Chapter 5
Lightning's Trail
Full Report of operation: Lightning's Trail
GOI involved: Camp Half-blood (part of the Greco-Roman pantheon), Olympian Council (part of the Greco-Roman mythology), Lotus Hotel and Casino (part of the Greco-Roman pantheon), DOA recording studios (part of the Greco-Roman pantheon).
Description: On 12-21-2004, a demigod known as Luke [NAME REDACTED BY THE FOUNDATION'S ETHICS COMMITEE] managed to stole from Zeus his personal weapon – Master Bolt. Other reports suggested that the Helm of Darkness – Hades's godly symbol of power – was stolen by him as well. It is unknown how said demigod was able to perform it, but the investigation performed by the Foundation found a very possible connection between the theft of Master Bolt and the Greek's great prophecy.
[THIS PART OF THE REPORT WAS FULLY REDACTED BY THE ORDER OF O5 COMMAND]
The consequences of Master Bolt not returning to the Greco-Roman hands can be dire. In the best-case scenario: a CK-class "Reconstruction Scenario" is possible. An ADK-Class "Complete Anomalous Destabilization" and an SK-Class "Dominance Shift Scenario" are likely possible as well.
To prevent the world from learning about the possible existence of the Greco-Roman pantheon, and to avoid the possible contact of the Greco-Roman world with any other GOI and/or anomaly, a special Mobile Task Force Alpha-11, designated as "Wolf Brigade" to observe a demigod known as Perseus [NAME REDACTED BY THE FOUNDATION'S ETHICS COMMITTEE], who would soon be chosen by the Oracle on a quest of finding Master Bolt.

Report of phase 1 of Operation Lightning's Trail.
CODENAME: Babysitter.
Description: After an initial observation of the prophecy object by the undercover field agents, an MTF Alpha-11, codename Wolf Brigade was sent to observe the POI on his last days at Yancy academy and [REDACTED].
During the previous observation, undercover agents send the report of possible other POIs in the area. All POIs and HVTs are listed below.
Perseus [NAME REDACTED BY THE FOUNDATION'S ETHICS COMMITTEE] – demigod, son of Sally [NAME REDACTED BY THE FOUNDATION'S ETHICS COMMITTEE] and Poseidon, a Greco-Roman god. A most likely candidate for the main character of the Great Prophecy, and soon-to-be tasked with finding and bringing back Master Bolt and Helm of Darkness.
Grover Underwood – Identified Satyr from the Camp Half-Blood GOI. Reports suggest that he is very poorly prepared for the undercover work and that he almost revealed the existence of the anomalous world to the public at least a few times. A subject of possible termination if necessary.
Chiron (undercover name: Mr. Brunner) – Identified anomalous creature, mostly known as Centaur, one of the directors in the Camp Half-Blood. Subject for possible interrogation if necessary and possible.
Alecto (undercover name: Mrs. Dodds) - Identified anomalous creature, mostly known as a Fury, one of Hades's servants. Field agents should avoid her at all costs, due to a high risk of partial exposure of the Greco-Roman pantheon to the larger anomalous world. Subject for a possible containment in the future if possible.
Elizabeth Kerr – Identified demigod, a daughter of Athena. Field agents confirmed her association with GOI known as "Camp Half-Blood". She was sent by Chiron to replace Alecto as a teacher in Yancy Academy. As of now, she is under Foundation's full surveillance.
The Moirai – (Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos) Believed by the Greco-Roman pantheon to be responsible (or at least capable of) manipulating the threads of fate. According to the Foundation files, the Moirai are very dangerous reality benders, capable of manipulating many lives. Subjects for containment in the future (PRIORITY LEVEL: HIGH)
Asterion – Also known as the Minotaur, one of the monsters from the Greco-Roman mythology. Subject for a possible containment in the future if possible.
All field agents and members of the mobile task force Alpha-11 should, by all means, remain in the shadow. Phase 1 is to be considered a deep-undercover operation. Any deviation from the foreseen protocols will result in immediate termination.

Incident 1 report.
On [Redacted]-2005, during the students' school trip, a possible leak of information about the anomalous world was observed. All of the observed POIs became very active and – according to both undercover agents and monitoring MTF squad – very close to accidentally exposing themselves to the public.
Copy of the action report of MTF Alpha-11 Wolf Brigade's leader, designated as "Wolf-Leader" listed below:
[PART OF THE REPORT REDACTED BY THE ORDER OF A MEMBER OF O5 COUNCIL]
As of now, the subject "Perseus [NAME REDACTED BY THE FOUNDATION'S ETHICS COMMITTEE] might pose a danger to the security of the cover for both the Greco-Roman pantheon and to the uncompromised by any anomalous elements society.
As of now, it was confirmed that the subject subconsciously used his powers related to the Greco-Roman GOIs, in the presence of a larger group of students. As of now, the only victim to his powers is a young student of the same school [NAME REDACTED BY THE FOUNDATION'S ETHICS COMMITTEE], yet, it should be mentioned, that during the incident she was unharmed.
Just a few minutes later two of the POIs became present near the subject as well. POIs were identified as Alecto and Chiron. While Chiron decided to remain undercover, Alecto fully exposed herself to the boy, but not before performing a sloppy attempt of interrogation about the – most likely – missing Master Bolt and Helmet of Darkness.
While under the orders of not exposing POIs to the work of the Foundation, the MTF squad was fully prepared to eliminate both Alecto and Chiron if necessary. Yet the action – in the light of the future developments deemed completely unnecessary.
Chiron reacted by throwing the subject one of the widely known Greco-Roman artifacts, identified as "Anaklusmos". It is unknown how this artifact found its way back to the Greco-Roman POI such as Chiron. An investigation is deemed necessary.
Against all odds, subject "Perseus" was able to send Alecto back to Tartarus. Sadly, the MTF team and the undercover agents could not catch any of the POIs, due to the high risk of exposure and compromisation of the Foundation.
The power vacuum created by vanishing the Alecto was quickly sealed by the appearance of another POI associated with the "Camp Half-Blood" GOI –
[ALL PERSONAL DETAILS AND DATA WAS REDACTED BY THE FOUNDATION'S ETHICS COMMITTEE]
Unsurprisingly, the Camp Half-Blood GOI prepared their own undercover agent to act as a substitute teacher for a necessary time being while using mist to fully cover their operation.
The Memetic element "Mist" was able to fully modified the memories of students present during the incident, altering memories both about the incident with one of the students and with the sudden change of the teacher stuff.
Should any leaks of memory appear within any of the exposed students, the Foundation is more than prepared to quickly cover and repair the memory alteration.

