OPERATION HATFIELD CHASE

June 15-17 2007

Issued @ 15:30Z 06/15/2007

The Gatewatch system reports that as at 15:30Z their were a total of only 15 usable inbound and outbound wormholes for CON-65, as specified below. There are no unresolved signal spikes at this time. All these spikes are at never before seen energy levels (4x). The Gravity Wave detector is for the first time actually picking up signals. This means that the Gate is "leaking" gravity in the area of the Gate Tower. Presuming flights are launched, we can not reasonably estimate what the conditions for crews within the wormhole will be like, however "G" suits have been procured to aid in reducing the risks of black outs in flight. Please be aware these are standard USAF and RAF issue Anti-G suits which are only rated to 9G (the max for fast jet aircrews).

Due to the high EMP damage suffered by SG#50 (USA) last November, there will be no flights from that Gate. Likewise SG#52 (USA) is reporting only 2 unresolved signal spikes, which currently means no missions are planned for that Gate at present. SG#54 (RF) however, advise that they are preparing missions to go to a similarly low number of target planets as per ours. This means that the recovery of CLEGG-621 will be down to either us or the Russians, depending upon whoever finds them first (assuming anyone does).

During CON-62 the aggregate total of ABC recovered from off-world equipment reached +108% above pre-CON-52 levels, which is an increase of +17% over those of CON-61. As almost 7 months has elapsed since this the last flight operation, the precautionary principal dictates that CON-65 will be subject to the Extreme ABC Protection Protocol, as levels could be dangerously high. Additional NBC suits and filters will be provided. Thus it will be necesary for all exterior gear to be removed for decontamination to ensure personal and collective safety - WITHOUT EXCEPTION! CON-65 will like CON-62 conclude with a mandatory "lock down" pending a full medical and equipment inspection/decontamination at each of our operational facilities. We at Gatewatch apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your co-operation in maintaining bio-security.

Mission 1

Intelligence Summary: Standard Arborial world. Atmospheric distortion due to heavy gravametric effects. Thousands of Gate Spire pairs visible on the horizon line. Multiple contacts encountered and engaged. Gravity readings taken and 1 holdall with contents retrieved (see DSTL Report).

Mission Debrief: We entered transit in 2 squads of 3, very rough transit. World was as expected, standard arboreal with heavy gravitational lensing in the atmosphere. Lots of distortion. There were Gates everywhere, hundreds probably thousands visible to the naked eye. Stray radio chatter picked up from call-sign STA trying to call call-sign STR and not getting response. This continued till both squads started a sweep from the Gate along the base of the hill. Lights were observed ahead at which point Rhys replied to the radio chatter and got a garbled response. No radio discipline. Squads then came across 3 scientists using white lights. 1 identified as Japanese, name ‘Hatchikoma?’ female, 1 identified as Lundquist and the last as Morgernstern (male). Lindquist and Morgernstern appeared to be rivals, Morgernstern had a bad outlook on life! They expected us to be the Japanese people they were waiting for. They were also gabling lots of science regarding 8 dimensions involving the black hole will become a 9th dimensional object soon, 11 dimensions etc… Something to do with the planet was orbiting the sun at half the speed of light. Hachikoma said that there was no one else on the world except the other team that was at the other gate on the other side of the world. Mentioned 10 to the power of n where n is a bloody big number. They were fascinated with ‘the cause’. The data that they were getting on the planet would answer some of the questions, big fundamental questions. They told us that they had lots of bags of equipment that were supposed to be transferred to ‘our’ team and handed over 1 bag.

They said that they had 11 more for us to pick up. Reece and Sackville-West followed the scientists to retrieve the bags. The first bag was handed to Lewis for the duration, this bag contained Morgernsterns’ scientific results and he was very protective of it. Reese and Sackville-West were a fair distance from the gate when our minimum safe time ended. It was decided to return as time to Gate transit was running out. The scientists were left arguing about which path to take. Reece and Sackville-West turned and returned toward the Gate with the rest of the squads. The scientists followed asking where they were and being vaguely threatening. Both squads opened suppressing fire (Pretending that we were also under fire!) .

