A notes
Al Mazrah Shipping Intel

Documents logging the ingoing and outgoing cargo shipments of Al Mazrah. There's a series of documents recording shipments from over 10 years ago, and then a series of documents from the past 5 years. In many shipments to and from Mexico and Russia, the total recorded cargo is light for the size of the ship being used. A series of Russian ships from 14 years ago are recorded to have sunken without definite cause.



Al-Qatala Note

Black Mous seems to have taken an interest in our research. For some privacy I hide the drill elsewhere but ideally we need to dispose of it soon. I left a better description for its location in another hidden container. I got the new recruits to bury it off the coast near the Sawah Village. They probably got lazy and just threw it off the park's cliffs.



Al-Qatala Note

To stay under the radar, the drill's not far from where we left the boat. I buried it in a container on the east side of the river close to that dock in Taraq. You'll find it under the electric pylon.



Al-Qatala Train Cargo Manifest

A list of cargo being transported via the Urzikstan railway by Al-Qatala. It claims to contain industrial mechanical parts, explosive chemicals, poppy seeds, and fertilizer. It seems to be front for illegal contraband smuggling where the northern railways allow AQ to distribute weapons and drugs to Europe and South Asia.



Al Qatala Command Notes

[In Arabic]

1. Meet the Mexicans at the port.
2. Get a good deal for C4 and Kastovs. (Use oil as leverage if needed)
3. Accompany them to the bunker entrance
4. Get inside and find the objective



Alpha cluster 1

It's not surprising that the Soviets were storing all sorts of data, like they always did, but it's hard to imagine how much space it takes to accommodate all the equipment in use. This place, the so-called Alpha Cluster, is so large that it feels like a mining farm filled with data tapes.



Alpha cluster 2

To make it more mysterious, some rooms in the Alpha Cluster have been on lock since the day we arrived. Maybe it's the Soviets who did this, but who knows? What secrets were they hiding behind those walls?



Architect's note

Perfectly Handwritten Note

The work here is almost complete. We are working on the final stages.

Seismic readings will help us pinpoint the location of the bunker...and they will all think we just wanted to destroy the train tracks. Fools.

If you find this note, you know where I went.



Area report

Handwritten Note

Suspicious individuals have been lurking around underground areas. KEEP THESE TUNNELS CLEAR! Not even local maintenance. Waterways are valuable routes and must remain locked down. Set up equipment for monitoring if needed, just do your damn jobs.



Ashika Island intel

Information regarding the general geography and history of Ashika Island. A large amount of the documents are focused on the science center and many printed articles about the lab directors and their funding. There's old news stories of a mysterious disease spreading amongst the population of the island.



Ashika Research Documents

Research discussing the studies of and various treatments to Russian gas poisoning. There was a large surge in locals reporting similar symptoms: feeling burning in the lungs and extreme fatigue. It was concluded that the gas acts on the pulmonary capillaries and eventually restricts blood oxidation anywhere from mild to lethal levels. Patients were reported to not recover from exposure for multiple years. In the most extreme cases, civilians experience hypoxia-induced brain damage.



Assault plan

[In Russian]
Once we're able to open up the target, our team needs to set security around the site's south side while evac teams extract the sensitive objective inside. Anticipate Shadow Company interference. There's no retreating from this critical objective.

Access Cards

Professor, can we try to get more access cards for the whole team?

Each time when we need something from those locked rooms, it's always frustrating to make official requests that usually takes forever.



B21 Accident Report

Accident Report
SEP 09, 2019

There was a blast in the Side Lab this morning, causing potential gas leaks. All the security doors automatically sealed, but some staff members are hurt. The wounded have been sent to the hospital for physical examination.



B21 Complaint Letter

Complaint Letter
AUG 30, 2019

The garage is too dark! I almost fell to the ground yesterday, and it's nearly impossible to find anything.

I can't imagine what would happen if we keep it that way.

B21 Container Note

Printed Document

Top Secret: Building 21 contents in this container are to be opened only by authorized personnel with the proper protection.

Fragile: If contents are disturbed, containers could break. Chemicals are not to be mixed under any circumstances.

Warning: Direct contact with contained substances should be done with extreme caution.



B21 Elevators

Elevators

Steve,

To use elevators in the facility, you need higher security permissions.

I know it might be inconvenient to move around here sometimes, but the DRC is a highly classified place with restricted areas, and I hope you understand that this is mainly out of safety concerns.

