REPORTED BY: REF ID:
Emerald CI-AAR-50112-e
PRIMARY ACTOR: SECONDARY ACTORS:
Emerald Unknown Opfor, Dyna Graves
DATE: PRIORITY LEVEL: TYPE:
19-10-2035 Moderate After Action Report
LOCATION: PSIONICS INVOLVED:
Idaho Falls Yes
EVENT OVERVIEW:
See CI-INC-50112-e
EVENT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
I was given four priority objectives during the course of this mission. Objectives follow:
Priority: Safeguard collected artifact. (See CI-ART-1418-temp).
Priority: Ensure safety of Principal Subject Dyna Graves until contact could be made with Codename White.
Priority: Ascertain the nature of Unknown Opposing Force.
Priority: Safeguard interests of CI.
ISSUES ENCOUNTERED:
All was going well up until Dyna made use of what I suspected to be an artifact at the time. She said that she could see our unknown followers watching us through a scope. After taking evasive maneuvers to avoid any potential shots and making use of Dyna’s supposed ability to ascertain our relative safety, I made the decision to follow the third priority.
My ability (see CI-ART-18141) should have proved beyond enough to achieve all mission priorities.
I located the opposing force as Dyna described, positioned on a rooftop with a scoped rifle. Given the position I found them in, it did not look as if they had been readying for a shot. They may have been merely observing through the scope. I’ve done similar many times.
Problems began when I deactivated my artifact. I started subduing the opposing force for later questioning when the situation reversed. Instantly and abruptly, to my surprise and the apparent surprise of the opposing force, I found myself pinned and unable to activate my artifact to facilitate an escape. I did escape, thanks to Dyna (see incident report for full details).
ANALYSIS:
Given the anomalous issue, I can only conclude the the opposing force (possibly an unseen member of their group) possesses an active artifact. One capable of physically repositioning several humans in a localized space. The exact nature is currently unknown. I will leave discerning its parameters and limitations to the science team and focus on why the issue affected the mission.
I was too trusting in my artifact’s ability to see me out of any trouble. I did not consider the possibility that another organization or individual may have discovered the method of processing artifacts to the point where they may be bound. I did not expect to face physical anomalies.
I will be far more careful going forward, knowing that the enemy may possess something on my artifact’s level.

REPORTED BY: REF ID:
BEATRICE CI-INC-50112-h
PRIMARY ACTOR: SECONDARY ACTORS:
Graves, Dyna T. Graves, Emily
DATE: PRIORITY LEVEL: TYPE:
03-11-2035 Low Abnormal Communication
LOCATION: PSIONICS INVOLVED:
Carroll Institute Dormitory No
OVERVIEW:
Subject Graves, on watch following CI-INC-50112-g, made a phone call to her mother. The subject has called her mother four times since arriving at the Carroll Institute and none were flagged as abnormal. This call is merely noteworthy because of the timing relative to the recent incident. A transcript follows below.
Disclaimer: The following exists only because of Beatrice Protective Directive CI-PRO-█████-██. It is not Carroll Institute policy to monitor the communications of initiates.
DYNA GRAVES: Hey mom.
EMILY GRAVES: Dyna? It’s late, is something wrong?
DG: No, no. I just… had some thoughts about the past. Do you remember El? Emmanuel?
EG: Emmanuel who? What is this about?
DG: I think his last name was… Fultz? Fullst? Something like that. He was a friend of mine in elementary school. Not sure what happened to him after. We didn’t go to the same middle or high school.
EG: I don’t think—
DG: I went to his birthday party at Splash Springs. The water park? You must remember that, at least. Right?
[PAUSE OCCURS FOR APPROXIMATELY TEN SECONDS]
EG: Oh! That El. His mother used to host parties to try to sell cookware. I bought that rolling pin, you know that heavy marble one?
DG: I… That’s nice, mom. You wouldn’t happen to remember any other friends of mine from around that time?
EG: Well, let’s see. Now that I remember what we are talking about, I think I remember a few. There was Timothy… always had a bit of dirt on his face even after washing up. Maximilian is a name that comes to mind. Don’t remember much about him. Kyle? Did you have a friend named Kyle?
DG: That might sound familiar. Yeah, I think so. Kind of an annoying kid who broke my green TV tray?
EG: You were so upset about that. Wouldn’t stop talking about it for months even though we had a spare.
DG: We’re getting off track. Do you remember anyone else? I think there were… two more?
EG: Really? I only remember Lonny. The only other girl you hung out with from Bluegreen Elementary. You were always a bit of a tomboy.
DG: Mom…
EG: [Laughs]
DG: There wasn’t one more?
EG: I don’t think so. There were other children who went to your school, but none in your little gang.
DG: Really? Hm. You still have those scrapbooks?
EG: Of course! I would never get rid of them.
DG: Could you find that trip to the water park and that birthday party and send me a picture of all the pages related to it?
EG: What brought this on?
DG: I just thought I saw someone I knew and was trying to remember where I knew them from. I think they were at that party. Maybe one of El’s friends outside our little group? It isn’t that important. Just one of those things that gets into your head and then you can’t stop thinking about it.
EG: Well, it certainly sounds important. You call me late in the night to ask about it? I haven’t even gotten a call from you in weeks.
DG: Yeah. I’ve been… busy. Lots going on here. And still things going on now. Got to go mom, I’ll call you soon!
EG: Oh… Alright. Well, I love you, Dyna.
DG: Love you too, mom.
