Dislinked IC

Eli's managed to confirm intel provided by Bishop, so we're reasonably confident there are nine planes we can salvage from abandoned bases that are all within reasonable distances.

Fresh birds for the flock? I hear you ask. Yes! Except we're not entirely sure how fresh, which means I'm going to need pilots and engineers to fly out to assess and, with any luck, bring them back home. Additionally, I will need to borrow some of you lovely Espio and Ground Force types to take us out in those dreamy Blackbirds and to remain on standby as we scope out the jets.

Mission specs:

MONDAY, 07:00. de Vries + Olshanskaya +1 pilot + Wijk + Dawson (pending confirmation). Destination: Naha airbase. Target: 3 x F-15s.

TUESDAY, 07:00. Sinclair + Hyun + 1 pilot + 1 Engineer + Aldana Gutiérrez. Destination: Misawa airbase. Target: 1 x F-15, 2 x F-2s.

WEDNESDAY, 07:00. Thomas + 2 pilots + 1 Engineer + 1 Ground Force. Destination: Guam airbase. Target: 3 x Gripens.

Factsheets on plane specs will be distributed later today. Read them, learn them, memorise them.

Appreciate it's a tight schedule, but those aliens aren't waiting for it to be convenient for us. Don't all volunteer at once.

This evening, at 18:42, Singh discovered one of the Neuroclast subjects in Espionage HQ Sector B. E Watson was aprehended and remanded to the Memory Cradle for interrogation. You can read the incident report here.

Through use of the Fracture Garden, Novak discovered that Watson was a sleeper agent who activated once onboard Mnemosyne. To be clear, this was a targeted, remote triggered agent. Initial screening to bring her aboard did not raise any flags and it is my belief that this could not have been detected beforehand.

Arguably more importantly, Novak uncovered the following information:

• Two node locations: Vuelta Grande, Guatemala and Inhaca, Mozambique

• The names of three other sleeper agents

• The location of an Antarctic bunker. The bunker is believed to contain plans for something unknown that the Architects do not want us to get our hands on. Our disruption of Xitang has intensified their determination.

We'll be launching an immediate investigation into this bunker. Schade, Finotti: you'll be handing off your Sighișoara assignment and deploying on this instead. Hache, Murphy, and Wijk: you'll be accompanying them. Your objective is to retrieve whatever is in that bunker.

Novak, Bhandari, Rojo: you'll be walking the other Neuroclast subjects through the Garden. I don't want any other surprises from them.

NOVAK, SINGH.

Good work.
