1. Objective
MTF Omega-1 was deployed to investigate a series of formal complaints raised by embedded Ethics Liaison staff concerning human experimentation violations, refusal to implement updated containment protocols, and verbal misconduct by Site Director (REDACTED). The mission was classified under Directive Warden’s Lantern, with explicit orders to investigate and, if necessary, remove unethical command personnel.
2. Personnel Dynamics
Captain Justice led the deployment. Known for his affable demeanor and unshakable ethical spine, he set the tone with clarity and warmth. Operative Blackwood was new to Omega-1, recently transferred and still adjusting to the unit’s standards. Team roster included seasoned specialists, each selected for judgment, tact, and pressure resilience.
Codename Role

3. Timeline of Action
0803 hours – Arrival at Site (REDACTED). Greeted coldly by security. Site Director issued a late summons for clearance review, delaying entry.
0836 hours – Team began interviews with key staff. Repeated accounts pointed to a pattern of command rooted in outdated methods, fear-based compliance, and verbal beratement. Subject 9A, a cognitohazard test patient, had been denied rest cycles in direct violation of Article 12 of Containment Ethics Charter.
0927 hours – Operative Blackwood confronted Subdirector Clearey over falsified log entries and unauthorized sedation use. Blackwood’s tone was sharp, his judgment swift. Captain Justice allowed the confrontation to play out, noting Blackwood’s assertiveness.
1014 hours – The team entered the Director’s office. Operative Psalm quietly removed a drawer file of hard copies detailing additional violations dating back five years. Captain Justice conducted a formal dialogue with the Director. The conversation remained cordial, but his message was clear.
“We are not here to change the Foundation’s past. We are here to make sure it has one.”
1040 hours – Site Director refused to comply with proposed reforms. Captain Justice issued an immediate Article-33 removal order. Blackwood oversaw handoff to Internal Security with Gavel verifying custody transfer.
4. Results
Subject Status
Site Director (REDACTED) Removed from position pending full Ethics Committee trial
Staff involved in violations Reassigned or placed under review
Site compliance level Elevated to conditional oversight
Operative Blackwood Commended for initiative and poise under ethical tension
5. Evaluation
While still adjusting to the expectations of Omega-1, Blackwood showed emerging leadership and willingness to confront moral ambiguity head on. His methods carried remnants of his prior espionage-focused training, leaning toward swift action rather than procedural patience. Captain Justice noted this but saw promise.
Captain Justice Observation
"Blackwood walks with the weight of wolves on his shoulders. He has not learned to rest yet. But in the stillness between confrontation and command, I see someone who might one day lead this unit when I am gone."
Blackwood Private Log
"I did not expect this command to be kind. I think I feared that kindness and discipline could not coexist. But Justice proves they can. He leads without threat. And he saw something in me I do not yet name."

Addendum
In the stairwell leading out of the sublevel containment hall, someone had carved a phrase into the concrete, worn but legible beneath years of dust:
“Stone holds history. But it does not command the future.”
The Ethics Committee has taken this to heart. LOCKED STONE is closed. Next operation pending.