Alpha Squad: Carter (1IC), Sackville-West, King.

Gate transition was exceptionally turbulent, worse than anything I have previously encountered.  Fortunately we had some prior warning and therefore Anti-G flight suits were issued for the transit.  The only prior mission to VP1066 was via the ‘A’ gate, this was therefore classed as a Pathfinder mission.

The VP1066 system is in orbit around a black hole and therefore some unusual effects were expected.  On arrival these effects were evident in the form of gravity lensing by the black hole of stars in the vicinity.  From our entry point many gates were visible, too many for any truly accurate estimate of numbers to be made; it appears, however, that there were several hundred (possibly thousands) in the area visible from the ‘B’ gate.

Almost immediately on entry we started picking up radio chatter: someone identifying themselves as ‘Sierra Tango Alpha’ was trying to contact ‘Sierra Tango Romeo’; although we picked up no EM evidence for this second (?) team.  As we heard some unidentifiable noises to our front we initially held position and tried to find out where the noise and radio traffic was coming from.  After 15 minutes or so we swept down towards the (possible) origin point of the noises and soon saw white light illumination in the near distance.  On approach we could also here loud (and extremely undisciplined) voices.  I responded to their radio chatter purporting to be their STR team, moving forward with Sackville-West and Carter I made face to face contact with the bogeys.

There were three of them: one Asiatic female and two Caucasian males, identifying themselves as Hachimaki (f), Lundqvist and Morgenstern (both m).  They claimed to be scientists and were lightly armed, two with pistols, one with a shotgun.  They had expected the STR team to be Japanese (possibly Nakamura?) and were there to hand over data they had gathered ‘for the cause’ relating to the black hole (?).  We were handed one bag, which was passed to Sackville-West and then to Lewis and told that there were eleven more bags to be collected.  Sackville-West, Carter and I followed to try and recover the bags; the three scientists were extremely excitable and spent much of their time arguing with each other (lending credence to their claims to be scientists).  We were told that there was no need to worry about other people as “there was no-one else on the planet except at the ‘A’ gate – and that’s on the other side of the planet”.  We got several hundred metres away from the gate at which point, with our gate out time approaching and a return trip through dark woods (possibly under fire) to be considered, Sackville-West and I decided to leave the three scientists and return to the gate at speed.  At that point the scientists were arguing about which way they needed to go to find the bags.  Collecting Carter and Lewis on the way we reached the gate with the scientists following, we opened fire for effect to drive them off before exiting the gate.

Samples taken: soil, gravitometer (2 transits + time on world).  One bag recovered, containing two sealed metal boxes (see DSTL Report).

The SG team was split up into 2 smaller squads called Alpha and Bravo; Alpa was lead by Sergent Carter and Bravo by Staff Sergent Christine Ward.  We departed from the gate @ 22.48 with Alpha taking the lead up a slight incline through the trees.  Once we reached a poistion on top the the incline it was decided to bed down and position ourselves as during the climb we had heeard radio chatter from an unknown source Sierra Tango Alpha to Sierra Romeo.

After a while it was decided to go and do a sweep of the area near the Stargate.  It was at this point that I was unable to continue onwards, but I could hear.  The team had encountered another group of travellers, which they proceeded to find out who they were, then came gunfire I think.  After a while it became quiet, Sergent Ward scared the living daylights out of me when she came back to see how I was.

After about 20 minutes I think, I could hear the rest of the squad return to the gate as we had five minutes to gate activation.  When it got to a minute before gate activation, the group the squard had found before came back resulting in a battle.  Thankfully nobody was injured, until we got back to base when we found that Sergeant Carter had accidently shot Sackville West (I think).

