Task Force 232 - Pyre, Boiler, and Ember Teams depart Precinct 54 at 1840Local/2040Hive to conduct a targeted presence patrol in Epsilon Sector 54 (Ore Extraction and Refining) following reports from local inhabitants indicating possible cult activity. Task Force (TF) elements travel in a 3-vehicle patrol convoy, with a quick-response force (QRF) of local law enforcement special tactics teams on stand-by.

 

At 1902L/2102H, Ember Team arrive on site and disembark to conduct foot patrol through habitation area. Pyre and Boiler teams assigned to search work sites with cyber-mastiffs.

 

At 1914L/2114H, reconnaissance servo-skulls of Ember team detect lifeforms inside a hab-block for local miners that are over 60% inconsistent with human bio-patterns. Ember Team requests permission, and is approved, for direct action mission into the hab unit with Title 18 authorities and relaxed rules of engagement.

 

At 1916Z/2116H, Ember Team assault element breaches Hab Unit 884 and immediately encounters multiple Genestealer Cultists, Hybrids, and Aberrants that open fire on the assault element. Support element remains outside hab to provide perimeter security and counter-sniper overwatch.

 

Team Lead, Ember 1-1, engages in hand-to-hand struggle with one Aberrant but is ultimately successful in incapacitating the subject. The second Aberrant attacks Ember 1-2 with a mining tool. 1-2 suffers broken ribs but is commendably saved from further harm by Ember 1-3’s heroic intervention. 1-3 attempts to use magnacles to restrain second Aberrant but magnacles only have two locking cuffs, while this particular xeno-mutant had three arms. As such, 1-3 resorts to using SLHG Assault Ram to knock assailant into nearby access shaft. Subject presumed irrecoverable or dead.

 

Within two minutes, Cultists presumably from outside the hab begin to arrive on scene to try and intervene, coming into contact with the support element stationed outside. Ember 2-1 was severely wounded by a hybrid creature that struck him in the head with a large rock-saw. Rookie Patrolman Ember 2-3 bravely came to his rescue and subdued the hybrid with a shock baton.

 

At 1921Z/2121H, the call was made to QRF for support as well as a medevac for 2-1. Simultaneously, the remaining Cultists began to retreat. Ember 1-1 and 1-3 both reported seeing an individual in a much more advanced stage of mutation that seemed to be shouting orders and ultimately instructed the other cultists to flee. (Analyst Comment: The assault element likely saw a Cult Alpha, which could be an indication that the xenos threat in this Sector is exceptionally grave.) The timing of the enemy’s departure with the timing of the QRF call has led to some concern about compromised vox-communications. Recommend loading new encryption protocols onto all PRC-117s and 152s.

 

Following the Cultist retreat, Ember Team was ordered not to pursue but instead remain at the hab unit to administer medical aid to 2-1, and conduct SSE (sensitive site exploitation) to gather any relevant intelligence for S2 analysis. SSE results in recovery of biological tissues of two of the mutants, [REDACTED], four personal communication devices, two data slates, one firearm with strange markings scrawled on the barrel, and one individual who was found locked in a nearby latrine who is claiming the cultists planned to eat him.

 

At 1927Z/2127H, QRF arrives and evacuates Ember 2-1. 2-1 currently in stable condition, scheduled to undergo evaluation over the next 5 cycles to determine suitability for continued operations. Follow-on raids planned by local law enforcement this week predicted to be unproductive as S2 Threat Assessment Team suggests any remaining Cultists have likely already relocated to a different Sub-Sector.

 

Epsilon Sector 54 placed on Tier A Lockdown until all residents can be questioned. Task Force 232’s discoveries are to be presented to an emergency meeting of Sector Security Committe at 0500H next cycle. The individual rescued from the latrine has been detained in isolation and is awaiting approval by medical teams for interrogation under concern that he is likely contaminated and will need to be incinerated for his own safety.

 

Addendum: Ember 1-3 advises that future patrols in risk of encountering mutated subjects be provided with at least one set of magnacles that have 3 or more locking cuffs.