ALECTO: Did you really think you would get away with it?
PERSEUS: I'll- I'll try harder Ma'am…
ALECTO: We are not fools [PERSONAL INFORMATION REDACTED BY THE FOUNDATION'S ETHICS COMMITTEE], it was only a matter of time before we found you out. Confess and you will suffer less pain.
Subject "Perseus" is visibly confused and under a high level of stress.
ALECTO: Well?

It is yet to be determined as to why elements of the Greco-Roman pantheon believe that subject "Perseus [PERSONAL INFORMATION REDACTED BY THE FOUNDATION'S ETHICS COMMITTEE]" has stolen both Master Bolt and Helmet of Darkness. The Foundation has already found a lead connecting the real thief (POI identified as "Luke Castelan"), a possible traitor within the Greco-Roman pantheon (Ares), and [PART OF THE DOCUMENT REDACTED BY THE ORDER OF O5 COUNCIL]

Incident 2 report.
On [REDACTED]-2005 incident that nearly exposed a large part of the Greco-Roman mythology took place. Both POIs from the Camp Half-Blood GOI (Chiron and Grover Underwood) did not take all the necessary safety steps in order to hide their true identity. Both of them were eavesdropped on by another POI (Perseus [REDACTED]).
While both subjects raised the level of mist all around them, they seem to forget about the possibility of another POI or GOI completely shrugging off the effect on mist. According to the stationing MTF unit, there was a high chance of "Clear-sighted" bystanders being exposed to the anomalous world.
Both POIs decided to speak about the possible incoming war between the gods (lists of possible K-CLASS END OF THE WORLD SCENARIOS listed above) and how the subject "Perseus" should not be yet a part of it.
The transcript of the conversation is listed below.

CHIRON: We would only make matter worse by rushing him. We need the boy to mature more.
GROVER UNDERWOOD: But he might not have time! The summer solstice deadline-
CHIRON: -Will have to be resolved without him, Grover. Let him enjoy his ignorance while he still can.
GROVER UNDERWOOD: Sir, he saw her…
CHIRON: His imagination. The mist over the students and staff will be enough to convince him of that.
GROVER UNDERWOOD: Sir I… I can't fail my duties again. You know what that would mean.
CHIRON: You haven't failed Grover. I should have seen her for what she was. Now let's just worry about keeping Percy alive until the next fall-
Both POIs are interrupted by botched eavesdropping by POI Perseus.

Incident 2 report.
While keeping the surveillance over all of the POIs still active within the walls of Yancy Academy, I cannot help but throw into the report parts of my personal feelings about the POIs.
In all of my years of working for the Foundation, I have never seen anyone with so childish and purely idiotic understanding of the safety protocols and procedures. Both Chiron's and Grover's behavior almost completely exposed the Greco-Roman part to the rest of the society (even if only partially). Appearing in their true form, openly discussing highly confidential details in the open to public space, not to mention not even relatively trying to secure the area other than through the mist.
While their ignorance works for the Foundation and only makes the surveillance jobs much easier to perform, it also endangers a large part of the Greco-Roman pantheon to the exposure to the society or other – much more dangerous – anomalous elements.
It is obvious that all Greco-Roman GOIs are relying too heavily on the mist, while also completely ignoring the fact that the mist no longer gives them the necessary protection from the rest of the world. It is yet to be determined if anyone from the GOI related to the Olympian deities has any plans or ideas as to what to do with it.
During the conversation, recorded by a member of MTF Alpha-11, the Foundation was able to learn a few important things and confirms a few theories about the future and possible moves of related GOIs.
We know that that Zeus has given time to the summer solstice for anyone to find his missing Master Bolt. Judging from their conversation, GOI Camp Half-Blood and – most likely – the Olympian Council as well are not aware of another missing godly artifact (Helm of Darkness).
Why Chiron and Grover Underwood decided to speak openly and in their true forms about such a confidential topic is unknown to us. But it only proves the ignorance and blind stupidity of their action.
Another thing to point out – Both POIs are adamant to keep POI Perseus in the shadows as long as possible. I am not able to tell what lead them to this decision, but I am afraid that it will soon backfire on them. Their conversation was being eavesdropped on by the very POI they wanted to protect.
As of now, we may be forced to eliminate both Chiron and Grover Underwood to protect and maintain the illusion of the normal and sane world.

File 1 addendum 7
Phase 1 of operation Lightning's Trail ended up on [REDACTED]-2005 to [REDACTED]-2005, with 2 POIs going back to [REDACTED]. The last two days of operation can be described as the most intense, at least compared to the period of the entire Phase 1.
Just within those two days, the Foundation had found evidence and witnessed a very high anomalous activity from the Greco-Roman pantheon, including the appearance of very dangerous HVTs. Just only during that time, the Foundation was on full alert, ready to minimize any possible encounter between civilians and anomalous elements.
The sudden appearance of the Moirai put the entire Foundation on high alert. The full capabilities of those anomalous POIs are not fully known and could compromise the Foundation. Members of the MTF Alpha-11 were asked not to interact or try to capture the Moirai sisters for the time of operation.
For the last encounter, this time with HVT identified as "Asterion", all members were asked to not interact as well towards the Asterion. Due to operating very near the GOI "Camp Half-Blood" HQ, the Foundation decided not to risk any member of MTF Alpha-11 to the exposure of an enemy GOI.
POI Perseus [REDACTED] and Grover Underwood were able to reach their GOI's HQ, sadly, not without a civilian casualty. Subject "Sally [REDACTED]" was captured by POI Asterion and then teleported to Erebus.
The Foundation believes that it was all orchestrated by another POI – Hades, most likely to persuade POI Perseus to find the missing Helm of Darkness.

