.
