- For the attention of Division Leader 88241, Combine Intelligence and Networking Division
- Commander,
- Enclosed are brief summaries of the operations I have worked on under the jurisdiction of
- Intelligence Agent and/or Operative, as authorised by the the Sector Eighteen Commander,
- 17919, and continued on a priority level by your countersignature and approval of the
- CIND division, carried on to a higher level by your recent promotion. They detail a quick
- layout of information gathered prior to each case, as well as each operation's overseeing
- unit (if any), followed by a run-down of what the specifics of my involvement in the
- operation might have been, and the after-effects of the same.
- :: open log
- :: log A [ITA-32450-SSP]
- facts Having spoken with 32450, I was assured of his instability - the symptoms of his
- condition included dilation of the pupils and a cold sweat - and confirmed that he had
- been mindwiped. With the help of the present VICE squad-leader, I issued an official
- notice of suspension to Citizen Killigan, Tonto, previously [CCA.C18-KING.SqL.32450]. I
- escorted him to an apartment in the 45th Block and ensured all of his Civil Authority
- issue was confiscated, and left him - upon order - with [CCA.C18-JURY.01.11381].
- result [CCA.C18-KING.SqL.32450] suspended from Civil Authority Ground Protection, on
- order of [CIND].
- :: log B [ITD-11381-DSV]
- (( This was my input to CCA.C18-JURY.01.11381's PK. I.E. the bit where I ordered him
- dead.
- CCA.C18-GHOST.04.20848 twisted his suspect around harshly. Putting the palm of his hand
- flat on the citizen's back, he shoved the man against the wall. Muttering something about
- anti-citizens, the unit unclipped a zip-tie from his utility belt. Squeezing on the
- citizen's wrist, he tightened the lock, binding the man's hands. The unit began to
- unceremoniously search the citizen, making sure his vocoder captured and inhumanly
- distorted every word of, "This, citizen, is what you get for treating me like your
- friend." 20848 tensed the instant he felt the transponder device in the citizen's pocket.
- Without another word, he withdrew the radio and smashed it on the wall against the
- citizen's head. "And carrying contraband too, citizen? You are certainly not a smart
- one." A hand quickly flicked down to his utility belt, his gloved digits wrapping around
- the familiar polycarbonate grip of his stun baton. A flick of his thumb activated the
- powerful charge, and he swung the electrified stunstick square into the citizen's back.
- In frustration, 20848 held the charge against his back for longer than he usually would,
- sending the suspect's spasming body to the ground, unconscious. His focus quickly
- widened, and he caught a snippet of a phrase over the Civil Authority internal radio
- frequency: "...he's insane!"
- Joining the dots, piecing together the situations he had earlier encountered, 20848 began
- jogging to the 45th apartments, where he had last seen CCA.C18-JURY.01.11381. He stopped
- in his tracks as someone shouted over the radio, "The Nexus rooftop - Overlook tower!"
- Swiftly turning as the signal from 11381's radio halted (along with a crashing noise),
- 20848 sprinted through the Nexus underpass, his pants for breath not aided by the fact
- that 11381's vitals were incredibly high. Something was wrong. Slowing to stand under the
- Overlook watchtower, 20848 planted himself beside Tonto Killigan, the effectively off-
- duty KING squad leader. Killigan muttered something about the entire situation being his
- fault, but 20848 had more pressing matters: 11381 stood on the very edge of the
- watchtower, and every other active unit was screaming at him.
- CCA.C18-GHOST.04.20848 made no move. He remained silent for the best part of a minute,
- his mind clear, his concentration totally homed in on the situation. There was an
- Overwatch unit active, to protect the City Administrator. 20848 almost didn't hear the
- VICE squad leader's orders, requesting that 11381 be stopped; that he be saved.
- Disregarding the command, 20848 muttered something quietly into the radio channel. It was
- lost over the noise, but CCA.C18-GHOST.04.20102 appeared to have heard him. 20848 paused
- for another moment, not quite to reconsider what he was requesting. 20848 increased the
- volume of his microphone's input.
