The dismaying thing about Flute's orders is that even Flute does not know who, exactly, they came from, although it does seem that she has worked with this entity before and considers them reliable. There is a certain amount of bureaucratese, but behind that, the intent is fairly simple:
Facilitate the assassination of General Shuos Jedao by supplementing the historical attempt on his life. There is inherent risk in the mission, but above all things, avoid being outed as out-of-timestream agents, even at the cost of the assassination's failure, which at least will leave us no worse than our starting position. The worst-case scenario is Jedao himself becoming aware that he's a target of interest to out-of-time powers. He is to be assumed mentally unstable.
The rest of Flute's team will primarily be offering realtime surveillance support to the Lanterner assassins--acting as handlers, if you will. There's a backup plan to vent atmosphere in the entire section of the conference where Jedao is present; this will necessitate sacrificing the Lanterners, and a great many bystanders, but can be made to look like sabotage by a third party.