Final Report from the phase 1 operation listed below.
File 1 Addendum 8
Final report of phase 1 of operation "Lightning's Trail".
Ever since the [PART REDACTED BY AN ORDER OF O5 COUNCIL], the Foundation took a more careful approach and decided to investigate what was going on inside of the largest anomalous group existing in the world.
The reports sent by local field agents were more than dreadful. Every bit of evidence suggested an incoming war within the Greco-Roman pantheon. The Foundation could not let the situation grow out of control, and so, through the order of the O5 council, and approval of the Foundation Ethics Committee, a special mobile task force Alpha-11, designated as the "Wolf Brigade" was sent to observe the major POIs of the Greco-Roman pantheon.
The investigation performed by the MTF and local field agents discovered an exacerbating situation – two weapons (the master bolt and the helmet of darkness) belonging to major POIs from the Greco-Roman pantheon were stolen by a demigod known as Luke Castellan.
During his confrontation with another POI, an anomalous deity identified as Ares, it was revealed that the mastermind behind the thievery was another anomalous deity known as Kronos – a titan, that as of now is still imprisoned in Tartarus. It is unknown yet how Kronos was able to regenerate enough to force his influence upon other people, but it is highly possible that soon he will be able to return from Tartarus and enter our dimension.
During the confrontation between the two POIs, it was revealed as well that the GOI known as the Olympus Council is not aware of the fact that Master Bolt is not the only weapon missing.
During the rest of the phase, the "Wolf Brigade" was observing another POI, the one was – at least according to a deity known as Zeus – was responsible for stealing his Master Bolt.
For [REDACTED] operated according to the O5 council wishes – that is to simply observe the POI (and another POIs that could later appear as well) and not intervene (unless it is completely necessary).
The sudden appearance of all other POI near the observed object seems to pose a high risk of exposing the rest of society to the dangerous anomalous world. The appearance of Asterion, Chiron, Alecto, and The Moirai strongly indicates that the Foundation must take more direct action against the Greco-Roman POIs in order to prevent one of the possible K-class scenarios and further exposure of the society to dangerous anomalous elements.
I believe that if anything, the Greco-Roman GOIs will most likely not survive the outcome of the civil war that might explode if both objects of interest are not returned to their previous holders. And it is a high possibility that this is what POI known as Kronos wants.
The Foundation cannot – by any means – let the Greco-Roman POIs escalate this conflict further. It must end within its core. Otherwise, the Foundation will have to face one of the possible K-class scenarios – something that we as the Foundation have to avoid at all cost.
As of now, the observed POIs (identified as Grover Underwood and Perseus [NAME REDACTED BY THE FOUNDATION ETHICS COMMETTEE]) are safe within the borders of HQ of Camp Half-Blood GOI. The MTF Alpha-11 "Wolf Brigade" awaits further orders from the Foundation.

The following is a report written by one of the undercover field agents within the Camp Half-Blood GOI.
[REDACTED]
After observing the POI, better known as Perseus [NAME REDACTED BY THE FOUNDATION'S ETHICS COMMITEE], the GOI itself became a little hectic. Within the first days, the observed subject remained in a mostly unconscious state.
After his recovery, the subject began to slowly adapt to the new environment.
His recovery was remarkably fast, that just a few days after him entering the GOI's HQ, he was able to perform a match with other subjects. Just like previous reports already stated, one of the main ways for the subjects within this GOI to prepare for incoming conflict is to play a fairly known around the globe game known as "Capture the flag".
It is unknown how the directors of the Camp Half-Blood GOI expect those young subjects to survive anything related to their own mythology, let alone with the dangers of the rest of the world (both anomalous and not) if their training regime is almost non-existing.
The best comparison of their training regime would be an activity widely known as "Roleplaying". There are no other words that can describe their idiocy. It is truly a wonder how did the entire Greco-Roman pantheon survive all those centuries.
Right after another pointless game, the main suspect was claimed by his father – a deity known as Poseidon, but not before being attacked by one of the monsters from Greek mythology – a hellhound. A quick investigation revealed that the one behind summoning the hellhound was Luke Castellan – the same one who a few months earlier had stolen Master Bolt and Helm of Darkness.
We suspect that the summoning was supposed to harm our main suspect to stop him for long enough for either Zeus or Hades to kill him.
Awaiting further orders,