Mission 2

Intelligence Summary: Return mission to world formerly destroyed by worm infestation and subsequently having entered a 'nuclear winter' cycle. No change to world conditions but multiple worm presence observed. Samples taken (see DSTL Report).

Conditions had not changed noticeably since our last visit to this world.  Sub-Arctic conditions still prevailed with approx. 2 feet of compacted snow on the ground and a thin atmosphere as if at high altitude.  The gate is at the edge of an approx. 1000 metre diameter circle of gates, at least 20 in number.  There was no initial sign of any life.  Two sample tubes of rocks were collected, taken from beneath the snow layer.  A trench/trough some distance away towards another gate yielded a more interesting sample.  This trough led away from one of the gates and was indicative of a ‘worm track’.  At the base of the trench under some of the compacted snow a ‘worm nodule’ was found: metallic and heterogeneous.

While collecting samples flying objects were observed: long, thin and wingless; scale was impossible to judge without external references, the colour seemed to be purplish and a distinct noise (similar, but not identical to, a turbojet) was heard.  One made a closer approach and landing as our gate out time approached.  It was a ‘worm’ and, after landing, it passed close to our position.  Estimates of its size placed it at 15-16 metres in diameter and in excess of 1000m long.  There was no obvious means of propulsion as it just appeared to glide along the surface with none of the body movement seen in either earthworms or snakes.  While the ‘worm’ was still passing the ‘B’ gate opened and we returned to base.  During the return we experienced our only casualty, when I was shot by 1LT Sackville-West who had neglected to remove the magazine from his weapon.

Samples: One each of snow, gravel as well as atmosphere samples, one ‘worm nodule’ (still to be positively identified), gravitometer readings (2 transits plus time on world) (see DSTL Report).

Departed from the gate @ 07.22am on a short mission to a planet that was cold and I mean cold!  The mission was led by Staff Seargeant Christine Ward with myself, Lt Sackville West, Colonel Rhys and Spike; samples of the rock and soil was taken by Colonel Rhys with the gravimeter.  It was while the soil samples were being taken that we noticed some flying objects getting closer and closer to our position, one landed over the ridge about ½ mile away.  A shadow was discovered and Ward dispatched Rhys and Sackville West to investigate.

Then another flying creature landed in the same direction as the first creature was was spotted coming towards us at a rate of knots, somebody meantioned 30 miles!  You could feel it coming towards you as the ground was rumbling and the snow was flying about; it was then that we realised that it was a worm coming towards us, it was 15 foot high at least and the mouth was huge.  The worm was a gold, purple iridescent colour and it had nodules.  Rhys found one of these nodules which he took for analysis (see DSTL Report).

The rumbling was so powerful that 3 of us fell down with the aftershocks, luckly Ward was still standing.  It was then that the gate activated and Ward told us to head back to base as fast as we could.  It wasn’t until we got back that we found that Rhys had suffered a gun shot wound while in transit, luckly nobody else was injured.

Mission 3

Intelligence Summary: Pathfinder mission. Standard Arborial world with heavy rain and thunderstorms. Multiple contacts encountered and engaged. 2 hostiles killed, no bodies retrieved. Single member of CLEGG 621 identified and retrieved successfully along with inteligence. Stargazer unit and Gravatometer deployed and retrieved. See below for scan of map retrieved with the CLEGG team member (see DSTL Report).

Mission Debrief: Made entry through gate, nothing unremarkable about this. Immediately did sweep of the area and set up the stargazer unit. Collected samples of soil and Air, the Gravatometer was also set up. Set up defensive position on a hill around the stargazer with outlying scouts. Within 35 mins of arriving spotted an unknown who identified herself as a CLEGG 621 survivor using the correct code word. She reported that she had been pursued for 4 days by what was a 9-man squad of type 1’s, now reduced to 2-man as she had managed to kill them off one by one. She reported that she was tired but had a vital piece of info in the form of a map.  Interrogation was applied, no medical attention or refreshments were offered. The map was reported to contain the location of further information obtained on targets by CLEGG 621.