B21 Equipment Handling

Precision Equipment Handling
MAR 19, 2020

Please make sure your crew takes extreme caution when handling the precision equipment. There's an accident caused by improper operation recently. We cannot afford any further loss.



B21 ot Food Request

OT Food Request

Could we provide more food to employees who work overtime?

Seems that we have a pretty nice restaurant, but it's closing way too early.



B21 Shipment Details

Shipment Ready NOV 05, 2020

This should be the last shipment to <redacted> this month.

Make sure you have the right treatment and make deliveries ASAP.



Barracks 1

Note from a Soldier

This place looks like a living accommodation for military personnel, back at the time when it was functional. What were the Soviets doing down here, over 100 feet underground? Why do they need such a large number of soldiers?



Barracks 2

Note from a Soldier

It's been a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ since someone blew a hole in the ceiling, then water leaked in and flooded the entire area. God knows how toxic the water could be! Honestly, I'm willing to trade anything for a chance to get out of here.



Black Mous Intel

Black Mous Intel Documents

This folder holds classified documents containing computer records and transactions between Rohan Oil and Black Mous.

One document lists coordinates that are most likely meeting spots or possibly dead drops. This highly sensitive information looks very much like it was not meant for public consumption.



Bombmaker's request

I have used up many of the supplies on Ashika and will need more items as soon as you can. If things are going to proceed, I need the following:

<list of chemicals and electronic equipment>

Do not skip a single item. Place them in this secure box and lock it for the flight back. Use this cash for your purchases. Keep the rest.



Building 21 Intel

K, we think we finally have found a substance worthy of your objective. The <REDACTED> gas has detrimental short-term effects on the lungs, inducing hypoxia within a minute of mild contact. The compound is able to be produced in mass quantities easily, so I'd like to act quickly. I suspect there's a possible antidote too, but I still need to pinpoint exactly the mechanism it acts on the hemoglobin.
If it is of your convenience I would be happy to have you visit the DRC again and we'll setup a demonstration. I can say with confidence that you'll be impressed.
- Michal



Building 21 Intel

We've received the package and it is exactly as you promised. Our experiments have already begun and already we're seeing a 26% decrease in damage on the subjects protein structures and DNA. Unfortunately on the surface we haven't been able to prevent the burning but it's looking hopeful.

Not that it's my place, but I'm worried this leads back to us, and ultimately back to my lab. I trust your judgement but those imbeciles don't know a thing about <REDACTED>. One slip up and the eyes of every nation will be on your group.

- Michal



Building 21 Intel

We hope the additional funds are enough for the new Core Lab. I know Michal you have been good with these things in the past but this is critically important. Urzikstan is already being overrun by the western groups and time is limited. AQ hasn't kept their end of the bargain well and I've had enough of dealing with their leadership. It's not better in the East either. Our old accident has alerted a certain Shadow Company and we must clean and leave no traces. I entrust that you know the stakes.

- Konni



Bunker Safe Note

[In Russian]
And so it is official. We will build the DRC based on the success of the DRD and its success in chemical weaponry. We must keep this highly confidential. Especially Building 21 and what we intend to do with it.

Captured 1: Scribbled Note

Scribbled Note
I'm holed up in this tiny room and I can hear them all around me. I'm almost out of ammo and I think they know it. This might be my last message ever.

Please, if anyone find this...please tell my wife and son I love them.



Captured 2: Journal Entry

Journal Entry

Subject: Western fighter

Condition: Weakened from many hours of interrogation.

Notes: Keep pressing him for information about western forces arriving at the warzone. Will need to move him soon.



Captured 3: Journal Entry

Subject: Western fighter

Condition: Remains weakened, but also vigilant.

Notes: Fighter mentions something about an invasion. Unsure if he is delirious or speaking of something even bigger than a ground war. We need to move him again.



Captured 4: Scribbled Note

Scribbled Note

Passing lies. They know nothing. Rumors of an oasis HQ to the north. I will be moved there soon.

Cargo Ship Instructions

[In Russian]
The ship is set to arrive at night from Vondel. It's not officially meant to dock so it'll instead anchor down near the airport where we'll be able to take the cargo off easily. Make sure that area is secured.



Cartel Deal Notes 1

Logbook

First meeting with the new seller went as well as can be expected. I think they can provide us what we want, but I am still not sure this arrangement doesn't come without problems.

