TOP SECRET CLEARANCE X-RAY SIERRA 2-15-007-DG. MAJ. _ _ 177TH ENCLAVE ARMORED DIV. CIVIL AFFAIRS/COUNTER INTELLIGENCE/_.
D.C. Wasteland update; Threat Levels Minimal, feral ghouls/lightly armored and poorly equipped raiding mercs, whom in my opinion do not have the fortitude or the training necessary to conduct if anything, a small scale raiding band. Nor do they posses the required supply caches required to defend or continue a constant attack. They are required to only fight against the attrition of ever depleting resources of the area. Moral must be pitiful. Most are bush-league squatters, posing no threat, and seem to be looking for, work. EXTERMINATE THESE INTERLOPERS. Brotherhood seems to be acquiring better equipment, requesting putting a limit of energy weapon ammo. They do enough damage with their hoards of small arms. Rockets and Vulcan cannons are enough to deal with; we don't need a full scale light show; or call up the officer in charge at AFB, if you can contact him.
Thermals show large concentrations in these areas: Grid ref E-4, F-3, C-3. See also civilian installations on pg. 5 for further information.
Large portions of collapsed tunnels preventing passage. Most of the old infrastructure is heavily damaged. I have managed a secure route, even though the maps given to me were not updated and cost me valuable time correcting the numerous mistakes. However it does blockade many in the ruins to perish, and therefore reinforcing ground patrols is a useless endeavor. Requesting for optional air assault teams be put on standby immediately for this reason.
Intercepted transmissions of wastelanders trying to form any sort of regulated militia or resistance. Am looking into the matter of how they will be procuring supplies; for ambush sites. However, it may be best to let them slip by as the old adage goes, "A enemy of my enemy, is also my ally", in so many forms. Alert sweeper crews not to kill too many, we don't want to look like weapon toting-brigands like those other tin-cans, we need as much support out here as we can. They are on some idealistic mission, we must surpass their guile to win this war!
Not many, if any at all are skilled in using any sort of technology, this is clearly apparent. There is a lab at "Rivet City", however I don't know if it is even up to operational standards. If there is technology, the 'Exiles' are behind it, and we can follow the trail. Speaking of which, requested files on the Mid-West expedition and am still waiting for the info. There is talk of a working steel mill in Pittsburg, led by members of the expedition. Get you resources together, we need to know what is going on up there.
Radio Freq's are all but silent, mostly Brotherhood. Their attempt at establishing order. By the way, no reports of them securing any nuclear devices, and I'd advise a trigger detonation by remote, if they do acquire any. However they may do it themselves, as I doubt they have the skill or knowledge to disarm anything more than a tangled shoelace. On a side note, may want to look into The SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTIONS, seems to be lots of activity lately. There is a small landing to the SE; I have it watched. I suspect it might be a smuggling route.
A few squads have failed to report, as follows: Epsilon, and Omicron. Could be comm failure due to radioactivity. I doubt any number of forces could take on a Sigma squad with such antiquated projectile weapons. However, similar reports consistent with our Chicago network have seen uses of DU ammo, have, unfortunately turned up; whether this is true or not, I cannot yet determine. Must be from Super mutant infestation of old military bases. Not my department, look into it. It is best not to think of the worst possibilities of them suddenly having a change of heart in the middle of this operation, and abandoning this endeavor. If so, I will personally see to it, but for now it is below my station to do so. Find them.
How are things in the West going? I hear there are more defectors than ever. A shame. I wrote off the files that came down to me, hope they helped; however another full scale venture at this time into Nevada is folly. Who ever is preparing to do so, is going to do so for financial reasons, perhaps political. Big MT. did seem to be interesting, though. Contact me if you need people to go out there, I would be more than willing to offer what I can: I have Col. Autumn breathing down my neck about the bio-weapons dept. and how we need replacements for the aging Robobrains and Mr. Gusty units. Even the MK III's seem to be having failures; are you having problems?
I've managed to secure a new heavy capacitor for my Tri-Beam laser rifle. The damp conditions are hell on the wiring and optics and I am still repairing the prototype Gauss rifle, Serial N. 0006. The extra coils have improved power by nearly 7%, but the systems have trouble with overload.
Has been quiet, and I am planning radio silence. This is just a formal report; will have more when I return. I expect you'll also have those documents as well.
