ASSIGNMENT: BEYONDER
DATE: 199█-██-██
LOCATION: PINE GROVE COMPLEX
STATUS: CLASSIFIED

32 hours ago the PINE GROVE COMPLEX was sabotaged and sealed from the inside, severing all lines of communication and ██████████.

FROM THE BUREAU’S PROCEDURES & PROTOCOLS MANUAL
SECTION 5: BUREAU UNITS


Elite BUREAU UNITS are tasked with immediate deployment in high-stakes scenarios involving ██████████. These units are trained to handle breaches of ██████████ containment, manage crises of ██████, negotiate during ██████████ possession incidents, and conduct anomalous investigative analysis. All units specialize in the use of advanced special weapons and tactics. Integral to the mission, these teams are responsible for the rigorous assessment, selection, and elimination of anomalous entities.

APPENDIX II: FIVE TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL DEPLOYMENT WHEN CONTAINING A BREACH

Agents, you are our first line of defense against the fearsome unknown. When deployed to contain a breach, discipline and readiness is paramount.

Remember these five tips and you’ll be home by dinner!

Expect the Unexpected

Each mission is its own beast. While support units establish a perimeter and assess threat level for every incident report, teams must expect to receive LIMITED INTEL about mission parameters prior to deployment.


Time is of the Essence

Teams have 72 HOURS to clear and contain each floor of the complex and stabilize the situation to prevent escalation. Teams are advised to clear the complex from the ground floor to the top floor one by one. Remember, failure to clear a floor will terminate the mission!

Never Look Away

While on assignment, teams must GATHER AND DOCUMENT EVIDENCE for further study of anomalous activities. If containment is breached, entities have been known to change behavioral patterns and abilities. Gathered evidence will be transmitted to the Bureau and help other agents in future deployments!

Improvise, Improvise, Improvise

Teams on deployment must implement tactical maneuvers to neutralize threats effectively. While all teams are provided with necessary gear, teams should be prepared to ADAPT ON THE FLY while deployed, and SCAVENGE THE COMPLEX for necessary resources. Quick thinking is key!

ABC – Always Be Checking

TEAM COMMUNICATION is critical when on assignment. If you’re not being listened to! Entities have been known to piggyback on radio waves and mimic deceased agents to sabotage the containment procedures. Is it really your teammate you’re talking to? Stay sharp and ABC: always be checking!

RECORD_AGENT_045: “—then they snatched [AGENT 089]’s body. And, m’am, they changed it. We— we tried to go back to our gear. It wasn’t there. But [AGENT 089] was. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life. M’am, he was laughing.”

RECORD_AGENT_018: “No— Put that back— Look, we had to go back, we’ve had no ammo, no supplies, nothing. It was worse than ‘88. It all went to hell. And then I went to that damn shelf and those teeth— I said put that back—”

RECORD_AGENT_003: “—EYES INSIDE EYES INSIDE EYES INSIDE EYES INSIDE EYES INSIDE EYES INSIDE—”.