We've discussed the use of the north runway for deliveries. It will attract less attention until we fully control the airport. They are very familiar with small plane deliveries of sensitive cargo.

We should move forward with a more formal meeting with the elders.

Code: 7 9 8 1



Cartel Deal Notes 2

Scrawled Note

Las Almas offering more weapons than that tiny runway can handle. Damn it.

Need to use Al Malik for deliveries.

At least plenty of storage here.

Move soldiers to the main terminal to make sure we are secure.

Authorization: Rebel 19



Cartel Deal Notes 3

Shipment Logbook

Received first test shipment @ 0400 under cover of darkness. Worked well, but is not necessary.

Shipment manifest accounted for. We can handle more weapons than this.

Moving shipment to more secure location for further inspection.



Cartel Deal Notes 4

Scrawled Note

Shipment arrived safely, but I think some pieces went missing.

Need to interrogate everyone involved in the transfer.

The thief must be caught and punished.

Need to move the shipment again, but quietly.



Cartel Deal Notes 5

Talking Points for a Meeting

-Relationship that will be of great benefit for both of us.

-Find thief and deal with them swiftly

-Increase deliveries ASAP (no need for night drops)

-Discuss larger arms... the heavy stuff.



Cartel Dossier 1

From S.C. Phantom 5-2:

Day 3:

We've been keeping watch of all incoming and outgoing shipments. Mostly cartel, Dutch and Russian ships. We've procured their manifests. Primarily explosives, weapons, money laundering, and narcotics. Day 4: Al-Qatala is taking the cartel up north. Again that damned bunker keeps being talked about. We're moving in to continue reconnaissance.



Cartel Recon Report

CARTEL RECON REPORT
To: S.C. HQ
From: S.C. Phantom 5-2

Day 1:
Las Almas has just arrived at the Hafid Port from a cargo ship. They seem to be allied with AQ forces. They unloaded 20 large wooden boxes containing Kastovs. Al-Qatala handed over payment in the form of U.S dollars.

Day 2:
Our initial drones recorded word of Russian bunkers. They were talking about an entrance to it that dug straight into the Defense Research Division. Current working theory is that it's somehow connected to the DRC, but this bunker isn't on any of our intel.



Cartel Transportation Job

[In Russian]

We'll need to rendezvous with the cartel to transfer the gas. From there they'll take it to the target destination. For now let's designate the safe house as the meeting location. Discretion is of utmost importance.

Chemical Plant 1

Chemical Plant

Not sure where that complaint is coming from. The power supply has not been fully restored in the Chemical Plant, and that's why the whole area is so dark. I'm fully aware of the inconvenience caused by this, but do they have any idea how much electricity is needed to operate a facility of this magnitude?

All I'm asking is a bit of patience until the problem is handled. As a backup, all the units in the dark have been equipped with flashlights or NVGS.



Chemical Plant 2

The Key

Someone left the key to Factory Admin on the floor of the Chemical Plant. Please come and retrieve it ASAP.

Chemical Plant 3

Find the Key

Someone left the key to Factory Admin in the door again. I bet it must be George! That blockhead has done such things multiple times. Find the other key in the Chemical Plant. It must be somewhere around there.

Chemist 1: Arrival

Scrawled Reporter's Notes

Radio chatter of some rogue AQ scientist in the area.

Could this be the operative known as "The Chemist"??

...rumor was he died in one of his experiments?

Source X gave me the address for his lab, home...something.

Need to investigate. Need to be careful.



Chemist 2: Journal

Meticulously Written Journal

Entry 1:

They do not understand me. They do not understand what this can do.
They think this is a game, but it is not. I am so close to understanding how it expands. How it spreads.

I am going to ask for formal authorization to run my experiments.

Entry 4:

My inquiry was rejected. I need to take matters into my own hands.
I am recruiting a group to help me. We will go into the radiation ourselves.

I need to run some more tests in the old lab to make sure we are on the right track.

Entry 5:

Code: 1921BRN + 7SLN9 (make sure to wait 10 seconds)



Chemist 3: Journal

Meticulously Written Journal

Entry 10:
Ambient air here is perfect for this test today. Administering micro dose again.

Lack of available test subject is troubling. Need to consider other options.