After about 45 mins on the planet a small group of hostiles were identified and a brief fire-fight ensued. The hostiles ran. The CLEGG team member was keen to engage them, she was talked down. We then dug, CLEGG team member remained at the centre of the defensive position and went to sleep, nothing further happened till gate out and we left without further incident. The CLEGG team member was retrieved through the Gate along with the rest of the teams. The map was not opened until the team returned to the SGC as it was sealed and the weather was very wet.

The area of this world where the gate emerged appeared to be a semi-tropical jungle: warm, extremely wet and humid.  As we had the gravitometer and Stargazer system with us we moved the required distance from the gate, set up the Stargazer, formed a secure perimeter based around its site and prepared to take soil samples etc.  Before the samples could be taken our pickets heard noises in the woods indicating a contact of some description.  At roughly the same time pickets on our left and right flanks made visual and verbal contact.

The contact on the left flank consisted of two individuals claiming to be UNSGC, although they were unable to verify their identities.  They further claimed that a rogue Type 3 claiming to be a CLEGG team member was in the vicinity.  The right flank pickets had at the same time made contact with a single individual claiming to be from CLEGG 621; this individual followed the correct identification procedure and was allowed forward.  She identified herself as SGT Hennessy and asked for me by name, obviously knowing I was the senior field officer.  She gave me a plastic-wrapped paper map, the results of some of their surveillance of Fort Apache.  The rest of her 4-man team (she said) had split up 4 days previously when they started random gate jumps in an attempt to get the information back to either us or one of the Russian teams.  The hostiles were the remains of a 9-man squad of Type 1s that had been hunting her for 4 days, being depleted one by one as she picked them off exiting gates behind her.  This 2-man squad attempted to assault our position but were driven back by sustained fire.

Weather conditions continued to deteriorate and after some time with no sign of the two hostiles we extracted through the gate returning with Hennesy and the map.  CPT Lewis attempted to take soil samples before we returned, but the soil proved to be covered with a tough, fibrous plant that made soil recovery difficult, especially given the weather conditions and the possibility of coming under hostile fire.

Samples and Data:  Stargazer data, gravitometer readings (2 transits plus time on ground), fragmentary soil samples, one map (see DSTL Report).

Mission 4

Intelligence Summary: Mission to C Gate at the site of the former New Greenham Common base. Rendezvoused with 2 surviving members of CLEGG 621 and retrieved them and information regarding their last mission (see DSTL Report). Retreated to the Gate site and encountered multiple contacts. 2 mission personel injured, no enemy bodies returned.

Realising that we had achieved our objective both teams regrouped and headed cautiously to a position that was identified to be safe, Just by the dry lake at the base of a rise. Alpha team – Carter, Sackville-West, King and Kelly advanced at a slow pace to this position. They sent out a runner to see whether the mound was clear. Reported clear. The remainder of the 2 squads regrouped at the mound. We then began to move down to another position closer to the gate. Sackville-West, Jones and Carter went to the mouth of the Gate at which point a light appeared in the trees and Sackville-West moved towards it. West then was shot and lay unconscious. Suppressing fire was laid down; fire was then exchanged for a while. West was rescued whilst covered under suppressing fire. Carter sustained an injury whilst dragging Sackville-West to safety. Sackville-West’s injuries were treated whilst Lewis and Allbright came up to the position. Suppressing fire continued. Teams now short of ammo and still receiving hostile fire. A plan was formed to clear the hostiles and Rhys, Allbright and Sackville-West volunteered.

During CON 65.3 we recovered one of CLEGG 621’s team members (MSGT Hennessy) who had in her possession a map.  As this map showed the terrain around CLEGG 621’s base of operations for carrying out surveillance of Fort Apache a team was assembled to try and make contact with the team member who had remained behind and recover the data disk in their possession.  This was designated a combat mission with a high expectation of encountering enemy forces at some point.  As such, no scientific equipment (other than necessary medical equipment) was to be taken.

