OPERATION SUMMARY
Operation Designation: VEIL INTRUSION
Tasking Division: (REDACTED)
Field Operative: Operative Blackwood
Primary Location: [REDACTED] Research and Containment Site
Mission Type: Post-raid analysis and internal sabotage investigation
In the aftermath of a Chaos Insurgency raid on Foundation Site [REDACTED], Operative Blackwood was deployed to:
Determine how internal systems—including the veil-class defense grid—were compromised
Identify responsible personnel
Recover or neutralize remaining threats and materials associated with the breach
The attack resulted in three lost anomalies, fifteen Foundation casualties, and one compromised storage wing.
Initial reports claimed a critical generator failure disabled automated defensive systems, allowing insurgent forces to breach the perimeter undetected. The shutdown occurred 47 seconds before the attack—too precise to be coincidental.
Surveillance was scrubbed by a “false update” uploaded 12 hours before the event. Power routing was rerouted internally. Suspicions of insider involvement were confirmed within 36 hours.
— 08:24 hours – Arrival
Operative Blackwood arrived under emergency clearance. Most of the site remained on lockdown. Temporary command granted by emergency protocol. Survivors described hearing the alarms—but only after power was already lost.
— 09:57 hours – Systems Review
Blackwood discovered manual override commands executed from within the server nexus. Logs had been scrubbed—but fragment data revealed a familiar clearance string: A7-Sable.
That string was assigned to Dr. Julian Heiss, Head of Research—declared missing two months prior during unrelated fieldwork. He was presumed dead. That designation had remained active in the system.
— 10:33 hours – Physical Evidence
Further search uncovered a thumb drive embedded in a dismantled backup module. Contained looping code designed to simulate normal energy readings while disabling defensive architecture. File architecture matched Dr. Heiss’ prior scripting patterns from anomaly encoding work.
Additionally: a single post-it note recovered from inside the cabinet door. Written in Heiss’ handwriting.
“Never believed in the veil. Only in the fire.”
— 11:14 hours – Site Intercept
Security logs updated. A personal shuttle registered to Dr. Heiss departed from a disguised hangar two hours before Blackwood’s arrival. Flight vector was scrambled, with no recovery beacon.
Blackwood’s attempt to track him across external systems failed—Heiss had layered clearance-level obfuscation across at least three fallback identity shells.
He was gone.
Target
Status
Dr. Julian Heiss – Head of Research
Confirmed defector; escaped before capture
Compromised Assets
3 anomalies lost to CI; 2 suspected to be portable weapons-grade
Damage Assessment
Containment Wing E destroyed; 15 casualties, 4 permanent disabilities
Sabotage Trail
Confirmed entry vector, digital ghost trace left as signature
This was not a passive breach. It was an invitation, issued from inside the Foundation by a man entrusted with its deepest truths. Heiss did not simply defect—he planned his departure over months, embedding digital subversions behind harmless updates.
Blackwood’s report identifies the breach as “an act of ideological precision—not revenge, not desperation, but belief.”
Captain Secretary (verbal):
“He didn’t run from us. He ran to something. That’s worse.”
Operative Blackwood has marked Heiss as a high-value target of personal priority. Clearance has been granted for long-term tracking and engagement.