Entry 11:
I have decided to administer the micro dose to myself. Exposure via micro dose is perfect for this. I may even be able to build up a temporary immunity. Further experiments are required.



Chemist 4: Journal

Sloppy Journal Scrap

Entry 15:

Some of the others asked me to leave. How dare... <illegible>..when this close.

<illegible> has been painful and...<illegible> ...going to have to consider going inside.

Entry 16:

<illegible> have given me some loyal followers and guards. They will be protecting my work in the <illegible>.

I have some amazing news to report, but can't remain here. Need to move towards Al-Safwa Quarry.



Chemist 5: Madness

Journal of a Mad Man

Final Entry:
<illegible> my completed first assessment of the anomaly in its entirety. <illegible> and I will be moving out soon directly into the beast for an all-new experiment. So far, every attempt to contain the anomaly has failed and lead to death. Furthermore, <illegible> and I don't expect to come back, so I am leaving these notes behind for someone else to find. I have also sent a duplicate copy on a thumb drive to the appropriate person.

Remember MoD3S - 77

Observing Al Mazrah from long range. Target arrival confirmed.

Target observed moving through Taraq, so this location no longer viable.

Going to explore the Pass for any clues.

Entry 7:
Both targets spotted at restaurant. Swirling winds off the water caused me to miss my shot. Waiting...

They are headed this way. Leaving some of my gear behind so I can move faster. Going to make a break for the safe house 3. Engaging Evacuation Protocol 27.



Covert Ops 5

Scribbled Notes

Entry 8:
Arrived at safe house, but think I was followed. Need to lay low here for a couple of days. Shutting down all electronics so I can't be tracked. If you find this, I am probably already compromised and captured and Protocol 27 has failed.



Crown Intel

These documents don't reveal much. There is official documentation of Crown's legitimacy as a business and organization within the UK. There are trade reports of their involvement with various international entities, with a high concentration in Europe, Africa, and East Asia. Their listed work and employment seems thoroughly detailed though there's a surprising amount of revenue and cash flow for the work they do.

DRC Security 1

Data Center Attack
SEP 26, 2019

Hi all,

There are multiple new security employees that are not on any approved/vetted list, yet they're getting priority clearance without looping us in. All DRC employees MUST be cleared by IT before accessing restricted areas.

With the unusual amount of attack to the servers lately, security is our top priority.
If you have any problems, do not hesitate to reach out to the security team for support.

DRC Security 2

Facility Access Card Policy
SEP 30, 2019

Hi all,

Our team has received several reports on missing access cards this month.

Here's a reminder that no access card should be brought out of the facility or borrowed to others according to our policies.

All access cards are important assets of the DRC, and anyone who lost one will have to file a report to explain what happened.

-DRC Security



DRC Security 3

Security Locks Upgrade
JAN 04, 2020

Team,

I'm sure some of you have heard about the new LPCON - ECHO...

We've been asked to take certain measures given the new security protocol:

- Today we've completed a sensor upgrade to all the doors among High Security Areas. As a result, no personnel would be able to enter those restricted areas without granted permissions.

- In the event of an LPCon Echo, all system files will be erased.

Please keep this to yourselves, as we don't want employees making personal copies of any files.

If anyone has any questions/concerns, my door is always open.

Thanks,

-DRC Security



Driver's notes

I don't know who it was, they weren't AQ, they sounded like they were speaking Russian. And the equipment they were using I know I haven't seen anything like that. I received the package from the drop off point in the sunken village. I was driving the package through Sarrif Bay and no the AQ guards didn't seem suspicious of me.

Nearing the bridge to Ahkdar shots were fired rapidly at my car. They didn't stop even when I announced that I was a civilian.

I got away leaving the car and package behind. I ran back to Sarrif Bay and met the AQ members who heard the shots. By the time they ran over to the attack site the shooters were gone and the car was destroyed, package included.
E notes
Extraction protocol

Now that we've gathered all the data we can, our job is to move all sensitive data to secure hard drives to transport to HQ immediately. Remember shadows, Konni's going to watching us to blast a hole through any transport exiting this compound. Use the tunnels underneath the DRC to load up the armored truck at Building 1. Good luck out there.

Factory Defense 1

Reinforcement Sent

Reports have been filed on disturbances that happened in the Factory Wing occasionally. We've got reasonable suspicion of smuggling, or some sort of resistance organized by locals.

