CLASSIFIED – LEVEL BLACK
FILE: OPERATION BIRTHDAY CANDLE
DATE: [REDACTED]
REFERENCE FILES: TOYS “R” US INCIDENT REPORT, SHEEPY-ANALYSIS, FLAME INCIDENT PROTOCOLS – REV 3
INCIDENT SUMMARY
On [REDACTED], Entity “Sheepy” (Ref. SHEEPY-ANALYSIS) was granted supervised access to [REDACTED] Children’s Hospital via Make-A-Wish Foundation request from Patient #2451 (“Danny,” age 7).
Patient cited the Toys “R” Us Incident (see ref. file) as the primary reason for requesting Sheepy’s presence, stating:
“He’s the funniest thing I ever saw, and he stole toys like a raccoon in a wool sweater.”
Sheepy arrived in a decorative cardboard box labeled “FREE RAM – ADOPT ME” and was allowed entry after being cleared by hospital staff (who were unaware of his prior Flame Incident restrictions).
EVENT CHRONOLOGY
14:03 hrs – Sheepy emerges from box, greets patient, presents a bundle of rust-flavored tin cans as “party favors.”
14:07 hrs – Cake is brought into the patient ward.
14:08 hrs – Sheepy produces a full military-grade flamethrower from his wool storage (“void wool” property noted), declaring:
“Time to light these babies up proper.”
14:08–14:10 hrs – Multiple staff attempt verbal de-escalation. Sheepy ignores them, igniting all candles and a significant portion of the tablecloth in one prolonged burst.
14:10–14:12 hrs – Emergency sprinkler system triggers, causing localized flooding in the party area. Balloons burst from heat exposure. Patients startled; no physical injuries reported.
14:13 hrs – Sheepy claims the fire was “just for dramatic effect” and attempts to hand the flamethrower to a nurse as a “gift.”
OUTCOME
No children injured. Several displayed acute startle responses, now undergoing light counseling.
Cake declared “structurally compromised” but edible.
Party relocated to a different ward; Sheepy escorted from premises by security.
Entity permanently banned from [REDACTED] Children’s Hospital under “No-Return Medical Facility Directive.”
NOTES & ANALYSIS
Void Wool Hazard: Flamethrower was retrieved from Sheepy’s wool despite hospital security sweep prior to entry.
Psychological Impact: While initial patient morale increased upon Sheepy’s arrival, incident likely reduced long-term trust in Make-A-Wish vetting process.
Potential Escalation: Entity expressed interest in “doing the same thing at a geriatric ward, but with sparklers.” This is to be prevented at all costs.
COMMAND DIRECTIVE:
Any future “goodwill” appearances by Entity Sheepy are to be treated as potential high-risk operations requiring full JTAEC containment protocols. No exceptions.