Report of phase 2 of Operation Lightning's Trail.
CODENAME: STALKER
Description: After the prophecy received by the GOI Camp-Half Blood, and after sending three POIs to perform the operation (or as they prefer to call it "The Quest"), MTF Alpha-11 "Wolf Brigade" received orders to follow the three members of GOI Camp Half-Blood.
During the second phase of the operation, both local field agents and members of MTF Alpha-11 reported increased activities of many POIs related to the Greco-Roman pantheon. The full list of active Greco-Roman POIs and HVTs active during the second phase are listed below.
Annabeth [NAME REDACTED BY THE O5 COUNCIL] - a daughter of a deity from the Greco-Roman pantheon known as "Athena" and [PART OF THE DOCUMENT REDACTED BY THE O5 COUNCIL].
Dionysus – A deity from a Greco-Roman pantheon, associated with both Olympus Council and Camp Half-Blood GOIs, associated with a grape alcoholic beverage and with any form of insanity. Highly dangerous to the safety of the outside world, to be secured and contained at the first possibility.
The Furies – A trio of Hades's dangerous enforcers, one of which was already mentioned in this document (File 1 list of POIs and HVTs). Their action can risk the exposure of anomalous elements to the outside world. Subjects for a possible containment in the future if possible.
Medusa – a gorgon, one of the monsters from the Greco-Roman pantheon. Highly dangerous, with anomalous ability to turn whoever she gaze upon into a stone figure. Additionally, the subject instead of hair has a herd of snakes, long arms ended with sharp brass talons and large bat-like wings made from an anomalous metal identified as Imperial gold. To be secured and contained whenever possible.
Echidna – a monster from a Greco-Roman pantheon, often described in Mythology as a "mother of all monsters". Before the operation "Lightning's trail" was listed as a subject for possible containment in the future.
Chimera – a highly dangerous monster from a Greco-Roman pantheon. Listed as a subject to be secured and contained due to a high risk of exposure and endangering lives of innocent and uncompromised members of society.
Ares – one of the deities from the Greco-Roman pantheon, often described as a "god of war". Highly dangerous to society, known for provoking many wars in the past. Highly dangerous to the safety of the outside world, to be secured and contained at the first possibility.
Procrustes – also known as "the stretcher", a monster from a Greco-Roman pantheon. Due to a high risk of constant exposing and endangering of society to the dangers of the anomalous world, this monster is considered to be highly dangerous to the safety of the outside world, to be secured and contained at the first possibility.
All field agents and members of the mobile task force Alpha-11 should, by all means, remain in the shadow. Phase 2 is to be considered a deep-undercover operation. Any deviation from the foreseen protocols will result in immediate termination.
The 05 Council permits – under special situations and through the clearance of one of the members of 05 Council and/or Foundation's ethics committee – to pursue and initiate contact only under the following circumstances:
1 – If the unexposed parts of society are endangered to exposure or harm and possible death through the action of the Greco-Roman pantheon GOIs, POIs, and HVTs.
2 – If the Observed POIs are endangered through a containment breach from within the closest facility.
3 – If through the action of observed POIs it is possible to contain any of the anomalous elements.

Incident 3 report
CODENAME: Aunty Em's Gnome Emporium
On [REDACTED]-2005, in [REDACTED] location, during the initial part of phase 2, the following objects from the Camp Half-Blood GOI encountered a lair of one of the gorgons – Medusa. Due to the highly dangerous nature of Medusa, all agents observing the objects from GOI Camp Half-Blood were to halt direct surveillance and wait until the confrontation between observed POIs and Medusa was resolved.
After the confrontation and the confirmed defeat of Medusa, MTF Alpha-11 called for reinforcement to secure and contain the area.
In order to contain and hide any possible shreds of evidence of any anomalous activities, the Foundation sent MTF Epsilon-6 designated as "Village Idiots".
Village Idiots, after successfully securing the area, were able to recover over a hundred statues created from Medusa's curse. Most of those statues were humans who had mysteriously disappeared near the contained area within the last twenty-five years in various ages. Besides humans, there were also at least ten statues of satyrs and at least one statue of a dryad.
MTF Epsilon-6 was also to uncover the document suggesting that Medusa was selling her creations to people in other GOIs related to the Greco-Roman pantheon. As of now, the Foundation, through the help of the investigation of MTF Epsilon-6 and undercover field agents, was able to recreate the list of customers and the possible location of other Medusa's creations.
All known Greco-Roman GOIs related or involved with trading Medusa's creations are listed below:
Hermes Express
Amazons
DOA Record Studios
Olympian Council
The status of the investigation is still ongoing. It is unknown yet if HVT Medusa had contact with GOIs unrelated to the Greco-Roman pantheon.
All people turned into stone were cured and – after the memory alteration process – were able to be reintroduced to society. The remaining satyrs and a dryad were [DATA EXPUNGED].

Wolf-7: I don't think he would understand that at all. Then again, satyrs aren't exactly too brightest.

Wolf-Lead: Yes. And we're making sure that no satyr would ever find that place. It isn't that hard, really. Most satyrs are lured by monsters. We barely need to do anything. But if we do… Well… Not like anyone is searching for those satyrs, right?

Incident 4 report
On [REDACTED]-2005, in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A., an incident involving observed POIs and two other HVTs from the Greco-Roman pantheon (HVTs identified as Echidna and Chimera). Two newly identified monsters attacked the observed subject (Perseus), endangering the lives of at least four people in the process.
After a very short battle between the three POIs, the main subject plunged himself into a river, falling from a height of 192 meters.
During that confrontation, MTF-Alpha 11 called for reinforcement of local field agents in order to quickly eliminate the danger of information leak, while the Wolf Brigade itself was sent by the Foundation to capture both Echidna and Chimera.
Local field agents, camouflaged as paramedics workers were able to quickly give amnestics while tending the wounds of all people exposed.
The Foundation itself decided to not intervene and manipulate the news channels. The Foundation was more than aware of the third party trying to manipulate observed POI and paint them in a bad light. Through the order of the O5 Council, all news-manipulating operations related to the Greco-Roman GOIs were put on hiatus until the Lightning's Trail operation was concluded.
The following file is a transcript of radio traffic between members of MTF Alpha-11 designated as "Wolf Brigade" and [REDACTED] designated as "11-Actual", after the observed POIs skirmish on Gateway Arch.