- "Amputate." ))
- facts Having earlier encountered a personal struggle between [CCA.C18-KING.SqL.32450] and
- [CCA.C18-JURY.01.11381], and having been ordered from the scene by 11381, I heard blatant
- discussion regarding 11381's situation - standing on the overlook tower, attempting to
- commit suicide. I moved to the street below the tower, and watched at 11381 threw his
- radio to the ground. Judging the unit rogue, I ordered his immediate amputation.
- Clarifying the scene to the present previous KING squad-leader, Citizen Killigan, Tonto,
- I ensured him that what had happened was unrelated to any issue the two had been involved
- with, and that 11381's death was the result of a personal psychological instability.
- result [CCA.C18-JURY.01.11381] deserviced, amputated from civic populace.
- :: log C [ITI-20848-FRQ]
- facts Upon order from the previous division commander, 17900, who had studied my
- background and taken note of my specialities, I was tasked with a routine maintenance and
- rehashing of the Civil Authority Internal Communication Channels, to bring them up to the
- standard of [CCA.CITY-SEVENTEEN]. As part of this order, I traveled to Seventeen on the
- authority of the CIND to inspect and take note of their particular advances over those in
- Eighteen (see [RZR-TPLog.567916a37]). On a matter of priority, I met with their internal
- head of communications, [CCA.C17-DvL.14071], who briefed me on advances communicated
- directly with [CCA.C17-CITADEL]. Carrying these technical specifications with me, I
- returned to [CCA.CITY-EIGHTEEN] a day later, as planned, and modified the network
- software to comply with new standards, as raised by [CCA.GLOBAL-COMMAND] and enforced by
- the now decomissioned [CCA.C18-DvL.17900].
- result [CCA.C18-FRQ] updated to current dynamic specifications, including network
- restabilisations and volatile frequency protocols.
- :: log D [ITQ-CIND-RM]
- facts With the promotions of myself (from [CCA.C18-GHOST.04.20848] to [CCA.C18-
- GHOST.02.20848]) and (newly) unit [CCA.C18-GHOST.01.20102], we were tasked by [CCA.C18-
- SeC.17919] and the former [CCA.C18-DvL.17900] with the management and oversight of the
- recruit program, which we gladly assumed under the heading of a CIND operation. Under
- this authority, we culled the ranks of those undergoing what is colloquially known as
- "hell week" during the recruit program - two recruits were made public examples of and
- amputated from the civic populace. Also under the banner of this operation, I conducted
- individual reviews of each active recruit during my periods of duty.
- result Every unit I interviewed and personally certified has been promoted at least to
- the Unit Second Class rank, if not above.
- Two less idiots to worry about.
- :: log E [ITJ-20848-SVL]
- facts More of an ongoing operation - for every period of seventy-eight standard hours I
- spend on-duty with the Civil Protection, I add an additional twenty-four standard hours
- of undercover work, usually split between monitoring the civic populace from their
- perspective, or monitoring junior units in the Civil Authority under false identity,
- temporarily cleared so I can step into a standard issue suit.
- result Ongoing operation, has aided the CCA in a number of major operations, and has
- benefited my own
- personal tasks.
- :: log F [ITU-20848-OTL]
- facts On a routine sweep of [CCA.C18-PcT.13], I encountered a biotic (specific class,
- [BIOTIC-862.VORTIGAUNT]). With the aid of a junior unit, [CCA.C18-UNION.04.54819] (now
- suspended from the Authority) I brought the biotic into custody, establishing a field
- which I had personally worked on to dampen surrounding electrical signals - the biotics'
- weapon of choice for long-range conflict. After a brief interrogation of the biotic, I
- dismissed 54819 for classified reasons (specifically, that I was officially deeming the
- operation under the jurisdiction of the CIND). Revealing to the biotic that I remained
- human underneath my suit, I engaged it in expositive conversation, and it revealed
- various facets of information to me. These include that there is an extra-terrestrial
- being, whose name is unknown, who appears to have the ultimate control over our current
- situation (( I.E. the GMan )). This being, according to the biotic (who named himself
- "Vortigaunt Brother Ariah Qre'Tal", in English) controls a powerful piece in the game the
- biotic saw in play - he named him Citizen Freeman, Gordon (I found no match on our
- records, with the exception of one unverified reference relating to before the Universal
- Union's settling on Earth, which I culled from the system as useless). This man,
- according to the biotic, was responsible for the Universal Union's presence on Earth in
- the first place, and yet the biotic warned me that this "One Free Man" was to be the
- ultimate destruction of the CCA. All of this was reported directly to [CCA.C18-
- DvL.17900], who assured me that our jurisdiction did not extend to covering the entire
- Civil Authority. Unbeknownst to 17900, who I had begun to suspect was unstable, I
- forwarded my report to Global Command.