A group of reinforcements, led by two expert commanders, has been dispatched to the Factory Wing. The Rhinoceros, one of the aces in close-quarters combat, used to be the bodyguard of a senior officer for years. The Sniper, a silent killer, can instantly take down targets from miles away. With these guys guarding the area, the Weapon Case stored there should be safe.



Factory Defense 2

Operation W

The objective is to protect the assets in the Factory Wing Secure Room.

Be prepared for armed resistance you may encounter. Remove all threats if necessary.

A response team will follow your lead. The Sniper will provide fire support.

Call reinforcement if things go south.



Factory Defense 3

Operation W

Get into the hideout on the high ground. Spotter and ammunition are all set.
Eliminate any target entering the Factory Wing.

Use emergency access as the escape route once your position is exposed.



Fake al-Qatala Documents

Documents discussing AQ's involvement in the Ashika and Al Mazrah cargo ships and how they were used for trafficking drugs to the cartel and throughout East Asia.



False gas research notes

The animals seem to have ingested some dangerous poison, though the exact nature of it is unknown. More research will need to be done here.



Family Escape 1

Handwritten Note

Family,
It's time to leave. Al Qatala forces are moving in so fast that I fear for our lives. I fear we are on the verge of all being told to evacuate anyway so let's get ahead of this.

I will be heading out immediately to gather my belonging at meet at the place we said we would if it ever came to this. I've left some stuff around here. Please take what you need and get moving.

Rajah,

My family is leaving here as soon as we can. I am not sure when we will return, if ever. I've gathered my belongings and left some other items behind. If there's anything you want, please feel free to take it and make sure you lock the shop up tight when you go.

Travel safely. Hope to see you again some day.

Family Escape 4

Quickly Scrawled Written Note

Dabir,

I came as quickly as I could. My phone died and I can't get back into downtown Al Mazrah without being detained. I thought you might head here, but clearly you haven't been here in some time.

I'm going to try to make it to the East. I'm going to stay off the roads as much as I can. I hope to see you soon.

-Hasina



Family Escape 5

Handwritten Note

Hasina, we waited as long as we could. I am so sorry. Our escort is here and they are already threatening to leave.

I have left supplies around the shop. They are all for you. Be safe and I hope you and Dabir can meet up again some day. No one expected this day would come so soon.

To anyone else who finds this, please take whatever you find in my shop if you need it to survive. We all much stick together...

Ichika's Journey 1

Journal Entry

As I sit and ponder the recent events, I can't help but think the soldiers have awoken something in the island.

The masks literally feel off the wall yesterday and fell into my bag. I think the island spirits are trying to tell me it's time to leave and they want me to help them.

A thick fog has rolled in over the last few days and strange ships have arrived to take some of us off the island. I think I am going take the masks with me.

-Ichika



Ichika's Journey 2

Journal Entry

Something has attacked the ships and we are now drifting back to the island and slowly sinking. The groaning noises from the ship's hull sound like a monster...or maybe it IS a monster.

The island won't let us leave. I'm pondering jumping in the water with the masks in my bag...yes, that IS what I am doing. The masks are compelling me to make a swim for it.

Here we go...

Insipring Speech

Handwritten Note

The Vondel Lions are a pride, I don't have to tell you all that. We have pride in our city, and the city takes pride in us. And even though the skies have seemed a little darker lately, with armored ghouls haunting the streets, we can be a bright spot for the people. Some were asking me if we'd even be allowed to set up the field, and you know what I said? Try to stop us. This is OUR HOUSE! Lock the doors and we'll climb the walls! If they want to stop the match, they'll have to pull us off the field! We will play, we will WIN, and we will remind this city how much they have to be proud of. WE'RE THE LIONS! LET'S BE VONDEL'S PRIDE!



Instructions

We killed the hired courier to deliver this confidential message. Our leaders are interested in working for the Konni Group, but I know what happens to those poor bastards. We're gonna give them what they want. First step is to masquerade as Konni. My squadron tracked a civilian taking a laptop from a dead drop, delivering it to the Ashika Island Hotel. We found him dead a day later and I have no doubt as to who's handiwork it was.

Locate Konni Laptop and dead drop it here.
Dead drop a Building 21 keycard here as well.

Voice record of a security officer.

...Please read your DRC Employee Handbook to learn about our Lab Protection Conditions (LPCON).

