I have been awake for THIRTY-SIX HOURS trying to help track some new Runners down off the internet, and...Well, let's just say it's not easy, since no real computer personnel were attached to our new task force.
The reason we're hunting down the Runners again hasn't been made especially clear. Nightcrawler says to 'contain the problem' and 'run damage control', and hasn't really elaborated as to what that means as far as the Slender Man Division is concerned.
Got a bad feeling about this.

New mission
We've been getting reports that Mr. Twiggy is not dead as we originally anticipated. Post-operation observation units have been pulled out of Indianapolis.
It didn't work.
We officially cannot touch the bastard. The Slender Man division of the Paranormal Termination Consortium is being re-opened for business to run damage control, and make sure his influence doesn't spread any further. We now have standing orders to not support Irregulars in any further joint operations. We're handling this ourselves. New personnel and supplies are being attached to our task force, Nightcrawler got a nice fat promotion, and guess who's still on sniper detail with a cut paycheck, and no downtime?
Yep, me.
My job sucks.

After Action Report
Date: December 21st, 2010 - Winter Solstice
Time: Approx. 22:00, local time
Location: Near Indianapolis, exact location withheld for security purposes
Primary target, a creature dubbed 'the Slender Man' was designated Target Alpha for the purposes of this operation. Basroil Squad, led by Squad Commander 'Nightcrawler' rendezvous'd with a small group of irregulars, the apparent leader of which was designated 'Zero.' The original plan was for irregular 'Zero' to serve as some kind of bait for Target Alpha, luring the target into a predetermined ambush zone in which the irregulars were to engage Target Alpha directly. Basroil Squad was primarily there for the purposes of neutralizing Indoctrinated forces that may have arrived to hinder the operation, while the irregulars moved in to engage Target Alpha.
By approx. 22:15, Basroil Squad had taken up positions near and around the intended ambush site. At 22:20, a squad of Indoctrinated, numbering six, entered clear view, armed with a combination of different weapons such as baseball bats and large sticks, kitchen knives, and switchblades. The squad of Indoctrinated were designated Target Beta-1 through Beta-6, and the irregulars held back while the Indoctrinated approached, to give Basroil Squad time to line up clear shots.
Squad Commander 'Nightcrawler' gave the order for weapons free at 22:21, and Targets Beta-1 through Beta-6 were terminated without any return fire. Additional hostiles approached from the nearby woods two minutes later, numbering approximately twenty Indoctrinated, with Target Alpha close behind them. Squad Commander 'Nightcrawler' gave the clearance for weapons free upon visual contact with Target Alpha. The primary objective was to terminate or disperse any and all Indoctrinated supporting Target Alpha.
Indoctrinated forces suffered heavy losses in the resulting engagement, with Basroil Squad suffering zero casualties. Dead Indoctrinated from this second force totalled out to approximately eighteen, although exact numbers are impossible to ascertain, as there were more than a few dismembered limbs as a result of the incoming fire on their positions. Enemy stragglers were forced into a retreat into the nearby woods, and as of yet have not been re-engaged.
During the engagement with the Indoctrinated, Basroil Squad knowingly and willingly permitted the irregular 'Zero' to engage Target Alpha. Target Alpha effortlessly neutralized irregular 'Zero', and proceeded forward to engage another unidentified irregular.
The irregular stabbed Target Alpha with an unidentified weapon, likely some kind of pocketknife or switchblade due to the size, and all present combatants were [INFORMATION REDACTED BY ORDER OF P.T.C. CENTRAL COMMAND - CLASS TWO PARANORMAL PHENOMENON]
Shortly after the effects passed, it had been noted by Basroil 2 that a fog had settled in over the area. This was quickly confirmed by the rest of the squad, and by some of the irregulars. Basroil Squad then organized a withdrawal and extraction plan for all irregulars present, and disengaged from the area. Irregular 'Zero' and the unidentified irregular were not discovered in post-engagement recon, but several bodies were identified, including an enemy operative that had made an attempt on Squad Commander 'Nightcrawler's' life some time ago.
Target Alpha has not been sighted since the engagement, indicating that the subject may have been neutralized.
Recommend observation of the area for confirmation of the primary target's status, and transfer of Basroil Squad to a different division in the wake of this operation's success. Also recommend shutdown of the Slender Man Division, as the subject is either impossible to terminate permanently, or is effectively neutralized.
-End Report
------------------
So, there you have it. After our endless bickering with Central Command, they finally agreed to release this report to you irregulars. That little redacted bit is for a good reason, and that's all we'll say.
Mission successful.
We're gone.

Oscar Mike
For anyone that wonders what Oscar Mike means, it means 'on the move.'
Which is exactly what we are right now.
We're going to rendezvous with Zero shortly. From there, we'll proceed with his little plan. I'm not supposed to say anything else, in case Indoctrinated are reading this and intend to use the plan against us.
The last you hear from us about the Slender Man will be when you're reading the after-action report.

Report from Specter - Transfer
Just got word from Specter. He's still pissed at us for kidnapping/torturing him. Not entirely unjustified. I bet Butch and his team are still pissed we shot them.
He's managed to net us a bit of leniency with the higher-ups. All we need to do is accept a salary cut, and a transfer to a division that's been designated High Risk recently. Far from all this Slender Man crap. Those bastards at Central Command have no fucking clue what we've been doing this entire time. Most of them are a bunch of guys in suits that got just a passing glance at something supernatural, and then got with their buddies to buy a bunch of machine guns and put a bunch of mercenaries on payroll to shoot the crap out of it. They're the least-qualified to say what's High Risk and Low Risk. But, they pay my pills and give me a good dental plan.
Hopefully, it's just werewolf duty in Alaska. Ain't so bad. At least you can shoot the damn things with conventional rifles, and from safety in a gunship. The transfer will only happen after this assignment's over with, though.
Yes, we kill werewolves too.

Protip
Never drive off-road at high speeds when the GPS says there's a road in front of you. You might almost hit another car.
Oh, and we made it.
