Well, there's one essay down. Only three more of the miserable buggers to go now. To celebrate the whittling down of Uni work I have to do; here's a log, which I've not done in a while.
Wanted to do one for Randolf and Ethan (and an extended one for Sydney and Kit) but coming up with scenarios that make sense with the descriptive tools I'd have to use (camera footage, audio logs, text and emails etc.) escape me. If you guys have any suggestions then please, I would love to hear them.
Operation Report: 'Falling Star'
Location: Africa, Congo, unidentified rural area
Operational report: At approx. 1204 hours on the 4th December 2011, a troop of Blackwater Worldwide Mercenaries on a training exercise encountered a BOW outbreak in a local village. The troop allegedly engaged with little idea of what was afflicting the villagers, believing them simply insane, or sick. The troop took more than 50% casualties before finally realising that their foes were more than sickly African villagers.
The ranking officer present – a Corporal Adams – led the troop away from the village to what he believed was the direction of the Blackwater encampment. Unwittingly he led his team further away from the camp and deeper into the heart of the country, with the BOWs in pursuit. The troop stopped off three times in various rural settlements and each time the BOWs caught up and laid waste to the area, resulting in the troop being gradually more outnumbered. Desperate, Corporal Adams finally managed to contact command and informed them of the situation. Command called that they had ordered a specialist.
Three days later the troop reached the ruin of an old Colonial-era fortress, where a single man who went only by the alias 'VIPER' waited for them. Taking stock of their armament and supply situation, he ordered them into various positions in the fortress before ordering them to conceal themselves as best they could. The BOWs shambled into range of the fort where VIPER lured them into the central courtyard. Once all were in place he ordered the Blackwater mercenaries to reveal themselves and aim for the head, single-shot.
Within the space of two minutes the mob of BOWs – which had stretched upwards of 100 – was eliminated. Thanking the mercenary for his task the Blackwater mercenaries were then safely evac-[ERROR!DATACORRUPTED!]
Dear Ms. Bennet.
An investigation into the corrupted report revealed a breach in security. It appears that this report was altered, then about to be removed from our database entirely before our techies could stop it. It's almost like the hacker changed his mind about whatever he had in mind for the file mid-way, and it was only this sudden change which told us that anything was going on at all. A trace attempt so far has yielded no results. No trail, not even from BLOODHOUND which tells us nothing except that the hacker was more than just good. He was otherworldly.
As to your request for the FOX troop who were deployed in the Congo on a training exercise on the 4th December 2011: we're unable to comply because the FOX troop are all listed as missing in action. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever saw a report outlining their evacuation or debriefing. It's as if the troop simply vanished into thin air. I'm sorry Carol, but it's a dead end.
Yours,
Andrew Larkin