- result None immediate, refer to log G.
- :: log G [ITU-20848-OUL]
- (( This log refers to my adventures in the outlands, around the first few days it was
- open. I sent you a PM back then with this report, which I don't have a copy of. But
- that's what it is, basically. ))
- :: log H [ITU-20848-OWL]
- facts Upon my return to [CCA.CITY-EIGHTEEN] from the unregistered camp in the Outlands, I
- took my fresh report, personally, to [CCA.C18-SeC.17919] and the former [CCA.C18-
- DvL.17900]. With immediate effect, the Sector Commander ordered my presence on the
- administrative side of the COTA raid of the Outlands camp - observing from an undetected
- transport craft above, I ensured that the COTA could destroy all semblance of resistance
- within the bounds of the co-ordinates I had laid out to the Sector Commander.
- result Resistance, as far as I had encountered it, was quelled in the Outlands.
- :: log H-A [ITU-20848-SHL]
- facts With the COTA having crushed resistance in that specific sector, the former
- [CCA.C18-DvL.17900] ordered a shelling assault on a wider range. Once again ordering my
- presence behind the intelligence side of this attack, I oversaw the remote shelling
- systems as they fired routine ordinance into that sector.
- result On a wider level, the population of the Outlands was replaced with easily quelled
- necrotics.
- :: log I [ITN-20848-SSM]
- facts With a shelling malfunction having swept [CCA.CITY-EIGHTEEN] with ordinance, the
- former [CCA.C18-DvL.17900] ordered a quick culling and civic restoration of the area, as
- well as the mass memory replacement of any survivors. 17900 gave me the order, given my
- logged talents, to track any possible weaknesses in the shelling system and to eradicate
- them. Running a preliminary scan, I quickly confirmed that there was a system error in a
- forward shelling outpost, specifically [CCA.C18-ShL.1042]. On the authority of Division
- Leader 17900, I travelled to outpost 1042. The units stationed there were basic Civil
- Protection Ground Teams, and had no advance knowledge of my arrival, nor any specific
- directives regarding the systems there, other than eliminating any resistance in the area
- (of course, the standing directive for any Ground Team). Quickly co-operating with them,
- I gained top-level local access to the system with their clearance. Over a period of
- days, I managed to find and repair the malfunction in the system's software, which
- appeared to have been the cause of a manual breach, most likely by erstwhile Authority
- personnel gone malignant. With this in mind, I planned to remain on-site for the next
- week. After the third day of consistent, constant local scans, my program detected an
- attempted breach in progress. Heading one of the Ground Teams stationed at the outpost, I
- attempted to physically circumvent the breach, having been able to directly track the
- location of the device which was being used to harass our system. As soon as we gained
- visual contact on the team, I gave the remote order to cancel all directives applied to
- the outpost, and powered down the shelling system. Within audible range, I heard the
- resistant anti-citizens exclaim that their attempt had failed (albeit in a coloured way,
- sir). At that point, I gave the isolation order, and my Ground Team, who had been
- flanking the attempted instigators, moved into action. I managed to secure the life of
- the anti-citizen who had been apparently at the helm, operating the directly offending
- device (an Old Earth laptop, the contents of which were scanned, duplicated, classified
- and then the original device destroyed). Leaving the anti-citizen in isolation in one of
- the outpost's holding cells for a period of twenty-four standard hours, I then proceeded
- with an interrogation of him. As you well know by now, sir, my interrogation technique is
- principally psychological and tends to crack all but the most willful and hardened of
- minds, of which this particular instigator was seemingly lacking. The information he
- provided for me, along with the points we captured from the mobile device, led me,
- undercover, to the hotpoint of their resistant sect. Over the period of two days, I
- managed to assure the nervous anti-citizens within the group that I had befriended them -
- so weakened by the loss of their technological co-ordinator (one Citizen McKenzie,
- Thomas). The exhausted and tense group were so glad of my aid that they allowed me to
- stand as night watchman on my fourth day of infiltration there. While they slept, I made
- duplicates of all of their files on Civil Authority standard storage drives. Once that
- mission was complete, I personally amputated anti-citizen Somerfield, Wesley - the only
- one of the group who had actively expressed doubts as to my presence there - and then
- transmitted the co-ordinates to the Ground Teams stationed at outpost 1042.