Wolf-Lead: Wolf-Lead to 11-Actual, Alpha-11 on positions. We are ready to engage both HVTs.
11-Actual: Acknowledged. Proceed with caution. We need Chimera and Echidna contained ASAP.
Wolf-Lead slowly approaches two anomalous creatures identified as Echidna and Chimera. All other members of MTF Alpha-11 are in safe positions ready to shot down both HVTs if necessary.
Wolf-Lead: Wolf-Lead to 11-Actual. I am approaching the HVTs.
11-Actual: Try a diplomatic approach at first. If she attacks or refuses to cooperate, I give my permission to all of you to engage.
Wolf-Lead: Understood. 3 and 4, take your positions near the elevator. If this goes south, you will do the clean-up.
Wolf-3 and Wolf-4 acknowledge their orders and take their positions, all the while Wolf-Lead approaches two HVTs.
Wolf-Lead: Lady Echidna, it is pleasure to make your acquaintance.
HVT "Echidna": Oh Gods, another clear-sighted mortal. What do you want? Be fast, or else I will feed you to my sonny.
Wolf-Lead: Lady Echidna, I represent a very specific organization dedicated to protecting the public from anything that is considered anomalous. And I am afraid that we cannot let you roam free, especially after you put all those civilians here in direct danger.
HVT "Echidna": You… How dare you use that tone, you puny mortal?! I am the mother of all monsters! You should beg me for forgiveness while I am still in a good mood!
Wolf-Lead: Lady Echidna, I came to you to talk to you like to any civilized being, and so, if you want to be treated like one, please behave like one. Otherwise, we will have to use coercive means. You and your son are already on thin ice after what you two did a few moments ago.
HVT "Echidna": And tell me, mortal, what have I done? I did as lord Zeus told me to do! I did nothing wrong.
Wolf-Lead: You have endangered the lives of at least four civilians, risked the information leak about the anomalous world to the public. I am afraid that not even the authority of the Greek lord of the skies can help you. Not like it would help you anyway. The Foundation had enough of your games Lady Echidna. Come with us peacefully or we till take you through force.
HVT "Echidna": You think you can do something to me? Mortal weapons don't work on us! Sonny, eat this moron.
Wolf-Lead: If that's how you want to play… Six, Nine, Caustic Soda bullets for lion's eyes.
Shots are heard in the distance. Soon, Chimera's eyes are obliterated by Caustic Soda bullets, and soon, Chimera's roar of pain can be heard.

Wolf-Lead: Three, status.
Wolf-3: Secured.
Wolf-Lead: Return to the safe position.
Wolf-3 nods and leaves the operation zone.
HVT "Echidna: What… What have you…
Wolf-Lead: Lady Echidna, I will be frank with you. You will never see your "sonny" again unless you will cooperate with us. Come with us peacefully and we might negotiate the terms of your non-violent containment.
HVT "Echidna: You… HOW DARE YOU!
HVT "Echidna" rushes at Wolf-Lead with a high level of aggression. Wolf-Lead moves away, avoiding her charge.
Wolf-Lead: Seven, Eight, Caustic Soda bullets for Lady's eyes.
Another two shots are heard in the distance. Soon, the eyes of HVT "Echidna" are obliterated and Caustic Soda is furthering the cellular damage of the object.
Wolf-Lead: Four, clean-up for our Lady.
Wolf-Four comes out of his position, with another example of [REDACTED]. Meanwhile, HVT "Echidna" is still aggressively tossing around. Wolf-Lead gestures to Wolf-Four to stand down.
HVT "Echidna": I will have your head! I will have my children eat you! You hear me?! You will regret the day you hurt me, you pathetic mortal- wait, that scent… I recognize that scent… Who are you?!
11-Actual: Wolf-Lead, do not engage in her word games.
HVT "Echidna": That scent… But how?! It's impossible! You are a male! That's not-AAAAAARGH!
Wolf-Lead decides to inject into HVT "Echidna"'s moth another dose of Caustic Soda. Due to her appearing injuries, HVT "Echidna" is no longer capable of making coherent words.
Wolf-Lead: Four, proceed.
Wolf-Four takes out his secondary weapon and shoots HVT "Echidna" twice in the head. When her body starts to turn into dust, Wolf-Four turns on the [REDACTED].
Wolf-Lead: Wolf-Lead to 11-Actual, both objects are secured.
11-Actual: Return to TOC with both packages. MTF Iota-10 has secured the area and will take care of the package. After that, return to your primary mission.

Incident 5 report
On [REDACTED]-2005, another incident involving Greco-Roman deities and POIs happened in [REDACTED], Denver. A POI identified as "Ares" appeared to be observing the POIs while being in a public restaurant.
It was another example of an incident involving Greco-Roman POIs that nearly compromised the safety of society and exposed all members of local society to the larger anomalous world. After all, POIs left the buildings, the Foundation local field agents stepped in and minimized any possible chance of civil exposure, through the usage of amnestics drugs and memory alteration procedure.
Local field agents reported that the POI "Ares" almost caused a massive outbreak within the restaurant, by affecting the local residents with an increased level of stress and adrenaline. While said POI quickly "nullified" the effect, local field agents reported that exposed civilians still possed increased levels of adrenaline and fast high-rate.
The Foundation decided to just cover up the action of POI "Ares" until the possibility of containing will become less risky.
From the MTF Alpha-11 report, it is known that POI "Ares" ordered the rest observed POI retrieve a specific item from a local [REDACTED].

