Report No: GT/GB-171027-052250522
Location: Greeley, CO
Agents:
Summary
MASTICATE infiltrated the Valley Dirtlands site during a window when Security Chief John Bellamy was the sole employee on premises. Bellamy engaged first; lethal return fire neutralized him. Facility sweep located a high-value cash cache and signs of anomalous plant activity. Using Bellamy’s phone, Agents lured owner Dakota Knight back to the site; Epsilon readying interdiction. Operation paused awaiting Knight’s arrival.
Operation Report
-
Pre-mission coordination (Parkside Plaza, 26 Oct):
- MASTICATE briefed DEA SRT “Epsilon”; established Epsilon QRF position south of target.
- Objective set: capture Bellamy alive, compel Knight to respond, then full tactical assault.
-
Approach (0330 hrs):
- Agents advanced from employee-lot blind-spots, accessed facility via employee entrance using cloned Level-3 badge (upgraded by Isha).
- No security personnel sighted externally; interior lighting minimal.
-
Contact with Bellamy (0336 hrs):
- Bellamy observed monitors inside Executive Hall, detected intruders, fired first shot from office.
- Parker returned fire with shotgun; Bellamy killed instantly.
- Bellamy’s radio idle; no outbound calls prior to death.
-
Executive sweep (0338–0345 hrs):
- Bellamy office: active multi-monitor CCTV feed covering entire site.
- Knight office vacant; standard paperwork only.
- No additional personnel encountered.
-
Grow-house traversal (0345–0350 hrs):
- Main cultivation bay entered; plants exhibited synchronized shuddering in proximity to Agents.
- Booth discharged shotgun into nearest cluster; immediate plant stillness followed.
- Drummond detected heavy impact sound from direction of locked research grow rooms (A-C). No visual contact.
-
Vault breach (0352 hrs):
- Level-3 badge opened armored vault door. Inside: chain-link cage containing seventeen shrink-wrapped cash bricks (~USD 17 million).
- Shelf held mason jar of clear liquid; unknown object visible at bottom, jar double-sealed (metal lid plus plastic wrap).
- Drummond opened one brick, confirmed currency; several 10 k bundles pocketed by Agents.
-
Lure of Knight (0400 hrs):
- Bellamy’s fingerprint unlocked phone.
- Agent text sent to Knight: “Frantic banging from Grow Rm C—sounds bad, worried.”
- Knight reply: “Bring everyone. Alamo 50. On my way ASAP.”
- Epsilon notified; QRF repositioning to intercept inbound Knight.
-
Status at pause (0430 hrs):
- Facility otherwise unsecured; research grow rooms unopened.
- Cash and unknown liquid untouched beyond sampling noted.
- Knight en route; ETA unknown (likely <30 min).
- Local law enforcement not yet alerted.
Analysis and Recommendations
-
Anomalous Flora: Coordinated movement suggests sentience or neuro-reactivity. Risk of physical attack or toxin release. Full CBRN protocols mandatory before Grow Rooms A-C are opened. Recommend incendiary sterilization after sample retrieval.
-
Clear Liquid Sample: Unidentified object immersed; probable concentrated extract or biological seed stock. Secure for BIO-8 transport; treat as SCP-level hazard until lab analysis.
-
Bellamy Termination: Removes internal controller; also eliminates primary CCTV operator. Negative: loss of live intelligence source. Acceptable given immediate threat response.
-
Cash Cache: Indicates large-scale, off-ledger revenue. Seizure funds may finance broader vector. Suggest Program-controlled laundering; trace serials for distribution map.
-
Agent Conduct:
- McCarter displays heightened aggression, psychotropic fixation on plant odors; monitor for dependence/behavioral drift.
- Drummond, Booth, Parker illegally appropriated cash; integrity risk. A psychological review and admonition recommended after op.
- All MASTICATE members unprotected during flora exposure; schedule bloodwork and psych evals for possible memetic or biochemical influence.
-
Dakota Knight Intercept: Knight’s obsessive facility attachment exploitable. Priority objectives on arrival: incapacitate, interrogate re: source cultivar, then terminate. Use Epsilon suppressed rifles to avoid alerting LE until containment complete.
-
Containment Plan:
- Lockdown perimeter before Knight arrival.
- Engage Knight within parking approach kill-box; avoid interior firefight near unknown flora.
- After neutralization, coordinate controlled burn of entire grow operation; stage DEA “contaminated pesticide” cover story.
- Confiscate remaining cash and lab samples under federal forfeiture; classify evidence “GALLOWS-VIOLET.”
-
Wider Implications: Similar “quiet children”-style conditioning via cannabis derivative plausible. Cross-reference Operation SUNDIAL (1999) and ongoing FARMHOUSE seizures in Humboldt County for pattern. Consider covert genome screening of national cannabis supply chain.
