Summary:
Agents McCarter, Drummond, Monroe, and Cortez pursued the fugitive Thomas Perez into the Everglades, following a series of cryptic clues.

Operation Report:
-
Preparation and Departure:
- The agents deciphered a coded message left by Thomas Perez, identifying specific landmarks that led them west along Interstate 75 into the Everglades.
- They rented a Nissan Pathfinder and equipped themselves with standard gear, including shotguns and headlamps.
- Departed from Miami at approximately 9:00 PM on September 21, 2016.
-
Entry into the Everglades:
- Parked on the shoulder of I-75 after locating a cut fence matching the final landmark from Perez’s message.
- Observed the constellation Aquarius aligning with a nearby tree, confirming the meeting location detailed in the code.
- Proceeded on foot through a faint trail into the swamp, noting the challenging terrain and wildlife sounds, including distant alligator growls.
-
Approach to Campfire:
- After approximately 1.5 kilometers, agents observed the glow of a campfire and heard wordless keening from a group ahead.
- Upon stealthy approach, identified six young men and women in various states of dress, appearing disheveled and malnourished, gathered around the fire.
- Noted that the group was holding and swaying with Thomas Perez at the center.
-
Encounter with Thomas Perez:
- Perez separated from the group and approached the agents directly.
- Communication occurred through American Sign Language; Agent Drummond engaged in conversation with Perez.
- Key messages from Perez included:
- Recognition of the agents as servants of “her” and reference to “her teeth.”
- Mention that “He is coming,” emphasizing “He.”
- Identification of “He” as “The Speaker.”
- Expressed necessity to “feed her” and indicated willingness to be sacrificed.
- Perez displayed visible impatience and distress during communication.
-
Termination of Perez:
- Without prior coordination, Agent Cortez fired upon Perez, resulting in his immediate death.
- Perez’s body was swiftly dragged into the water by an alligator.
-
Emergence of Anomalous Entities:
- Following Perez’s death, agents heard multiple alligator growls increasing in intensity.
- The six individuals from the campfire willingly entered the water and were attacked by alligators.
- Four humanoid-alligator hybrid creatures emerged from the water, displaying:
- Combined human and alligator features with asymmetrical limbs.
- Additional limbs and distorted body structures.
- Aggressive behavior directed towards the agents.
-
Engagement with Entities:
- Agents McCarter, Monroe, and Cortez engaged the creatures with shotguns.
- Agent Drummond initiated a tactical retreat towards the direction of the vehicle.
- Agents successfully neutralized one creature after sustained gunfire.
- Remaining creatures advanced rapidly towards the agents.
-
Casualties:
- Agent Monroe was fatally attacked by one creature, sustaining severe injuries resulting in immediate death.
- Agent Cortez attempted to flee but was overtaken by two creatures.
- Despite resistance and inflicting damage on the entities, Agent Cortez was ultimately dragged underwater and presumed deceased.
- Agent McCarter witnessed both events and commenced retreat.
-
Evacuation:
- Agents McCarter and Drummond independently navigated through the swamp back to Interstate 75.
- Both agents experienced disorientation but successfully reached the highway by using available technology (headlamps and smartphone compasses).
- Reconvened and determined that Agent Monroe possessed the keys to the rental vehicle, which was inaccessible.
- Contacted Assistant U.S. Attorney Antonia Pizzarelli to report the situation.
-
Communication with Handler:
- Provided a debrief to Pizzarelli, confirming:
- Termination of Thomas Perez.
- Deaths of Agents Monroe and Cortez.
- Encounter with anomalous creatures.
- Assessment that the entities posed no immediate threat to populated areas due to their remote location.
- Pizzarelli acknowledged the report and indicated plans to dispatch a specialized team to address the remaining threats.
- Provided a debrief to Pizzarelli, confirming:
-
Return to Washington, D.C.:
- Agents arranged alternate transportation back to Miami and secured a new rental vehicle.
- Departed for Washington, D.C., on September 22, 2016.
- During transit, agents discussed potential interpretations of Perez’s statements and the significance of “The Speaker” and “her.”
Analysis and Recommendations:
-
Psychological Assessment:
- Agents McCarter and Drummond displayed resilience in the face of extreme duress.
- Witnessing the deaths of fellow agents may have long-term psychological effects; recommend mandatory counseling and evaluation.
- Agent McCarter’s reliance on medication (sleep aids) noted; monitoring advised.
-
Operational Security:
- Loss of life underscores the need for reinforced protocols when engaging with unknown entities.
- Agents should be equipped with enhanced weaponry when facing potential anomalous threats.
- Recommend review of engagement strategies and emergency extraction procedures in remote environments.
-
Anomalous Threat Containment:
- The emergence of hybrid creatures suggests ongoing anomalous activities linked to previous operations involving the Skoptsi cult and Cornucopia House.
- The reference to “The Speaker” and the urgency to “feed her” may indicate an impending summoning or manifestation event.
- Immediate investigation into similar occurrences is critical to prevent escalation.
-
Intelligence Correlation:
- The feminine deity referenced as “her” aligns with previous encounters involving maternal or feminine entities (e.g., reports related to “Magna Mater” worship).
- The masculine figure “The Speaker” could signify a new or resurgent threat requiring identification.
- Cross-reference with Operation OBSIDIAN and Project PLUTONIUM for potential links to cult activities and entity manifestations.
-
Action Items:
- Mobilize a containment team to neutralize remaining entities in the Everglades.
- Conduct a thorough debriefing of surviving agents to extract actionable intelligence.
- Increase surveillance on known associates of Thomas Perez and any related cult activities.
- Initiate a deep-dive analysis into the symbolism and language used by Perez for possible predictive indicators.
-
Conclusion:
- The operation resulted in the elimination of Thomas Perez but highlighted significant risks associated with engagements involving the unnatural.
- The deaths of Agents Monroe and Cortez are a substantial loss; however, the information obtained may prove crucial in thwarting future threats.
- Priority should be given to understanding the implications of “The Speaker” and preventing any forthcoming events associated with this figure.
