Report No: GT/GE-170602-041250206
Location: Reno and Carson City, NV
Agents:
Summary: Agents Drummond, McCarter, Parker, and Booth moved to Reno on orders to locate the source of a phenomenon linked to vanishings and murders. After tracing an email address to the Peppermill Apartments, the Agents planned to apprehend one Anthony Cooper, a suspected key figure in the unfolding pattern. Events included an armed confrontation at Cooper’s apartment and the unexplained disappearance of Agents Booth and McCarter, followed by their reappearance hours later under unusual circumstances. Cooper was successfully taken into custody.
Operation Report:
- The Agents convened in Reno to investigate leads suggesting that Cooper was operating out of an apartment complex at 461 California Avenue.
- Intelligence from local contacts and official channels confirmed Cooper’s presence in Unit 6A.
- Parker and Drummond approached the property manager, who directed them to 6A. Concurrently, Booth and McCarter remained prepared with vehicle support and overwatch.
- Upon contact at Cooper’s door, Parker and Drummond identified themselves in a law enforcement capacity, intending to subdue Cooper peacefully.
- A second hostile individual emerged unexpectedly with a shotgun and opened fire, wounding Drummond. A subsequent assailant armed with an automatic weapon also threatened the Agents from another angle.
- Despite sustaining injuries, Drummond and Parker neutralized the immediate threats. Cooper offered no direct resistance and was placed under restraint.
- During the confrontation, Booth and McCarter vanished from the scene. Their location was unknown until the following day.
- Parker and Drummond extracted Cooper and fled the site as local law enforcement began to converge on the incident.
- Approximately half a day later, Booth and McCarter reappeared near the same apartment location. Both demonstrated confusion regarding the intervening hours. Minor physical traces (web-like residue) were noted on their clothing.
- McCarter exhibited extreme fatigue, while Booth retained most of his faculties. Both Agents reported a distorted environment that could not be reconciled with standard operational parameters.
- By the close of these events, Cooper was in custody and the entire cell regrouped for debriefing.
Analysis and Recommendations:
- The sudden disappearance and reappearance of Agents Booth and McCarter correlates to prior anomalies linked to the so-called pattern. Their descriptions of an otherworldly, web-choked space suggest an emergent threat analogous to prior documented dimensional incidents.
- Cooper’s seeming cooperation raises concerns that he may possess deeper knowledge of these dimensional shifts. Any unguarded conversation with him may pose further risk of cognitive contamination.
- The armed response at the apartment indicates that other interested parties are monitoring Cooper or protecting his activities. Additional teams may need to trace these new hostiles, as their motivation and affiliation remain unknown.
- Agents McCarter and Booth may benefit from psychological evaluation due to the traumatic effects of their disappearance. Brief memory lapses and confusion imply possible exposure to harmful anomalous influences.
- A-Cell should consider protocols for isolating Cooper in a secure location to study his knowledge of the pattern while minimizing the risk of further disappearances.
- Special containment measures may be warranted if Cooper’s materials or personal interactions provoke additional anomalous incidents.
