The January 28th Incident, 2024
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
On 2024-01-28, a Sarkic incursion event designated [EVENT-ID: SARK-0128-GA] occurred in the vicinity of northeastern Georgia, approximately 30 km outside of Athens. The incursion involved the emergence of a Proto-Kazdahlite Sarkic cult from a previously undocumented subsurface structure network. Initial anomalous activity was masked by a category-level winter storm front, accompanied by geomagnetic interference and total failure of regional telecommunications infrastructure.
Foundation detection protocols were delayed by over 20 hours due to meteorological masking and the absence of prior anomalies in the sector. Civilian population in the affected area was estimated at 160–200 individuals. Initial containment and recovery operations were initiated by MTF Xi-8 (“The Last to Fall”) at 0417 EST on 2024-01-30.
At 1642 EST on 2024-01-31, Foundation personnel recovered a civilian survivor identified as Louis Everett, located near the ruins of a collapsed barn northeast of Athens. Everett presented with untreated injuries, early-stage frostbite, severe dehydration, and several abrasions and bruises. Despite these conditions, Everett had survived alone for nearly three days, actively avoiding cultist patrols and destroying two emergent Sarkic bio-altars using fire and crude improvised tools.
Subject's daughter, Peachie Everett (age 9), was confirmed deceased. Surveillance drone footage, as well as thaumaturgic residue at Site-9R, confirmed her death occurred at approximately 2300 on 2024-01-30 during a ritual execution carried out by five cult adherents. Everett claims he was present but concealed at a distance, and no viable extraction method was available due to cultist encirclement and area hazards. Everett remained in the area until recovery, having tracked and wounded one cultist in apparent retaliation.
Post-recovery, Everett aided Foundation forces in the final suppression push through the biostructure network, including identification of ingress points and weaknesses in Sarkic growth zones. His knowledge of local terrain and erratic, aggressive behavior were cited as instrumental in the neutralization of three separate cultist clusters.
Upon conclusion of EVENT-ID: SARK-0128-GA on 2024-02-01, Everett voluntarily remained in Foundation custody and formally petitioned for enlistment into the Provisional Operative Program.
Subject has since been processed into temporary auxiliary assignment under conditional clearance. Psychological assessment indicates acute PTSD, unresolved traumatic grief, and persistent disinhibition marked by inappropriate humor in high-stress environments. While disruptive in formal settings, this behavior has not impeded field functionality. Clearance for continued deployment remains in effect under psychiatric monitoring.
No memetic contamination detected. Subject remains stable.
Transfer to Site-66 Nu-7 branch has been approved as of 2024-04-16.
