Once the usual pain of the procedure had cleared, restoring his ability to think clearly once more, he had given his attention to reviewing the parameters of the mission with intent focus.

The Insight launch is scheduled for the next day, but there are known threats to the operation. Threats that endanger HYDRA's goals. Threats the Winter Soldier can eliminate. If he does his part, then Command will be able to do his, and HYDRA's guardianship of the world will be complete.

The Winter Soldier reviews the files on the targets, assessing their threat level, and coordinates with Rumlow and STRIKE on the plan for the following morning. They consider and reject smuggling him into the helicarrier bays; the security risk is too high, and he'll need more flexibility to move if anything should go wrong. Rumlow and his team will handle interior operations; the Winter Soldier will ensure no one on the outside is able to stop the launch.

He leaves under the cover of darkness and takes up position near the Triskelion, hidden high up in the shadows of one of the aboveground hangars.

Once he's established, all that's left is to watch and wait.
