Case File: OPERATION BOX – PHASE II (Designate: “Package Intercept”)

Classification: Incident Report – Failure

Distribution: JTAEC Command, Tactical Operations, Containment Science

Filed by: Field Commander Lt. H. Marwick

Date: [REDACTED]

 

Mission Objective

Interdict anomalous entity Sheepy during suspected box-based infiltration of civilian residence at [REDACTED].

Seize entity, recover stolen tin cans, and transfer subject to JTAEC Containment Facility-14.

 

Pre-Operation Setup

  • Surveillance Team: 4x agents in unmarked vehicle positioned across street.

  • Entry Team: 6x Containment Response Officers (CRO) equipped with non-lethal net launchers, tranquilizer rifles, and Level 3 Wool Handling Gloves.

  • Decoy civilian instructed to “adopt” Sheepy and allow entry.

  • Backup medical unit on standby.

 

Incident Timeline

18:42 hrs – Surveillance confirms cardboard box with “FREE – PLEASE ADOPT” written in large, uneven marker appears on decoy doorstep.

18:44 hrs – Decoy opens door. Audio recorders capture Sheepy saying, “Hello! May I live here and eat your cans?” in an unusually cheerful tone.

18:45 hrs – CROs breach, deploy nets. Sheepy evades by… folding the box around himself and rolling down the hallway at high velocity.

18:46 hrs – CRO-2 attempts tranquilizer shot. Subject counters by producing rust-flavored can and hurling it into ceiling light fixture, shattering it and plunging hallway into darkness.

18:47 hrs – Multiple metallic “clink” sounds reported; post-event analysis confirms 3 grenade-type cans deployed, disabling front entry.

18:48 hrs – CRO-5 reports being struck in shin by hatchet handle — confirmed to be Sheepy’s known emotional support hatchet.

18:50 hrs – Subject breaches rear exit, leaving cardboard box decoy containing a note: “Nice try, wool-less nerds. – S”.

 

Casualties & Losses

  • Injuries: 3x CROs treated for mild to moderate contusions, 1x agent with minor shrapnel wounds from grenade-can.

  • Equipment Losses: 2 net launchers damaged, 1 tranquilizer rifle stolen.

  • Property Damage: Civilian decoy residence suffered moderate interior destruction, pantry completely emptied of tin cans.

 

Operational Conclusion

Capture attempt deemed total failure. Subject demonstrated adaptive combat awareness, improvised use of environment, and ability to neutralize trained operatives without lethal force.

Entity remains at large and continues to operate in alliance with the Coalition of Allied Terran Sociopaths (C.A.T.S).

 

Addendum – Analyst Commentary:

“We underestimated the Sheep. We thought we were the hunters. Turns out, we were just the delivery service.”
