Sector R saved us all that day, up on the moon base. We were on our knees at the mercy of the enemy, the Kids Next Door looked pretty much done in. And then it all just...stopped. They came down, hurt and different. Something about their eyes that said to everyone who'd seen what they did: "We know we're not heroes."

Incident Report

Presiding Operative: Numbuh 80 of Sector L (Leader and Primary Communications Coordinator)

Overview: On October 8th 2004 from 10:13 AM to 10:50 AM a global assault on all KND, Teenager, and Adult resources and personnel was launched by previously defunct extremist group Young Operatives United against Tyranny and Hate (Y.O.U.T.H). At 10:13, utilizing illegal contraband and an experimental almalgam of 2x4 technology and Atlantean ingenuity a hazardous cloud of a psychedelic candy was released into the atmosphere bringing nearly all known civilization to a stand still. At 10:20 several operatives on every rung of the Kids Next Door chain, as well as several previous operatives known to have been decommissioned, revealed themselves as deep cover Y.O.U.T.H agents and immediately began to incapacitate several of their former allies. From 10:20 AM to 10:33 AM all treehouse to treehouse communication lines had been severed and the KND brought to it's knees. From 10:33 AM to 10:45 AM the Y.O.U.T.H coup attempt began to fall apart [Details in prime report] growing increasingly panicked. In this confusion several teams managed to overpower their captors and take back their treehouses. From 10:45 AM to 10:50 AM the assault stopped and most of Y.O.U.T.H surrendered peacefully. A majority of the agents were quickly detained and placed in on-site cells though some still remain at large. A day after the Y.O.U.T.H incident information came to light regarding the recently active Sector R -based in Rhode Island- and the role they had played in recent events: their presence in the Moonbase at the time of the assault and their previous encounters with the Y.O.U.T.H leader, Duncan Levy. The following is a retelling of Sector R's experiences roughly transcribed from their own remembrance of certain events intermixed with clarification provided by the Presiding Operative where needed. Our goal is a simple one: to answer three questions.

What was Y.O.U.T.H attempting to accomplish?

How and when did you become involved?

What are the whereabouts of Duncan Levy?*

*That last one? Ignore it. Pay it no mind and give it no quarters. We know exactly where Duncan Levy is. The real third question, the one that had driven command to order an aggressive investigation into Sector R's activities? "Why the fuck shouldn't we decommission each and every one of them?".