LPCON is a system of recommended preventive actions and responses to hostile adversaries...
...It sets the LPCON level at Normal, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta.

Higher LPCON levels will be applied when an increased or more predictable threat exists in the facility...

Introduced the LPCON levels in the facility to all new employees during the security training program. We get a lot of former-military types here, but something's different about these fellas. Look and talk like SF?

Found it concerning they wouldn't take the LPCON levels seriously. They thought the DRC is well protected, and there's no such thing as a real threat.

I really hope they were right.

I would never believe this if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.

Beyond LPCON Delta, they are prepared to kill EVERYONE if things go bad. Even I...cannot escape.

Everything makes sense now. No wonder the Armory Room is always locked and guarded by the security crew. The rumor that large amounts of lethal weapons are stored there must be true.

Move fast. No chance to escape if LPCON ECHO is really applied. The whole facility will be locked, with gas spreading everywhere. The reaction team could easily eliminate anyone who's exposed.

Remember to stay low. It's safe to use elevators. They would be running on backup power. Gas Masks should be there.

We've negotiated with them for a better price for the Kastovs, but I'm getting worried about their interest in the drugs and the oil.

I just ask for you to stay on guard around them.

My eternal flame of love,

I miss you terribly every moment we're apart. It's tragic that we must play such critical, yet separate roles in this time of need. But the people depend on us, and we must both be heroes in our own way. No matter what happens to me or this city, I will always take care of you. Never forget that you hold the key to my heart... and my briefcase.

Operator X,

Deep Dive is approaching its final preparations. This briefcase contains data that may be helpful once inside. You know what the key is for.

As discussed, you will need to move in ahead of the General. He is impatient and wants this to look like it was all his doing. Make me proud and you will be rewarded.

ATTENTION:

I've been informed that city access is being restricted, and as such, today's passing cruise will be the last one for the foreseeable future. While this is unfortunate, clearly the specialists brought in to handle the situation have deemed this necessary. We will discuss more details in a meeting at eleven and be answering any questions.

Medical Documents

Documents containing studies and reports of various radiation poisoning cases. Arabic notes are scribbled across many of the pages. Some pages are from studies from the DRC. Some pages are clearly poor translations. Many are of attempts to block or even cure the effects of high-exposure radiation poisoning.



Medical Journal 1

Medical Journal Entry 1:
MAR 04, 2020

..Since the accident on Floor 3 this morning, patients have experienced symptoms including: loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and even seizures and coma.

One of the security guards is still in critical condition. We had to sedate him after he started screaming at us in Russian. Will have to add delirium to the list of symptoms...

I've never seen anything like this before.

Entry 2:
MAR 11, 2020

To be honest, we don't have the necessary medical support for those patients. The only thing we can do is easing their pain.

However, we are not allowed to transfer them to the ER nearby. Only medical and security employees have access to the ICU. Guards are all over.

By the way, just out of nowhere, some of the patient's reports are missing somehow.



Medical Journal 3

Medical Journal Entry 3:
APR 04, 2020

Some members of our medical team have expressed further concerns about the long-term effects of radiation exposure.

What if another accident like that happens to us? What if it was not an accident?

Well, department leads ask us not to investigate it. Not even talk about it.

I can't do this any longer.

Office Memo 1

Emergency Response

In case of emergency, all access to the outside will be blocked, except for the elevators run by our allies on the ground. Read the following instructions for details:

- Call the elevator by pushing the button on the wall.

- Wait for a few seconds. The elevator should arrive shortly.

- Step inside and operate on the control panel. Be aware that the elevator has been programmed to leave automatically if there's no response.

Politican's Letter

Hello,
I now write to you since I know you have a way of getting things done. And I have a problem where I need things done. Suffice to say Al-Qatala has not been receptive of my proposal and they have broken our agreement to sell to the cartels.
Here's the deal. Take the pipeline back. That mean's the oilfields, the caves, and the port. SC gets 15%.



Power Supply

Power Supply

Due to the lack of power supply, the blast doors to the Chemical Plant can only be forced to open from the outside. However, we're not allowed to leave these doors open during operations, making it a pain in the rear for my guys to do their job.

If we can find a car battery and jumper cables to power up and activate the blast doors, it will save us a lot of trouble.



