Operation Details:
Grounded intelligence has greenlit the operation to Search and Rescue for possible survivors of what the Russka Republic has broadcasted as an epidemic of a new strain of viruses ravaging their western territories. UN approval has been authorized to allow Explorers to operate in the Western Regions of Russka, Operation [REDACTED] was put into effect under the guise of a land and Ethnobotanical survey led by Professor Cyno.
Clandestine participants of this operation are to enact a deep strike of what the Western Bloc Government has labeled as a potential black site. The owners of this so-called black site are unknown, any data gathered from this Operation is to be utilized for future operations in covering the masterminds.
Any non hostile elements are to be taken into custody. Additionally, all hostiles are to be eliminated with extreme prejudice. There will be no prisoners, that has been set as final and will not be rescinded under any circumstance. Any alive witnesses will be handled post operation.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Section 2: POST OPERATION REPORT
Designation Code: S1-03182024
Addendum: As vice leader of Operation [REDACTED], the post report has fallen to me. Even with my status as a lowly trainee, recruited to shadow the operation and gain experience, this heavy responsibility has fallen in my lap.
Outcome: The Raid of the potential black site found west in Russka territory yielded an unsavory line of results and new findings. The Search and Recovery Team had initially wanted to find incriminated evidence of the perpetrator of these black sites, which have become prevalent since the end of the Starfall war.
A similar pattern of these black site activities has been found when comparing the initial raids years before today. Information concerning those past operations have gone public, and the information from this operation will likely follow suit. A common theme found between these operations is the confirmed and identified illegal small arms caches, along with a number of reported equipment that should've been disposed of during the War. It is unknown why these items have been stowed and locked away, but their persistent presence the last decade elaborates a pattern of possible civil dissent. Radical Groups such as the Authorians or the Humanists come to mind, in fact assurance can be drawn.
Markings on the wall of the black site and the attire of the eliminated personnel manning the site, show a tie to Humanist activity, making them the likely culprits that had led to the creation of this specific black site. The masterminds have yet to be found, but the reasoning for this conjecture on the Humanists is compounded due to the poor treatment of the astonishing number of prisoners found at the site. Records have said that Authorians have done the same, but their pattern with prisoners is to brainwash or to turn them to their side, they at least follow some convention of law and decency to a fellow human being, none of which the Humanists seem to ever follow.
In total, an estimated one thousand prisoners have been liberated, though we believe these are not all of them, only the survivors. We discovered a staggering amount of bodies that had been collected purposefully around the black site territory. We are still investigating, but we have enough proof to say that these sites were for the purpose of ‘mass disposal’.
(Note: It is chilling to think that our fellow man can do such horrendous acts of cruelty that are as atrocious as the repeated genocidal war crimes of WW2.] )
Journals of the perpetrating guards of these black sites contain evidence of radical ideas about human purity or the rightful rulers of the world. My consensus to these items is to further investigations into the Russka Republic. How these abhorrent individuals were able to operate in Russka territory is suspicious since their republic holds an iron grip on territorial surveillance.
On another note, a majority of the liberated prisoners show signs of PTSD, some are even broke and are showing withdrawal symptoms from whatever the personnel of the black sites had done to them. The flip side to this, a minority of the surviving prisoners are able to reintegrate into society. An estimation of 2 months care is the projected time frame needed for full recovery.
Currently, transportation is being scheduled to bring them to safe havens within the Western Bloc and its allies in the Eastern Bloc. I’ve put in a recommendation that the classified individuals called beast humans are to be sent to the Eastern Bloc. They will be comfortable living there, especially in the established homeland for Beast Humans.
(Note: It is a shame that the discrimination of the past has bleed out this far into the future, and at this extent.)

Section 3: MASTER REPORT
Designation Code: [REDACTED]
Addendum: I am again reminded of the sheer vileness of humanity. As a fellow human, I find the behavior of the Black Site Personnel untenable. Their elimination was the only choice to right the wrong they had done.
Summary: Team insertion of all Liberator Battlegroups has been established flawlessly, though issues have arisen in the fighting force of our opponents. The number of casualties taken has increased by 10% from the last similar operation. Finalized findings have concluded that the Humanists, or the Authorians, are arming themselves in resistance to the new established reality of the world.
The division of the world into Blocs and the use of Terracolonies as suitable living space for humankind seems to anger these radical groups. The rise of terrorism has begun, and has been likely stewing under our noses the last decade after the war. Missions going forward will no longer prioritize extraction and evidence acquisition as the primary objective. Elimination is the only recourse going forward.
Next, concerning the Trainees who took part in the operation, as well as the volunteers from the Academy, future trial runs to incorporate real world application of explorers as a peacekeeping force will need further testing. A finer filter and even more scrutinizing eye has been pushed to be added into procedural recruitment. While controversial to include intraining explorers, the experience gained outweighs the dangers.
As of note, combatant S1-03182024, along with volunteers C9S0523B, O9S0523H, and G3N1824S, have proven effective. Recommendations for accelerated and specialized training have been offered. It is rare to find talented personnel like them who can excel in new environments with little time needed to adjust. Their team cohesion in Battlegroup Executor 01 is sub optimal, but optimal nonetheless.
For final remarks, I am glad to say that the operation was an overall success. The liberated prisoners are in recovery and projections put that 99% of them will be reintegrated into society in 12 months. The remaining 1% are currently undergoing medical procedures to help the victims cope with their memories. Mind alteration and passive memory inhibiting procedures have been recommended. Of note, a young and unique survivor has volunteered to enroll into an Explorer Academy in hopes of joining future endeavors similar to Operation [REDACTED]. She is not of suitable age and the span of her mental scarring must be examined before her acceptance into an academy, let alone her participation in these operations, can be discussed or even approved.
(Note: The unique survivor holds a pronounced endearment to one of the severely affected victims. Recommendation for the two to not be separated has been accepted by upper management.

Undisclosed Note - Found written on the back of the master report - Findings Filed and stored for posterity.
I only wish we found them sooner, but at least we made the bastards pay.
It’s the least we can do for the parents of the victims and the vindication of the dead.
I do not know if our actions have set things right, nor do I think spilling blood has amounted to any progress in the wider world.
All I know is that those criminals were clearly wild animals.
I wish I could forget what I saw, but my memory is always on point.
But if I can always remember them, then maybe I can get rid of them, maybe not just in myself.. But in others.
Would Dahlia’s parents approve? I wonder, though I know I’m only writing this for myself.
