Situation

At 09:30 hours on the 17th of August, 2021, perimeter security of Site 232 spotted movement to the direct East of the main entrance. The movement was soon revealed to be an envoy for a nearby Knights Templar staging area, setup with the sole intent of raiding Site 232. The envoy had been sent to deliver an ultimatum to the Site, hand over several anomalous items or be attacked. An audio transcript of the ultimatum is available below:

Origin of Transcript: Front Gate, Above Ground Compound, Site 232

 

Individuals Recorded: Unidentified Templar Envoy, Officer Liam Soule and Senior Officer Patrick Secunda

[BEGIN LOG]

 

Senior Officer Secunda: Identify yourself immediately or we will open fire!

 

[Unidentified Envoy]: Do not fire! Things will not go well for either of us if you do. I come bearing a message, if you will listen.

 

Senior Officer Secunda: I don't know how the fuck or why the fuck you are out here, but sure. What is your message?

 

[Unidentified Envoy]: I come here as an envoy for the Holy Order of the Knights Templar, Reformed. It has come to our attention that artifacts of great importance are present within this facility, of which we are the rightful guardians of. As such, we have come to this desolate island and established ourselves in preparation to take back these items by force! However, force will only be used if we are forced. Should you agree to the following terms, there will be no bloodshed.

 

Senior Officer Secunda: What are the terms? 

 

Officer Liam Soule: This fucking guy, what is this? The renaissance?

 

Senior Officer Secunda: Shut the fuck up Soule!

 

Senior Officer Secunda: What are the terms? 

 

[Unidentified Envoy]: You have two peaceful options. On me I have a tablet with a list and photographs of each individual item, you can take this list and gather up all of the items and place them safely outside the front gate and allow us to take them or you can open the gate and allow one of our teams to enter the facility and retrieve the items. You have twelve hours to comply.

 

Senior Officer Secunda: Soule, get the Site director. RIGHT NOW!

 

Officer Liam Soule: Yes sir!

The tablet provided had a list provided on the notes section of the device, notibly the device was infact a Samsung phone and not a tablet. Thorough scans through the device reveal nothing of note beyond the factory default applications. A screenshot of the note is provided below:

Within 20 minutes of receiving the ultimatum, Site Director Hamilton contacted nearby Site 231 for assistance. However, all combat units of our Task Force were either occupied elsewhere or as you are well aware, currently undergoing post-engram recovery. As such Site 232 put out an emergency call for any and all assistance, obviously not being willing to negotiate or give in to the Templar forces. Armed Rapid Response Task Force Xi-13 responded to the call and deployed to Zone 51 and immediately setup a defensive line between Site 232 and the Templar staging area. At 22:07, Xi-13 took contact from approximately 80 men from the Caliburn Security Services Company, led by a group of 4 'Knights' clad in powered combat armor. 

Fighting between Xi-13 and the Templar assault group lasted until 03:20 the next day. With Xi-13 sustaining 60% casualties but inflicting nearly 100% casualities on the assault party, leaving only a single knight to flee.