PR Report (page 8)

Printed Document

Social media analysis of citizen response to the peacekeepers concludes:
-Ninety percent of reactions are negative, with core themes being fear, oppression, confusion, and invasion. These are, of course, overreactions, but a notable percentage.
-Three percent actually feel safer, putting trust in our city leadership calling in such a specialized team to handle the situation, with themes of trust, precaution, and appreciation.
-Less than one percent are the usual conspiracy theories
-Less that one percent are online "memes" often criticizing the fashion sense of the peacekeepers, or depicting them enjoying the city's many tourist attractions. The latter may actually help soften the public perception!

Overall messaging from citizens does indicate one trend quite clearly: The people are looking for answers.

We will not be able to simply hand-wave the justification for such measures much longer. If we must continue to withhold any and all information regarding the chemical threats, we must make a clear and decisive course of action to legitimize the situation in the public perception. This could be a lockdown, or evacuation, or any recommendations from our new advisors.

We need to move on from the secretive, passive appearance from leadership. People love when leaders GET THINGS DONE! This is supported by the polling data found on page 15.




Pyro Intel

Yes we got a decent supply of C4 and plastic explosives from the Russians. Kastovs too. The job they requested of us was odd but nothing incredibly strange. But who cares that much about an old bunker? I can't say I trust them but they provide so we will take.

Note From Sailor to Captain

Captain, we found this in his bunk. The journal was damaged, but I transcribed what I could make out...

"This boat. This sea. I may never come back.

Once upon a time, two of us ate SEVEN whole loaves of bread and called it good.

...why does that banging never stop?

I think the captain wants me, Samum, locked up. I should make sure he doesn't find these notes.

They know it was me who started the fire. I can hear them coming down the hall.

They think they have me trapped. I may need to jump overboard...and off to Taraq."

Radiation Hazard 1

Defense Research Division

A large amount of radiation was detected when we first discovered this area. During the investigation, we found multiple radioactive nuclear materials, hidden in several locations. This lab, formally known as the Defense Research Division, was run by the Soviet military. It's most likely that the nuclear materials were left here by them when they evacuated from here for some reason.

These high-risk areas remain dangerous, as my hazmat crew is still cleaning up the site. It's not clear what purpose the Soviet's research had, so proceed with caution during any of your operations.

Sam,

I strongly recommend your staff to be equipped with gas masks or radiation blockers. This old facility has fallen into disrepair. When the radiation comes in from Al Mazrah, no one would be able to escape from it without proper protection.

Research Journal
Entry 1:
OCT 19, 2019

This is my first day at the DRC.

I can't be more excited to work as a Biochemistry specialist. The colleagues here are all top-tier scientists in this field.

It's a bit strange though - security here is more strict than other places. As soon as I entered the facility, security took my cellphone and other communication equipment for safety reasons. Network connection is highly restricted in the facility. It felt like working for the military instead of a Lab.

But anyways I must go through a series of training exercises designed for new employees. Hopefully I can get my hands on laboratory equipment soon.



Research Journal 2

Research Journal Entry 2:
JAN 30, 2020
The experiments here are quite suspicious.

I took a glance at the research journals the other day, and found these records...

"Subject 2-51 become unconscious after taking the 3rd dose within 24 hours.

Subject still in coma. Estimated to be incapacitated for another 6-8 hours.

Subject 2-51 gone. This is beyond maximum tolerance."

Are they testing on animals or humans? Is this why they have such a huge hospital in this building?



Research Journal 3

Research Journal Entry 3:
MAR 05, 2020

There was an accident on the third-floor last week. Rumor says it caused gas leak around that area, and quite a few people were sent to the ICU.

I talked with the victims. It turns out that the DRC has been shipping some of our test substance to Verdansk- and our security team is aware of the whole thing. Rumor is the DRC has military ties. We're supposed to be working on deterrents of war, not weapons of it. Why are they doing this?



Research Journal 4

Research Journal Entry 4:
MARCH 21, 2020

The DRC facility is completely cut off in connection with the outside world. We are not allowed to contact family or friends while we are here. We are not allowed to leave the facility either.

Security has become more aggressive with us. We see them moving weapons, vehicles - armored ones like the Army have. It's like they know something's coming and they're abandoning ship.

Maybe they are military... Army? Contractors? At least that would make more sense. But if something has them spooked, that doesn't bode well for the rest of us.

Researcher's Journal 1

Researcher's Journal Entry 1:

I was recommended to the Defense Research Division about a year ago, specializing in chemical toxicology. With a group of fellow scientists, I study the adverse effects of chemical substances on living organisms.