Addendum 1
Through the direct order of [PART OF THE FILE REDACTED BY A MEMBER OF O5 COUNCIL], MTF Alpha-11 was tasked with observing the three POIs from a safe distance. Members of the Wolf Brigade were also given special permission to intervene and get into closer contact with observed POIs if their lives would become endangered.
The following is a transcript of a fragment of radio transmission between members of MTF Alpha-11, designated as Wolf Brigade.
Begin Transcript
Wolf-6: A water park… Could be worse. They could go to a closed circus or something.
Wolf-2: Jesus Christ almighty, really? Are you're gonna make a joke out of 823?
Wolf-4: Yeah, somehow I don't feel comfortable talking about 823 while being inside a forgotten water park. It's all too similar to me.
Wolf-6: Just as long as we won't hear any music or piping-
Wolf-2: And they went into the Tunnel of Love… Thanks a lot [DATA EXPUNGED], you just crow it out.
Wolf-Lead: Now let's pray that they won't become inseparable… Five sent the ISR drones. I want to have a visual of everything they're doing.
Wolf-5: ISR drones sent. Now kids, be nice, you're under the watchful eyes of your babysitters…
All members of MTF Alpha-11 are observing the local environment and three assigned POI. Two of the POIs are continuing their travel through the tunnel of love, while the third one, through the usage of the anomalous objects, was flying at a low altitude near the buildings.
The situation changed dramatically when one of the observed POIs picked up an anomalous item, identified as the "Aphrodite's Scarf". Soon, the cherubs encrusting the "Thrill Ride O' Love" suddenly moved towards observed POIs.
Cupids: Live to Olympus in one minute… Fifty-nine seconds… Fifty-eight-
Annabeth: Hephaestus! I am so stupid. Eta is "H". He made this trap to catch his wife with Ares. No, we are going to be broadcast live to Olympus and look like absolute fools.
Soon, one of the observed POIs screams in terror, while from the tunnel thousands of little artificial metallic spiders poured out.
Annabeth: Spiders! Sp-sp-aaaah!
With every second, more spiders came to attack both observed POIs.
Wolf-3: Orders?
Wolf-Lead: Stay still. We will intervene only if it truly will be necessary.
Despite the initial problems, the trio of observed POIs were able to cooperate in order to stop the incoming wave of artificial metallic spiders and safely land outside of the "Thrill Ride O' Love" building, with both "Aphrodite's Scarf" and "Ares's shield" in their possession.
Perseus: Show's over! Thank you, Good night!
Wolf-2: Permission to laugh?
Wolf-Lead: Granted…
End of transmission.

Addendum 2
After all observed POIs retrieved two anomalous objects from the closed waterpark, they were once more approached by a greek deity identified as Ares. Soon after, they have received "help" from the said deity in form of transportation.
Said transportation method was a truck with smuggled animals, from one of the international companies handling the humanitarian transportation of animals across the world. Due to no coalition between said company and any of the anomalous elements, the Foundation decided to drop the investigation.
During the second conversation between observed POIs and deity "Ares", it was revealed to one of the POIs that their mother is alive.
Soon after, the observed trio rushed to the transportation truck. Due to the nature of the situation, it was impossible to secure and contain a deity known as "Ares".

Incident 6 report
GOI involved: Lotus Hotel and Casino.
Description: On [REDACTED]-2005, after arriving in Las Vegas, Nevada, three POIs observed by MTF Alpha-11, designated as Wolf Brigade, accidentally stumbled upon another GOI associated with the Greco-Roman pantheon, known as Lotus Hotel and Casino.
Lotus Hotel and Casino is known to be one of the most dangerous GOIs associated with the Greco-Roman pantheon. Members of the GOI often lure innocent and unexposed people into the GOI's HQ, where soon after they are drugged with the usage of an anomalous drug known as "Lotus Flower".
The Foundation was able to gather and analyze the anomalous drug known as "Lotus Flower". Said drug is capable of getting any host addicted in a span of just a few bites. Victim of a lotus flower often experiences problems with long and short-term memory, cognitive skills, and often becomes vulnerable to all suggestions.
WARNING TO ALL FIELD AGENTS OPERATING WITHIN THE CLOSE PROXIMITY AREA OF LOTUS HOTEL AND CASINO AND INFILTRATING THE FOLLOWING GOI
The Foundation believes that the anomalous drug identified as "Lotus Flower" is distributed not only in an edible form but also through droplet way and gas-like form throughout the area of the main building and within the close proximity of the GOI. All field agents are asked to take every precaution possible to protect themselves from both direct and indirect exposure to Lotus Flower.
All agents after performing a task related in any way to the Lotus Hotel and Casino GOI are ordered to go through immediate chemical tests and psychological evaluation. All agents resisting the order are to be deemed as lost and exterminated as soon as possible.
All agents exposed to the anomalous drug - be it directly or indirectly - are ordered to be moved to the nearest containment area and placed in an isolated unit. If after medical and psychological evaluation they do not display any form of addiction or desire to take more of the drug, they can be slowly reintroduced to the Foundation's tasks. Any exposed personnel resisting the isolation order are ordered to be terminated as soon as possible.
The Foundation believes that the Lotus Hotel and Casino might have an access to the anomalous objects and phenomenons, allowing them to lure more people under their influence more effectively.
All known (anomalous and not) forms of luring and persuading victims are listed below:
Lotus Flower (eaten and most likely inhaled)
The Mist (Common anomalous element for all GOIs related to the Greco-Roman pantheon).
Subliminal Messages (through various sources)
All possible elements used by the Lotus Hotel and Casino GOI are listed below:
Infohazard
Cognitohazard
Memetic Agents

POI involved: Procrustes
Following the incident with [DATA EXPUNGED], the three observed targets became involved with yet another known monster from the Greco-Roman pantheon, widely known as the "stretcher". According to the Foundation archives, in ancient times Procrustes was responsible for the death of many people in the Attica, in a very painful and sadistic manner.
The Foundation compared the list of all missing people where Procrustes created his shop and estimated that a large number of missing people can be or even most likely are related to the Procrustes's activity in the area.
Knowing that Procrustes's activity is endangering the lives of all civilians living in the area of [REDACTED], the O5 Council decided, that Procrustes must be contained as soon as possible. Due to the subject's sadistic nature, negotiations were not allowed.
On [DATA EXPUNGED], Mobile Task Force Alpha-11, designated as Wolf Brigade, received a direct order from a member of the O5 council to split their unit into two parts – one received an order to continue their previous mission, the other one received an order to contain Procrustes by all means.
The opportunity for the containment procedure became possible, due to the actions of the observed targets from the Camp Half-Blood GOI. Target Procrustes was found tied to one of the anomalous beds, actively begging for the release.
Procrustes was quickly shot in the head by a member of the MTF Alpha-11 unit, and then, through the usage of [REDACTED] secured package. Soon after, the metamorphosed Procrustes was transported to the nearest facility.

