Project Aurora

15/10/20XX

Namalsk, Bering Sea

The “Aurora” programme has failed, overrun of [REDACTED] on Namalsk, Namaltic strait. Operation Status compromised, extraction of select personnel completed.

To prevent further operational loss, surviving researcher [REDACTED] has been tasked with reforming a new initiative using the knowledge gained from projects [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] as well as the “Aurora” programme. It is the first step to uncover the origin of the Redacted and the journey towards a possible vaccine. In tandem with provisions set by Research Supervisor [REDACTED], [REDACTED] will survey possible sites of interest; territory in regard to the programme and potential survivor activity and the investigation of the survivability of the [REDACTED] project. It is a multi-phase operational procedure with set parameters to meet the objectives of Operation: Phoenix Dawn after the failure of Operation: Shattered Aegis

Phase I

The first phase of the programme is a uniformed operation where material from the Hazardous Locker will be taken to Research Institute Borealis to determine if the “Red Storm” (see files on “Reactor Emission Control”) originated from the reactor present inside of the building and confirm the origin of these “nuclear emissions”, note: local population believes the Borealis machine to be some sort of thermal coil or thermal reactor as opposed to nuclear. Information should be verified before the completion of this phase.

[PHASE I COMPLETE]

Phase II

The second phase of the programme is the restoration of power (temporarily) to the Black Site Solitude in Kazakhstan to examine the on-site machinery and obtain knowledge about Research Institute Borealis. Both facilities will also be tested for radiological contamination and such, as well as the computer data acquired from both Research Institute Borealis and Black Site Solitude will be examined at these locations if possible. Both facilities will need to be placed under armed guard while this examination is under way, under no circumstances should the local population be able to interfere with the investigation as it has been made clear they cannot be trusted with the information gained from it.

[PHASE II UNDERWAY]

Phase III

The third phase is the investigation of Black Site Solitude, currently covered by an SH-4 spore cloud. This will require a full CBRN equipped team to enter the contaminated zone and investigate the material present within. Preliminary scans indicate there are buildings present within the spore cloud but the density of the cloud itself prevents our IR optics from penetrating it thus rendering us completely blind to what is inside.

Phase IV

The fourth phase is to investigate Black Site Blackwood in Montana and determine if its expeditionary team is still alive, if so, the immediate capture and exploitation of their resources and personnel. It is confirmed that this organization was in possession of working aircraft within the past 9 months, thus it is probable that they have immense collections of information regarding the history of the island and possible knowledge of the unexpected anomalies and mutated specimens located here.

Phase V

The fifth, and final, phase of the “Aurora” programme is to investigate the disappearance of equipment at the Research Institute Azovka in Jaroslav, Russia. Various pieces of machinery, even those part of the foundation, were disassembled and removed prior to the first Investigations into the “Athena” programme. Although it is possible that this will be impossible to determine.