However, I don't quite understand what substance we've been experimenting on lately. There is no other molecular structure in toxics that is anything like this. Not only is it highly toxic, but it also produces a high degree of radiation. If it enters the human body through the respiratory system, it may cause a respiratory arrest or even suffocation in a very short time.



Researcher's Journal 2

Researcher's Journal
Entry 2:

I'd be lying if I said working at a research institute hidden in an underground bunker doesn't feel strange at all. The regulations here are extremely strict. Doors are on lock most of the time. Soldiers can be seen everywhere, guarding the entire facility. Contact with the outside can only be made through the External Ops.



Researcher's Journal 3

Researcher's Journal Entry 3:

Overheard a conversation between two soldiers when I was delivering test samples requested at the last minute. It was about those outsiders.

Normally, we only work inside the labs. It's the outsiders' job to do the dirty work such as transporting chemicals, and the maintenance of the Chemical Plant. They turned out to be prisoners interrogated by agents from the Information Extraction. They are forced to work long hours, without any protection. No wonder they always look so heartless and indifferent.

Such treatment is undeniably cruel, if not inhuman.

Security Notice

Printed Document

Hey Doc,

I know you aren't in here much these days but I wanted to let you know that someone broke into your room. Looked like an attempted robbery, but nothing was taken or messed up... Guess we're lucky so much is off-site! Maybe just don't come by after dark. The animals will need you when they come back!



Sergei's Journal 1

Entry 1

My name is Sergei. This is my story.

I started my career at the Laboratory of Electrical Systems, under the direction of the Academy of Science. Back at the time, ideological limitations were loosened and a new hope for cybernetics has just been built.

As a young mathematician working on complex analysis and differential equations, I devoted myself to the cause of numerical computation. I could never imagine that one day, my life would be completely changed by intelligent systems.



Sergei's Journal 2

Entry 2

Together with a group of scientists and engineers, I was sent to this bunker to conduct a secret program. Not until we arrived did we realize that the job was to develop the most advanced computer in the USSR and in the world.

This machine would be powered by a new intelligent system, taking advantage of algorithms the world had never heard of. Unlike Kaissa, the chess-playing program, it could perform larger-scale computation and handle more complex tasks.

As the operation of this system would generate a huge amount of data, countless computing and storage units were built inside Alpha Cluster.



Sergei's Journal 3

Entry 3

We've got promising results from the development of the supercomputer. It has way higher performance than the previous model, but occupies 6 times less area, and consumes 8 times less electricity power.

With the help of the newly designed intelligent system, it can assist in computation with unprecedented efficiency. It can be applied to a variety of disciplines, such as rocket science and aerospace industry.

Since it's so advanced, compared to its predecessors, we decided to name it M-550.



Sergei's Journal 4

Entry 4

The government has decided to abandon the development of original computer designs, including our program. The laboratory will be permanently closed in the near future.

I don't think they understand the value of our research. With the M-550, we could easily catch up with the West in the race of computation technology. It could have changed the world!



Sergei's Journal 5

Entry 5

After protests against the decision have failed, I have to find another way.

I saved a copy of the algorithm that was ordered to be deleted, and stored the data in a safe place. I scrabbled on the walls with radiation, leaving marks that lead to the safe room.

If someone could ever discover them, hopefully they may unravel the secrets, and let M-550 live again. This is the least I can do.

Shadow Company Deal Documents

Here's the updated deal. All of Al Mazrah for 25% of the value of the oil. Accounting for say, 2.500 shadows, that's brings us to still hundreds of thousands of dollars per day in operational profits. Of course that will take time so we negotiated a deal. We receive an initial payment of $500,000 for the funding of our new base outside Al Mazrah. Then we work on just the core locations for the pipeline for only 5% with another 5% for paying off that initial payment. After the rest is under control then it goes from 15% increasing with interest until 25% after 3 years.

Vondel Gas research notes

I've looked over the cases of the Russian gas inhalation. It seems the Russian gas that was first used on that Japanese island has an even more potent form. Or at least some other substance acts as a catalyst to the gas increasing the potential injury it causes and causing the gas to attack the lungs in much shorter time spans. The animals that somehow ingested the dissolved gas were harmed much more than my calculations predict. And I have a hunch as to what the catalyst is.