CPT Frost was originally scheduled for this mission but was called away for perimeter defence at the last moment; the two teams that eventually went out consisted of Carter (TO), Sackville-West, Kelly and King as Alpha Squad and myself and CPT Lewis as Bravo Squad.  Alpha took point and began their sweep but only ten minutes or so before Bravo made contact with SGT Jones, another member of CLEGG 621, who gave the correct identification code and joined up with us to assist in the sweep.  Whilst moving towards the tank traps and trench system marked on Hennesy’s map SGT Carter was illuminated by white light from a small bunker and was shot.  It later transpired that he had opened fire in reaction to the illumination and had been hit by one of his own ricochets.  Sackville-West and Jones made contact with the person in the bunker: SGT Allbright, the missing CLEGG team member.

After safely recovering SGT Allbright and making sure that she had the data in her possession we started moving back towards the gate location.  This was somewhat hindered by Allbright, who was undisciplined, unfocussed and extremely garrulous.  This was probably due to the drugs she had been taking to: a) prevent nanites from affecting her and b) to keep her awake as she had been on alert for the previous four days.  Lewis and I kept Allbright with us to the rear of Alpha to try and enable them to use a bit more stealth in their approach to the gate.  The two squads advanced slowly by bounds towards the gate until Alpha came under fire from the treeline.

Carter’s squad put down suppressive fire towards the hostiles; from observation it appeared to be a minimum of two hostiles armed with fully automatic weaponry.  As I was some 30 metres from Alpha squad I did not hear the reason for Sackville-West suddenly running, on his own, directly at the treeline; he managed to get into the trees although coming under heavy enemy fire, possibly he was trying to spot the hostiles’ location?  Alpha put down more suppressive fire, possibly as a result of this there was no radio communication from them, leaving Beta in the dark.  I moved up to provide supporting fire from Alpha’s right flank leaving Lewis and Allbright in cover behind an earth hillock.  At this point one of Alpha (later identified as Carter) also ran at the treeline, emerging shortly afterwards dragging Sackville-West.  Although both appeared to have been shot (in Sackville-West’s case repeatedly and enthusiastically) this had not been initially apparent as there had been none of the usual screams of agony – possibly the hostiles’ ammunition was substandard or modified?

After putting down heavy suppressive fire into the treeline return fire ceased.  The necessity of a sweep through the trees to flush out the hostiles was discussed; as unwounded with reasonable ammunition reserves SGT Allbright and myself set off to carry it out.  Sackville-West followed us, despite being heavily bandaged.  CPT Lewis got the data disk from SGT Allbright before we set off.  Access to the treeline was difficult and hazardous due to miscellaneous ground debris.  During the sweep Sackville-West was shot. Again. Multiple times.  However, this gave Allbright and myself a good indication of the hostile’s location and, illuminating from two sides with white light, got a firm location and eliminated him.  We dragged Sackville-West back up out of the treeline, then waited until extraction time when we laid down heavy suppressive fire into the woods to: a) suppress a theorised second hostile and b) ensure weapons were empty before gate transit.  Unfortunately, due to unconsciousness caused by his wounds, Sackville-West’s weapon was not emptied and discharged in transit.  SGT Carter was injured again by the discharge as was Sackville-West.  Again.

Mission result:  Two of the remaining three missing members of CLEGG 621 were recovered, only Kowalski now remains to be found.  The data disk relating to Fort Apache surveillance was recovered and is already in the hands of our S2-RGHQ-51 (see DSTL Report).

