OPERATION SUMMARY
Operation Designation: CONSTABLE’S DEATH
Tasking Division: (REDACTED)
Field Operative: Operative Blackwood
Primary Location: [REDACTED] Containment and Research Site
Mission Type: Counterintelligence investigation / internal misconduct inquiry

1. Objective

Following the suspicious death of Captain Isa Mahmoud, the highest-ranking GENSEC officer at [REDACTED] Site, Operative Blackwood was deployed under Foundation Ethics Bureau cover to determine:

• The circumstances surrounding Mahmoud’s death
  
  

• Whether Site command personnel were involved
  
  

• If systemic policy or cultural failures contributed
  
  

Official report listed cause of death as a training mishap. Preliminary intelligence suggested an intentional silencing.

2. Subject Overview

Captain Mahmoud was known for rejecting discrimination, maintaining strict ethics, and protecting junior personnel regardless of background. Prior to his death, he had submitted two sealed reports alleging:

• Unauthorized detentions of minority staff
  
  

• Patterned assignment of hazardous rotations
  
  

• Suppressed promotions and evaluations
  
  

His body was discovered in a storage bay adjacent to the weapons cache. Blunt force trauma. No fingerprints. No witnesses. Footage corrupted.

3. Operational Chronology

— 09:24 hours – Arrival
Operative Blackwood entered the site under the guise of conducting a mid-cycle audit. Greeted by Site Director Alton Kreele, who insisted the death was "unfortunate, but unremarkable." Blackwood noted significant discomfort among middle command personnel.

— 11:00 hours – Interrogation Phase I
Conversations with junior staff revealed that Mahmoud had been warned to “stop asking things he didn’t need to know.”
Two officers anonymously confessed he had expressed fear that someone “from upstairs” had eyes on him.

— 13:17 hours – Systems Audit
Using a forensics bypass, Blackwood recovered partial internal surveillance logs previously deleted. Footage showed Assistant Site Director Emilia Roche entering the storage wing six minutes before Mahmoud’s death and exiting alone twenty minutes later. She later claimed she “hadn’t left her office.”

— 14:08 hours – Confrontation
Blackwood confronted Roche directly. She attempted to deflect blame to “a rogue shift officer” but failed to explain discrepancies in badge activity and timecodes. Under pressure, she admitted that Mahmoud was preparing to report her unauthorized red list personnel transfers and had “become a liability.”

Her final words before detainment: “He wouldn’t stop digging. So I closed the grave.”

— 15:36 hours – Director's Response
Site Director Kreele claimed ignorance. However, metadata from internal memos showed his approval signature on Roche’s cleared movement during the time of death. No official action was taken by him after Mahmoud’s death.

Blackwood classified Kreele’s role as “complicity by concealment.” He was removed pending disciplinary review.

5. Post-Action Assessment

The death of Captain Mahmoud was not a moment of madness—it was a sanctioned silencing within a structure built to overlook discomfort. The cultural rot within this site was not a flaw. It was design.

Blackwood concluded that Mahmoud “wasn’t killed for disobedience. He was killed for remembering what right looked like.”

Captain Secretary (verbal):

“The ghosts he feared weren’t anomalous. Just uniformed.”

Filed by: Operative Blackwood
Reviewed by: Captain Secretary
Clearance Level: 5
Addendum: On the wall behind Mahmoud’s personal desk, written faintly in chalk:

“They don’t need to hate you. Just need you gone.”

Operation concluded. Site integrity revoked.
