Operation Log

• FBI investigation lead by special agent Theodore Weeden
• NSA agent Harold Maison had disappeared on a mission while under cover as an INS agent
  • His rental car had been found near a highway at a desolate location
• We flew in and rented an off-road vehicle
• The local sheriff could only add that the agent had gone missing in night time
• The car showed damage from a collision in the front
• At the accident site we found the brake tracks
  • the location was surrounded by fields and had excellent visibility
  • No object of collision was found
  • The estimated speed was 60 mi/h, within the speed limit
  • The drive had not tried to evade
  • At the curb were footprints, leading to the fields
  • In the filed there were a few 9 mm casings
  • The tracks ended like the person who left them had flown away
• At lunch we ran into Mulligan
  • He was investigating animal disappearances and mutilation
  • Also crop circles
  • He thinks that the chupacabra is behind them
• While waiting for a helicopter with thermal camera we decided to investigate Mulligan's claims
• Interviewing local farmers confirmed Mulligan's information
  • There were plenty of crop circles
• In the nighttime we went out with binoculars to look for the cause of the crops circles
  • At midnight we used night vision binoculars to spot some people moving in the fields
  • We moved after them, but they saw us and tried to escape
  • They ignored commands to stop and our authority
  • Pursuing them we couldn't catch them, but were able to follow their tracks
• After about an hour we got the feeling we were being shadowed
• When we reached a narrow trail between two rock formations we decide to ambush our shadow
  • Mulligan continued while Robert and Weeden stayed waiting on both sides of the trail
• Then something unexpected happened
  • There was a noise like a tornado and something blew past the trail too fast to see
  • Robert and Weeden waited for a while before going after Mulligan
  • He was found unconscious, with a puncture wound on his neck and suffering from loss of blood
  • After first aid he was dragged to the car
• On the route back we were approached by an an unarmed man
  • We ordered it to stop while pointing our guns toward it
  • It did not react, but walked until it was around 20 meters away
  • Then it stopped and opened it's mouth, revealing sharp teeth and a scream
  • It then charged towards us
  • We shot it until it fell down and was not moving
  • We carefully closed in and checked that it was dead
  • It looked like a malnourished Mexican migrant worker
    • It had sharp teeth which had pulled back into the gums
    • It looked pale and anemic
• As Mulligan was able to walk, we were able to drag it back to the car
• We headed to the local health center
  • Mulligan was taken in for a treatment
  • The body of the migrant worker did not reveal anything new
• In the meanwhile agent Weeden had reported the incident to the FBI
• We retired to our motel for the rest of the night
• Checking the ID of the migrant worker we found that one had disappeared from a nearby farm
  • We also found that other workers were missing
  • A new crop circle had been formed during last night
• Later we found an abandoned truck
  • It should have reached it's destination several days ago
  • The driver was missing
• The farms were raided with INS, but nothing important to the case was found
• The helicopter arrived and we did sweeps for the missing with it's thermal camera
• Next day Mulligan had found a dead vagrant lying next to a road
  • He said that he had met him the previous day when he was still fine
• There were plenty of tracks nearby and we asked for support from the local law enforcement
  • We tracked them with blood hounds and a large search party
  • After a long search nothing was found
• When we returned to the town we heard that the national guard was there
  • Their commanding officer did not reveal on whose orders they had arrived
  • They were wondering why we hadn't been told about their presence
• Agent Weeden was ordered off the field and the command of the operation was transferred to agent Robert
  • He decide to use the national guard and their Black Hawk helicopters in the hunt before the press heard about it
  • The group was found wandering at hills near the place where Mulligan had been injured
  • When the national guard were ordered in with their helicopters, they killed everyone in the group
  • The dead included the missing NSA agent Maison along with the truck driver
    • All had the same symptoms as the migrant worker
• On the pretext of a contagion, Robert got USAMRIID to transport the bodies to their facility
• Returning to the town, Mulligan had an odd tale to tell
  • He claimed to have fought some kind of a demon near one of the crop circles while Robert was leading the national guard attack
  • As proof he showed a video of him performing a confusing ritual in the field surrounded by smoke
  • The national guard had found him in the middle of a crop circle, unconscious
  • Robert did not find any proof on the location

Result of operation:

Causes for success/failure:

Lessons learned:

Improvements (processes, intelligence, resources):

Leads and loose ends:

• The affected bodies and samples stored at the USAMRIID
• Cause of the "infection" unknown
  • Possibly an alien test on humans
  • Maybe Mulligan's "demon" was one of the aliens or one of their devices
• What was the national guard unit?
  • They were acting very professionally and with discipline
