Operation Relentless Dusk was a combat search and rescue operation sanctioned by TITAN INTERNATIONAL SECURITY CORPORATION and undertaken by the TITAN SPECIAL OPERATION FORCES [TSOF] branch of TITAN and was executed by Seraphim Squad. It took place on February 12th, 2025 in the Northern area of the Quebec Province in Canada following a distress signal from TITAN R&D personnel following a raid by an unknown group that was in progress at the time. Mission directive was to locate all alive personnel and exfiltrate them while limiting casualties and attempting to deescalate the situation or neutralize the present threat.
The aforementioned raid was started at 2200 hours by a group that is heavily suspected to be associated with the Hands of the Eternal Flame [HEF], but not endorsed by PRISEC or the US Government due to a lack of additional military support outside of HEF operatives. Current speculation centers around the group behind this raid being a splinter group of the HEF, or something of the like. Following loss of contact at 2237 hours with rapid-response recovery forces and non-combat TITAN-affiliated personnel, Seraphim Squad [who were located approximately 15 minutes away via car] were dispatched to the incident and briefed enroute to the AO, Seraphim Squad arrived at 2255 hours and entered the building at 2300 hours.
Upon entry into the building from Entry Point A, Seraphim Squad moved into the nearest room, where they located what seemed to be a signal jammer, guarded by 4 heavily armored operatives. Upon breach, 2 surrendered [and were later identified as [REDACTED][A] and [REDACTED][[B]], 1 was severely injured following an attempt at armed resistance, and 1 was killed after attempting to fire upon Seraphim Operatives. After all enemies were secured, WINGS and SERAPH disabled the jammer, while HALO and PLUME stabilized the injured operative, afterwards HALO went to confirm the casualty and PLUME interrogated both uninjured operatives for any information they had on the TITAN Personnel, where B divulged that the previous recovery force was confirmed KIA, except for one member who was severely injured but had likely bled out by now. Following this, A mentioned they hadn’t seen any non-combat personnel.
After this, Seraphim moved out of the room and began clearing the target building, eliminating approximately 20 enemy operatives and capturing upwards of 10 before locating the TITAN personnel at 0000 hours. After immediate deescalation, Seraphim secured the room before reporting that all except 3 personnel [who had evacuated prior] were accounted for. Upon receiving confirmation from higher command and GUARDIAN that these were the personnel , the personnel were treated for any injuries they sustained. However, during preparation to escort the personnel out of the building, GUARDIAN had them hold for approximately 3 minutes. Following this hold, GUARDIAN explained that an assumed KIA operative was still alive and requesting assistance.
Following this transmission, all members of Seraphim escorted the HVTs to safety. Following all HVTs being escorted safely out of the building, a small delay occurred leading to HALO and WINGS departing slightly earlier than expected, leaving approximately 5 minutes before SERAPH and PLUME followed behind.
HALO and WINGS entered the approximate location where they searched for about 3 minutes until they located the injured operative [JS], where HALO stabilized JS while WINGS radioed in, informing Seraphim that they located JS. This, however, led to a group of enemy soldiers becoming suspicious and investigating, finding both HALO and WINGS, where WINGS immediately eliminated 1 enemy and HALO fired upon the other two, grazing one and injuring the other.
The two remaining enemy soldiers took cover behind a nearby door before the grazed operative began opening fire upon WINGS, HALO, and JS, who were unable to locate cover in the short window between the enemy soldiers taking cover and opening fire.
This spray led to WINGS being hit three times in the chest and abdomen,JS being struck in the leg, and HALO taking a shot to the shoulder. HALO, the least injured of the group, fired upon the enemy soldiers, causing them to retreat slightly, allowing her enough time to stabilize herself using the HI-21 Stim Gun before suppressing the threat as best as she could.
Around this time, SERAPH and PLUME arrived, fully eliminating the threat before assisting HALO in stabilizing WINGS and JS and assisting them in exiting the target building, where all injured personnel were treated before being evacuated to the nearest medical facility.
Enroute, JS passed away from brain damage and internal hemorrhage. WINGS and his return to duty remains undetermined but outcomes medically suggest it possible following adequate recovery. Outcomes for HALO are arguably favorable. At the moment of writing this, HALO is expected to return to active duty following the completion of the 1 month retraining program [3 total months of recovery/1 month retraining].
Due to the loss of WINGS, a temporary operative [see File NO#: MD4-1C3] has been transferred to Seraphim Squad’s roster.