Addendum 1
Soon after, the shop previously owned by the Procrustes was bought by the Foundation and closed to the public eye.
The Foundation opened the investigation, to learn as to for how many people disappearance was Procrustes responsible. Soon, local field agents have found a massive grave in the shop's backyard, containing bodies of at least seventy-five people.
The investigation discovered that at least twenty-six people (twenty men and six women) died due to blood loss after their limbs were chopped off. The rest remaining forty-nine (twenty men and twenty-nine women, including six children) died due to the painful torture of stretching their limbs, often causing the following trauma:
Limbs popping out of their sockets
Broken Spinal Cords
Blood loss due to victims limbs being torn away from the rest of their bodies
It is unknown if those seventy-five bodies make the final number of Procrustes's victims. What the Foundation is certain of is that none of the Procrustes' beds were sold to the public. The status of the investigation is ongoing.

Incident 8 report
Description: Following the successful return from the Greek underworld, the three observed POIs were approached once more by a greek deity identified as "Ares" in [DATA EXPUNGED], who claimed to be the one to allow the real lightning bolt and the helm of shadows' thief to run away and hide.
During the conversation, it was also revealed that "Ares" might be controlled by a third party, who forced him to participate in this operation through some unknown mind-control ability.
Due to the fact, that the danger of full exposure of innocent civilians to the anomalous world became a highly possible option, MTF Alpha-11 Wolf Brigade called for immediate reinforcement, in order to maintain the minimum exposure.
Through the order of the O5 council, all local field agents were mobilized and called to action. Local units of MTF Iota-10 Damn Feds were called as well in order to minimize the contact of civilians with any anomalous effect to the minimum. MTF Gamma-5 Red Herrings was mobilized as well, due to the high possibility of information leak to the public.
MTF Alpha-11 Wolf Brigade received an order of immediate termination of all POIs if the danger to the outside world would become too much to handle. The decision to terminate was left in hands of the commanding officer of MTF Alpha-11 a.k.a. Wolf-lead.
After the initial conversation, two POIs, identified as Perseus [REDACTED] and Ares started to fight in public, fully exposing their anomalous abilities to the world, while also directly endangering all the civilians and local authority figures in the area.
MTF Iota-10 Damn Feds was able to quickly withdraw all the authority forces from the area, minimizing any potential victims to the anomalous event, as well as minimizing any potential leaks of information to the public. MTF Iota-10 called for reinforcements from the MTF Mu-4 Debuggers to track down any potential leaks of information.
After the skirmish between two POIs, one of POI (Ares) escaped from the area, while cursing the other POI (Perseus). Soon after, local field agents reported to the Wolf-Lead that three HVTs appeared on the scene. Those new HVTs were quickly identified as the Furies.
MTF Alpha-11 commanding officer ordered to not engage in any way with any observed HVTs and to remain incognito by all costs.
Soon, POI Perseus hand over to the HVTs Furies item identified as Helmet of Darkness, and then with two other HVTs (Annabeth, Grover) walked away from the [REDACTED].
Members of MTF Alpha-11 Wolf Brigade were called to follow the three HVTs back to the [REDACTED].

The following is a synopsis of the report from one of the undercover agents within the GOI Camp Half-Blood.
[REDACTED]
According to our undercover field agents working inside the Camp Half-Blood GOI, and following the incoming reports from all field agents and MTF units ordered with the following POIs from Camp Half-Blood, the Foundation can fully confirm that both Master bolt and Helmet of Darkness were returned to their previous owners, and thus the threat of another anomalous outbreak on a global scale was avoided.
[REDACTED]
All observed POIs safely returned to their GOI's HQ, mostly unharmed.
Due to the incident that occurred in the following days, The Foundation is now certain that Luke Castellan, a demigod son of Hermes was the one who stole both objects of interest. It was also revealed that Luke Castellan worked for another entity, identified as Kronos.
As of now, Luke Castellan had escaped from Camp Half-Blood. His current location is yet to be determined.

The Poker Player
Field agents from the area of [REDACTED] found out that one of the observed targets, identified as Sally [REDACTED] decided to sell a sculpture that highly resembled her husband Gabe Ugliano.
The Foundation agents soon stormed into Sally's apartment and salvage both sculpture and anomalous object identified as Medusa's head. Following the standard procedure, Sally's memories were altered.
Officially, she was able to sell the sculpture and receive nice opinions from critics. The Foundation sent her a satisfactory amount of money to cover all of her expenses. Both the sculpture and the Medusa's head were secured and transported to the nearest facility.
Soon after, Gabe Ugliano was released from his sculptured state and was soon introduced to the foundation as new D-class member personnel.

