Operation Enigma
Operation Enigma
Written by TFSO Ryker
[SEC=LEVEL 2] MOBILE TASK FORCE OPERATIVES WITH LEVEL 4 SECURITY CLEARANCE MAY REQUEST UNREDACTED INFORMATION DIRECT FROM O4 COUNCIL.
Situation
Excuse the informality of this briefing gentlemen but I have a fire lit under by arse by a very anxious O4.
For several months now highly coordinated and well executed strikes against secure sites have been plaguing the Foundation across the globe. So far three sites have been massacred to the last man and two more have suffered ~75% loss of site staff. These sites have primarily been lightly defended and relatively unimportant facilities, except for the most recently attacked one. Initially it was theorized that the attacks were being coordinated by the Chaos Insurgency, however while the Chaos Insurgency does, in general, desire the destruction of the Foundation; so far none of the attacks have resulted in a loss of any artifacts or technology.
It appears as though the only goal of the attackers is to eliminate foundation personnel. Ultimately these attacks are of no consequence as it is easy enough to replace people and has no impact on the overall operational status of the Foundation. It has however piqued the curiosity of the O4 council who believe something more is potentially at play here than a simple desire to terminate as many scientists and janitors as possible.
Until a few hours ago we had little more than surveilance images of the attackers, but a four man intelligence team has been following the situation since it became a concern and have been attempting to gather something of substance to bring to command. Their attempts have finally begun to bear fruit, having intercepted several abnormal sattelite phone calls from a location in Kimmirut, a remote area in North East Canada. A small facility dedicated to reasearching still water victims is located suspiciously close to the origin of these calls.
The content of these calls are of little use due to the usage of a currently untranslated code language, with much of the calls being entirely nonsensical but spoken in deliberate tones - suggesting intentional usage of code language. The calls did however provide an opportunity to triangulate a position. Which is where we come in.
O4 has given us the task of exploiting this intelligence as rapidly as possible, idealy within the week. Due to your recent return from Africa and no active tasking as of now, I am assigning Detachment one the mission.
Mission
Operation Enigma's mission goal is to locate, identify and destroy all involved in an ongoing, coodinated effort to undermine and damage foundation operations. This will be a combined operation between Mobile Task Force Tau-44 and Task Force Enigma, a 4 man human intelligence team.
TF Enigma has identified two target locations in Kimmirut, designated Compound South and Compound East. You are tasked with killing or capturing everyone within these locations and attempting to gather further intelligence on any additional cells, motive and origin of the attackers.
Both compounds are heavily guarded and defended by AA emplacements littered throughout the hills around them. Additionally horseback patrols of 8-10 men have been noted throughout the region, with reconaisance groups setting up across the water from Sheer Test Site to frequently spy on it from a distance.
Administration/Logistics
- Rules of Engagement:
- Universal ROE
-
- Depending on the duration of the operation a secure location may need to be established until extraction can be organised.
- N/A, no reinforcement will be possible.

Situation
Your mission was ultimately a success, we did not learn much if anything other than the capabilities of who we are up against. It is obvious that there is more at play here than meets the eye. AsIf Iit amwas surenot you are now aware,obvious, you came into contact with what we assume to be a type green coordinating with what proved to be a well coordinated and aggressive force - but you made it out mostly in one piece.
Until Taskforce Enigma comes up with something we are at a loss and currently have no further leads. However right now none of that matters as one of our own is currently being held captive.
As I am sure you are aware, Pilgrim went missing close to extraction and was spotted being loaded into a helicopter. That helicopter was tracked to a location nearby where we believe he was then loaded into a different aircraft before then being flown to a remote location in Western Greenland. His tracker, which suspiciously was never turned off, led us to a location high in the mountains at which point we lost connection to the tracker. We suspect that he was likely taken into a subterranean area.
Around the time of extraction all radio nets, including ours back at home were flooded by a message, very clearly intended to taunt us. That paired with the unexplained capture of Pilgrim leads us to believe that you are likely walking into a trap, but we look after our own.
