△▼△TOP SECRET//SI//DGO△▼△
Report No: GT/GE-170601-039250123
Location: Reno and Carson City, NV
Agents:
Summary: The Agents continued efforts to contain sensitive data at “Persistent Vigil,” a private defense contractor suspected of hosting unnatural contagion through its drone surveillance project. Agent Drummond secured the cooperation of former contractor Kim Boyer. Soon after, Agents Booth and Drummond enacted a nighttime infiltration at the contractor’s offices to plant a destructive software implant. Agents Parker and McCarter maintained lookout. The operation concluded with partial success but introduced new complications when security was alerted. Boyer remained under Agency supervision, and the situation regarding Agent McCarter’s unexplained sensory ability remains unresolved.
Operation Report:
-
Debrief with Boyer
- Agent Drummond met privately with Boyer in a secure hotel suite.
- Boyer displayed anxiety over alleged inappropriate behavior by Agent McCarter; she recounted a disturbing incident in which he smelled her hair.
- Boyer subsequently agreed to the proposition of leaving her former life to work under Agency auspices.
-
Unexpected Ability Disclosure
- Agent McCarter’s admission of an apparent sensory perception of unnatural elements caused notable tension.
- Handler (Pitzerelli) demanded McCarter disclose more details regarding this ability.
- No clear explanation emerged; all members were instructed to monitor McCarter closely for further abnormal behavior.
-
Infiltration Planning
- Boyer’s credentials were deemed compromised. Agents considered alternative methods.
- Two sets of credentials (one belonging to Boyer, another to her colleague “Brigid”) were assembled into a single clandestine access attempt.
- Agents Drummond and Booth volunteered for the infiltration. Agents Parker and McCarter would remain in a vehicle to provide lookout and immediate support.
-
Nighttime Entry Attempt
- Target: Persistent Vigil’s secure facility near Reno, NV, approached after normal operating hours.
- Upon arrival, electronic security measures proved difficult to bypass, resulting in protracted entry attempts at multiple door control points.
- A security patrol responded, forcing the Agents to subdue an on-site guard and secure him out of sight.
-
Facility Breach
- Physical forced entry was employed after electronic measures failed.
- Multiple interior doors were compromised to gain access to a working terminal.
- The prepared software implant was introduced via a local machine with network access, intended to eradicate targeted data.
-
Extraction
- Alarm indications occurred during the forced intrusion.
- Agents successfully withdrew before a secondary security team or local law enforcement arrived on-site.
- The incapacitated guard was left restrained and uninjured. The security patrol vehicle was disabled and moved to avoid immediate pursuit.
-
Post-Operation Status
- Agents regrouped in Carson City with no immediate pursuit noted.
- Boyer remained under Agency custody for further debrief and assignment.
- Discussion of next steps in relation to continuing investigations and unidentified persons (Anthony Cooper and others) was postponed until additional intelligence could be gathered.
Analysis and Recommendations:
- Increased Security Exposure: The forced entry and subduing of a security guard risk drawing local law enforcement attention. Further cover measures may be needed to deflect or bury an official investigation.
- Potential Compromise of Agent McCarter: His behavior suggests a persistent, possibly escalating mental strain tied to unnatural awareness. Psychological assessment is advised to determine if his condition can be harnessed safely or if it remains an operational liability.
- Data Retrieval Concerns: While the operation sought to destroy compromising records, there remains a possibility that partial copies or backups exist. Persistent Vigil’s leadership may escalate their own inquiries, leading to deeper scrutiny of Delta Green’s involvement. Additional reconnaissance is suggested to confirm the completeness of the data wipe.
- Implications for Future Cell Integration: Boyer’s knowledge of advanced systems and possible direct exposure to unnatural phenomena may prove valuable on future assignments. However, her reliability under stressful conditions remains to be proven.
- Connection to Other Incidents: The infiltration failures and the uncertain role of possible “missing” employees (e.g., Anthony Cooper) point to a broader network of compromised individuals. Similar infiltration and exfiltration patterns have been noted in prior unnatural-related corporate enclaves. Further cross-reference with ongoing Program operations is recommended.
