 Title: Incident Report – Operation Parchment Swipe
 Classification: LEVEL BLACK – JTAEC INTERNAL USE ONLY
 Distribution: Committee Directors, Senior Operatives, Intelligence Divisions


 

Executive Summary:
 On [REDACTED], Joint Terrestrial–Anomalous Events Committee assets initiated Operation Parchment Swipe, a targeted extraction mission to secure Subject FRENCHY (Human Male, historian). Intelligence indicated Subject possesses detailed chronologies of C.A.T.S operations, including undocumented “Sheepy Analysis” protocols and suspected weaknesses.

Subject was identified as a high-value intelligence asset whose capture could significantly undermine C.A.T.S operational security and provide leverage in ongoing territorial disputes with anomalous entities.

Mission objective: Locate, detain, and extract Subject FRENCHY from an undisclosed safehouse in C.A.T.S-controlled territory.


 

Operational Timeline:

H+00:00 – Deployment
 Recon teams inserted via low-visibility aerial transport. Ground team “Parchment One” moved to breach point. Surveillance indicated low activity in the area — later confirmed to be deliberate misdirection.

H+00:11 – Breach Attempt
 Parchment One initiated breach on structure. Unexpected countermeasure: wool-based perimeter field designed by Subject SHEEPY (C.A.T.S Lead Engineer). Contact with the field resulted in severe vertigo and involuntary laughter in multiple operatives.

H+00:14 – Counterstrike Initiation
 C.A.T.S members engaged. Visual IDs confirmed:

  • QUINNZ – Command role; directed defense from rooftop vantage.

  • TAZ – Manifested hostile Class-IV biological constructs (tentacled bipeds).

  • RIDLY – Engaged in suppressive fire with non-standard projectile weapon (origin unknown).

  • YUKI – Deployed crocheted restraint devices (resistant to thermal cutting).

  • JOHNATHAN – Initiated improvised inquisition of Parchment One leader mid-firefight.

  • HOLY MOTHER & DADDY JAKOB – Manifested briefly in spectral form, triggering psionic feedback in multiple operators.

  • ELROD – Neutralized one operative by “hugging aggressively.”

H+00:23 – Target Evacuation
 Subject FRENCHY relocated by C.A.T.S to subterranean transport shaft. No JTAEC operatives were able to maintain pursuit beyond Checkpoint Delta due to Sheepy deploying Prototype Wool Barricade v7 — dense white spiral-horned construct producing low-frequency “baaa” resonance. Exposure beyond 12 seconds caused acute disorientation and memory gaps.

H+00:29 – Operation Abort
 Command issued full retreat. Remaining ground assets extracted via emergency VTOL retrieval. No C.A.T.S casualties observed; JTAEC sustained 78% operational losses (non-fatal, but most operatives currently in psychiatric evaluation).


 

Outcome:

  • Primary Objective: FAILED – Subject FRENCHY remains in C.A.T.S custody.

  • Secondary Intelligence Gathering: PARTIAL SUCCESS – Limited environmental mapping of C.A.T.S territory obtained before data corruption (likely due to Sheepy’s counter-intrusion measures).

  • Psychological Impact: Notable operator reluctance to engage with C.A.T.S again without extensive counter-memetic training.


 

Committee Assessment:
 C.A.T.S defensive coordination exceeded projections. Notably, hostile forces demonstrated:

  • Unconventional but effective combined-arms tactics.

  • Extensive psychological warfare capabilities.

  • Technological assets (Sheepy’s) resistant to standard neutralization methods.

Recommendation: Increase HUMINT infiltration operations to locate alternate leverage points against C.A.T.S. Avoid direct assault on personnel until countermeasures against Wool Field Effects are developed.


 

Status:
 Incident classified as Ongoing Threat. Surveillance of Subject FRENCHY and C.A.T.S to continue.
