First time in almost a week.
Not much to report since last night. There's been a few complaints of loud noises near the barracks past midnight last night, but security footage doesn't show anything important on the feed and none of the night patrols or janitors saw anything. That's probably a bad sign.
Will keep you updated if anything else comes up.

It's a Quiet Night
So, once again, I can't sleep. Figured I'd keep everybody posted as to what's going on.
Nightcrawler's been hauled off. PTC Internal Affairs will take it from here. He's officially no longer our problem.
On the subject of Scott's Electric Theorem, our science team's been hard at work figuring out how best to put it to use. A few requests have been put in with Central Command to send us some specialized 'lethal taser' rounds. We want to maximize battlefield efficiency, so we've been working on a more short-range solution to supplement the taser rounds: A close combat weapon that is essentially an electrified warhammer. The Slender Man is exactly what his name implies. That is to say, slender. So, a wide-headed weapon that's swung is a large arc is more likely to hit him in close combat, especially with a long enough handle; far easier to deal with him than if we were to resort to knives or swords or something. Rubber is wrapped around the handle for an easier grip, and to prevent the wielder from being electrified. We've dubbed our little prototype the 'Hammer of Thor.' Overly dramatic, I think, but still fitting.
We've been trying to figure out how to proceed without B2. Nightcrawler may have handicapped our efforts to enter the Path of Black Leaves safely, here. We can't guarantee good results during our expedition, but we have to try. Anyone 'in the know' regarding the Path itself (expected resistance, environment?) should come forward with relevant data.
AmalgamationSage, your request for information regarding our 'Friend's' most recent contact point cannot be granted at this point. He's somehow managed to encrypt everything to the point where our own computer specialists can barely make out what state he's in, this time. This last contact was based out of somewhere in Indiana. I'd suggest searching there, but 'Indiana' is a bit vague. That's a lot of ground to cover.
Scott, keep the SitReps coming. Hopefully, our next field commander will be coming in shortly. We can't be without a head in that Department too long. It's never pretty.

Warnings, Approval, and Impracticality
Alright, so, I fell asleep earlier in the day than usual. Just trying to catch up on sleep. Woke up just now, and can't get back to sleep. Reading through the comments of the previous blog post, I can safely say 'yes, I can read my personal blog just fine.' The questions, the comments about 'the veil being pulled back forever.' I want to act like this isn't anything important, but we're all too aware of what's always going on these days to just ignore a heads-up like this.
So, my thanks to 'A Friend.' Not entirely sure who he is or why he's helping us, but, he's there. We just need to be careful, for the same reasons - We're not entirely sure who he is, or why he's helping us. We have no idea what or who we're dealing with.
Anyways, Scott, read your recent intelligence report regarding Zero. I never met him - Nightcrawler and Basroil Squad had that little honor - But you've made it quite apparent he's a big player in this messed-up little chess game. Between that, the Electric Theorem (which was finally forwarded to the geeks down in the science labs), and your other intelligence reports, I think I made the right call having you brought here.
But, your Irregular Oversight Program would be impractical. Such a thing was originally attempted with the implementation of the SMD's 'Priority Individual' policy. We saw how well that one worked out. Between our recent losses to the debatably-existent Revenants and a shift in leadership among the Military Department, we won't be able to enact the Oversight Program anytime in the foreseeable future.

Report Filed
Request for a new field commander sent in.
Nightcrawler's being detained until they can come and pick him up.
We're done with his crap.

DAMN IT NIGHTCRAWLER
Ladies and gentlemen, Nightcrawler done fucking goofed.
We had him. We fucking had B2. Or at least one of him. We HAD HIM. There were no signs of any more of B2's copies, or anything, but we had at least one of him.
Then Nightcrawler KILLS HIM.
We have no idea what kind of impact this will have on 'other' B2s, but we know that any chances of an answer at this moment have been destroyed.
I'm reporting this to Central Command, and demanding a new field commander. Nightcrawler's gone against orders too many times.
The task force is returning to base now.
I am not happy.

Deployment
Alright, according to consensus (As of this post, 25 out of 35 votes say 'Hunt for B2'), B2 is our target. The troops have been sent out. We're throwing everything at B2. If anything will get him, it's what we have left.
Primary objective is to take him alive.
The troops have had this made perfectly clear to them. Me and Scott will be staying behind with...well, nobody but the science team, other executives, and the janitorial staff. I'm taking a huge risk, leaving our little hideout undefended, but if it gets us B2 fast enough, we should be fine.

Expedition or Hunt?
Alright, so, I've put up a poll. I'll explain the purpose behind it.
Regardless of Reach's claims of insanity, we have confirmation that data we obtained through the assistance of a Conduit has helped us gain access to the Path of Black Leaves. We might be able to launch a preliminary scouting expedition into this little pocket dimension Slendy calls home for a test drive after the science team figures out how to actually get it working. They say it won't take too long. We've got data, so we're using it.
On another note, B2's been spotted recently. I want to try and bring him in again. Maybe, with the confirmation of dimensional weirdness on our end, he'll be cooperative. If he's not, we can still give it a shot. However, we don't have the numbers or the resources to try and launch the expedition at the same time. B2 can't get away if we throw everything we have at him. And if the expedition heads into the Path at the same time, they wouldn't have the numbers they'd need to take him in.
So, for the purposes of coordinating with Irregulars as I promised, I've put up a poll. Your recommendation is meaningful, here. We can go after B2, or we can launch a preliminary expedition into the Path. Anything more than that, and we wouldn't have the personnel we'd need to hold down the fort in case of trouble.
-Specter
PS. To all PTC personnel who actually read this blog,
I made it fucking clear not to mess with the new arrival. Failure to comply with this directive will be met with pay cuts, and reports back to Central Command about disorderly conduct. I made this abundantly clear during the announcements on the intercom just this morning before breakfast. I've had three reports from anonymous tipsters that people were gearing up to mess with Scott already.
And could someone please explain what Frank was planning to do with that jar of peanut butter?