Mission 5

Intelligence Summary: Pathfinder mission. Standard Arborial world. Multiple contacts encountered and engaged, one positivly identified as Pfc Berne, MIA CON 60 Mission 3. Samples (soil, air, water and rocks x 2) returned along with a cannister, ammunition can and 3 bodies (inc Berne) returned and sent to Porton Down for further tests (see DSTL Report). See below for Transcript of interrogation of Dutch national returned with teams.

Mission Debrief: Transit through gate was 1100, world was warm and muggy woodland, evidence of small animals and birds, no evidence of higher life forms. Teams proceeded to the left of the Gate did a slow patrol. All terrain was woodland. Teams took a break about half hour in and then carried on and were heading back towards a hill when we head a voice shouting ‘come on where are you?’ We moved round to intercept. Contacts eventually came up behind us. Sackville-West and Ward tried to come in behind them flanking. Frost and Lewis observed 2 contacts leave the woods that we had just left, one ducked back out of sight. He said that they were waiting for someone and that he would speak to his superior officer about us. He then came back and asked if we had anything for them, we offered to trade T3ID but the contacts disappeared and did not come back. We then saw them, having passed us, back on the opposite side of the valley going the other way.

We followed and heard the voices the first 2 contacts up near the Gate. Then a third person approached and they had a conversation. One of the first contacts ones said that they had ‘had enough and wanted to go back…’ possibly to bury something. There was then firing. At this point Sackville-West and Ward were moving in from the valley bottom, Frost and Lewis moving in from the hill. Ward tried to talk to the lone male who said that he was Dutch, he said he didn’t belong to any unit and he didn’t want to talk. Then he fired on us so Sackville-West advanced and fired back. The Dutch man was neutralised. We searched all the bodies nothing found other than 2 canisters that were on the ground. One of the bodies had the ID tag BERNE. 2 of the bodies including Berne tried to reanimate and were kept down.

Alpha Squad: Ward (Tactical officer), Sackville-West, Kelly.

Q. Were the other two part of your team?
A. No.

Q. Did you bring the metal box or the tube with you?
A. The metal box.

Q. Do you know what was in the cylinder?
A. Keep it away from the other two you brought in with me it’s very dangerous to them. Open it in a safe and secure area.

Q. Ward. Our people will do that. What do you think we aught to do with the contents?
A. Take them to Porton Down.

Q. Do you know what was in the box you were carrying?
A. No. They told me not to open it as it was potentially very dangerous.

Q. Ward. Is there anything else you would like to tell us?
A. No. Now I want a solicitor.

Q. Do you have a solicitor or any preferences?
A. No one appointed by my Consulate.

***NEXT DOCUMENT***

The images below were taken of the contents of the canister and ammunition case returned in mission 5. The Canister appears to contain a human foetus, possibly aborted, and the ammunition tin contains what appears to be a Uranium slug of the same specification to those retrieved at CON 62 Mission 1.

Map provided by CLEGG-621

The image below is a scan of the map provided by a returned member of CLEGG 621 (see Mission 3). The map shows the terrain around and location of a data dump. As the scan is poor quality, the original is available for inspection if required, see CPT Lewis.

Note on the Data Dump retrieved Mission 4: Attempts were made to open the files on the 3.5 inch floppy disc that was retrieved. The attempt at RGHQ51 base failed as the data was corrupted. The Disk was then sent to Porton Down for further attempts. Copies of this disk were also sent to both US bases (AREA-50 & -52) where the data was retrieved and found to contain a computer virus of unknown origin. This virus caused the total failure of both base computer systems (see CON-66 brief for further details). Fortunately the attempt to retrieve the data at Porton Down failed. The following is the report from Porton Down regarding this - UPDATE 08/07/2007: Post the alert of today 08/07/2007, concerning the enforced shut down of the United States' CLEGG program and the arrest of it's staff at AREA-50, the ambush wherein First Lieutenant Sackville--West can be viewed in a different light, as the captured disc appears to be the source of the computer virus responsible for the downing of the AREA-50 and AREA-52 Gatewatch and archive systems on 07/17/2007.