The Foundation took all the necessary steps to erase from existence any possible trace of activities from POIs Perseus, Annabeth, and Grover. All records of their questionable activities performed during operation Lightning's Trail that could pose dangers to the privacy of their life were erased from any records.
All workers from TV stations and newspapers as well as workers of government offices undergone a standard memory-changing procedure.
File 10
The following is the final report of operation Lightining's Trail, written by Wolf-Lead, the commanding officer of MTF Alpha-11, designated as Wolf Brigade, to the O5 council.
[DATA EXPUNGED] [REDACTED]
After many months, I am pleased to report that the operation of Lightning's Trail is a major success for the Foundation. All of the possible K-classes scenarios were prevented through the hard work and excellent cooperation of all Foundation members involved.
And yet, sadly, it would seem that the Foundation will have to keep a more vigil eye on all the GOIs related to the Greco-Roman pantheon. It would seem, that the Greco-Roman pantheon is preparing for a large-scale operation, something that we as Foundation cannot let continue unless we want to risk a major K-class scenario.
Following the previous incident and adding the course of this operation, it is obvious that the Greco-Roman pantheon became too dangerous for their own good, and, as much as they would like to pretend that they're not, they bring too much risk of exposure of the anomalous elements to the society. Something that we as Foundation cannot tolerate.
It is hard to even begin on how much the Greco-Romans are a danger to the world.
The mist, something they claim is their ultimate protection from the eyes of all "mortals" is nothing more than a failed experiment running rampant. All deities and people affiliated with the Greco-Roman pantheon blindly continue to believe that the mist is going to make them forever invisible to the world. While that could work in the previous centuries, in modern times the mist is almost completely useless.
I cannot even begin to understand how detached from the world they can be if they believe that the mist is enough to keep them safe. Throughout history, there are countless cases of the so-called "clear-sighted mortals" – people, who were completely immune to the effects of mist. Same people later passed down their knowledge (or at least partial knowledge) about the anomalous world further, creating small circles and even entire groups who had access to dangerous knowledge.
Some of those groups are now known to us as the Groups of Interest. After all, the reason as to why, for example, the Global Occult Coalition is aware of the existence of the Greco-Roman pantheon is mostly due to clear-sighted mortals.
The mist is also a useless element when it comes to dealing with any form of technology. There are countless records of the Foundation's almost heroic efforts of deleting any form of records of Greco-Roman activities, be it recorded through the use of modern technology or older ones. How anyone associated with the Greco-Roman pantheon is not aware of the fact that mist only works on most humans I cannot even begin to comprehend.
The deities of this mythology seem to live in a bubble, where they still believe to be the rulers of the world. Their lack of respect and understanding of human life is despicable and often provokes unnecessary civilian exposure to various anomalous elements.
What seems to be even more despicable, is the fact that they seem to have no concern about sending underage people – children even – on dangerous missions just for the gods' fun is reputed and must be put to an end, as soon as possible.
Not to mention releasing dangerous monsters just to test those children.
And yet, the entire operation of Lightning's Trail ended up as a major success. Both stolen items of power were brought back, the Foundation managed to contain a few monsters from the Greco-Roman pantheon, and gained Intel that most likely will be a massive asset for the Foundation.
The Foundation also made sure to eliminate any traces of any activities coming from either three HVTs or any GOI related to the Greco-Roman pantheon.
What seems to be shocking and almost frightening is that not even one deity from Olympus decided to do anything with the information that one of their biggest enemies – their "father" Kronos – seems to gain enough power to influence not only demigods but deities as well. The skirmish between two HVTs [REDACTED], as well as the later occurrence in the Camp Half-Blood between [DATA EXPUNGED], proves that soon the Foundation will have to face another GOI coming from the Greco-Roman pantheon.
Personally, I believe that POI Perseus will be able to not fall under Kronos' influence. His chances of survival are yet to be determined.
As of now, we must prepare for the oncoming war between many GOIs from the Greco-Roman pantheon. And we must prepare as well for other major GOIs to look closely as to what is happening with the Olympus deities. And we must prepare ourselves to make our move as well.
As of now, all we can hope for is that no one from Greco-Roman GOIs will do anything to change the Foundation's tactics on how to deal with anything related to mythology.

Time for your comments!
Doomqwer – Power scale of the SCP universe be like this: Have you ever heard about the k-class scenarios? And you know what is the scariest in the When Day Breaks scenario? That it's not over…
Spyash2 – Thank you! I was scared that it won't be as scary as I thought!
Rarrarshark – One chapter coming right now!

King's key – Lucky you say… Oh boy, if you only knew… If you only knew… But that is for the future to tell…
Head of Slytherin House – Yes, the thaumaturgic will be a part of this story as well, after all, it is an important part of the SCP Universe. As to what, for example, members of Beta-777 think about PJO magic… You will learn sooner or later. And to not spoil anything I won't say anything else, sorry.
ChaosGodLizea – Thank you very much!
TheCrystonian – You will never find out… or will you? All I can say is that [YOU NEED A SECURITY LEVEL 5 CLEARANCE TO SEE THIS PART OF THE COMMENT]
Mend1cant Bias – Well… I was disappointed in his story as well. And I am glad that you like this story.
Guest – I know which one, and I think you know it too.
Pvt. Marlow - Thank you for helping me out! I tried to use as much as I could from what I saw in the comments in this chapter. Please just mind that I am still learning all of this and it might take a while before I will be able to fully and correctly implement this into FtL. But I will try my best!
Head of Slytherin House(2) – Thanks. To be honest it is kinda interesting to see the entire spectrum of the Sarcic Cults (both proto and neo) – from somehow peaceful Amish-like groups to full fanatical zealots who want just power. I will have to dive into Sarcism even deeper…
GOCsoldier426 – Thank you! As I said in the previous comment to Pvt, I will try to implement those elements into this story, but it will still take some time before I will be able to do it correctly. Once again thank you for the help!
Techiocon – Well, it's hard to make MTF interact with people from PJO when MTF's entire mission is to contain anomalies and to make sure that no one knows about the Foundation. Other GOIs will appear as well since every GOI has different plans for the Greco-Roman pantheon. As for brothers of death… IDK yet.
Kriegsmen - *loads the MG 42* cowabunga it is.
Superstitious Studios – Like… None? Seriously, the Foundation contains beings that could wipe out entire life from Earth or even destroy the reality itself. Do you think they will be scared of some overgrown children with flashy powers?
GenericPjoName – Thank you very much, it means a lot to me. Sadly, I don't think I could ever submit this as a WDB story, due to the fact that it contains too many elements of PJO. But thank you nevertheless for your kind words.
Killjack43 - ...no?
MeFluf – Childs? …um, what?
Anyway, that's it for today.