- result Citizens McKenzie, Thomas; Somerfield, Wesley; D'arcy, Karen; Lorcan, Melvin;
- McMahon, Charlie amputated from civic populace on authority of [CIND].
- [CCA.CITY-EIGHTEEN] long-range shelling armaments and ordinance updated, repaired and
- currently operating at capacity [100/100].
- :: log J [ITX-20848-KLS]
- The following citizens have been eliminated from the civic populace through my personal
- involvement in my case, or have been amputated by my hand: Citizens Makerow, Jack;
- Makerow, Daniel; Gigger, Timothy; Ivanovitch, Mikhail. Related to the former cases is the
- next log.
- :: log K [ITX-20848-ADM]
- facts Given Administrator Burkov, Vladimir's prior dedication to the Civil Authority, I
- found this case quite out-of-character for him. He appeared to take a personal interest
- in my interrogation and amputation of Citizen Gigger, Timothy, and planted false
- information in the case file and in the Civil Authority database to mislead me. Without
- the direct authority to amputate a member of City Administration, I issued a memory
- replacement on Burkov and reconditioned him, to re-focus his loyalty to the CCA.
- result Administrator Burkov, Vladimir reconditioned, memory replaced.
- :: log L [ITO-20848-DBD]
- facts I was summoned for a meeting with the former [CCA.C18-SqL.66617], in attendance at
- which was [CCA.C18-FtL.40488]. Quite abruptly, 66617 attempted to cash in my loyalty to
- the ESU division, and ordered both myself and 40488 to leave [CCA.CITY-EIGHTEEN]. 40488
- appeared to publicise this exit, and I followed as a prime CIND directive. Once in the
- Outlands, the pair had apparently been in league with the malignant known as "Snow," and
- were able to easily locate a new resistance hotpoint. The co-ordinates of this base have
- been included in this log.
- report Units 66617 and 40488 expelled from Civil Authority.
- :: log M [ITE-20848-ESU]
- facts With my promotion to the rank of Elite Shock Unit, I immediately took it upon
- myself to further a CIND directive which had been in place prior to my initial induction
- to the CIND - the observation and evaluation of what had been, at the time, Metropolitan
- Elite Police. From an inside position, I continued my undercover work (putting on hold my
- other undercover surveillance during this period), principally to further Operation
- Tyrant, as well as to ensure that the CIND had a foothold on every rank within the CCA,
- including the mostly maverick Elite Shock Units. No major issues have arisen within my
- jurisdiction, or indeed at all, regarding the ESU division.
- :: log N [ITE-20848-ES2]
- facts Notably, I have submitted a possible revision of the Elite Shock Unit division.
- This has led me to assume a Warrant Officer and second authority post, as far as command
- of the ESU division goes. Principally in this operation, which is currently underway, I
- intend to reshape the ESU division to meet the standards of the CIND. My motives in
- obtaining this Warrant Officer post have been solely to obtain more influence and power
- for the Intelligence Division, with the possible effects of improving the quality of the
- ESU division.
- :: log O [Operation Closed Fist]
- facts As part of my ongoing campaign to spread and increase the influence and power of
- the Authority, I have established a personal Operation, known as Closed Fist. This began
- with my overseeing of a mass extermination of a portion of the City Eighteen civic
- populace, and has continued since, enforcing major punishments for minor infractions,
- spreading CCA propaganda and abruptly revoking the citizenship of the occasional citizen
- for first degree civil noncompliance.
- result The world is a better place, sir. Ongoing.
- end ::
- logout ||::>
- (( OK, there you go. Sore wrists. There's also all the other role-plays I've been
- involved in, which I really wouldn't count as operations, but which you'd know about in-
- character anyway, considering you have access to my personal files, and I keep records of
- CCA-related things I do in there. Yay CIND! ))
