Projected Flight Conditions

General: Gate behaviour is becoming even more increasingly iratic, with a general decline over the past few tours in flight operations and their associated number of stable wormhole connections. However, the forecast for 2014 is for three such operations (plus the intelligence conference and dinner)-a 50% increase on 2013, but with the likelyhood of extremely turbulent and dangerous conditions both in flight and off-world, as evidenced by the situation experienced by all Regiments during CON-88 during August this year, wherein no Star Gate Base had any "natural" wormholes-all had to be forced, which resulted in a limited number of actual missions. This appears to be due to the increasing influence of the systems Black Hole root at G-1597 and or the interference of the alien infestation currently under way in the mid part of the spline. Likewise the enemies deployment and use of nuclear weapons in an attempt to sever the spline, cannot, we think, be completely ruled out as a causal effect upon the systems aborant behaviour. Nor can our approach to sunspot maximum, which in the past has caused similar problems in the cycle. This time it is running later than in previous solar cycles. Solar activity continues to varry between 30 and 50% greater than the previous sunspot maximum, that co-incided with the last drop off in Gate activations in 2000 ~ 2001.

CON-89 Specific: The signal strengths for planetary target acquisitions on the system are highly varriable, ranging from as low as just 0.5× and 35× the "normal" amplitude. During CON-86 it peaked at 22×. Unlike then we do have a small number of stable Gates as listed below, possibly associated with the passage of peak sunspot activity. The Gate Tower's Gravity Wave detector is as ever continuing to pick up strong signals of a similar magnitude, which means that the Gate is once again "leaking" gravity. Thus as per CON-86 we can not garuntee crew safety within the Gate tower or any resulting wormholes. During CON-86, G-forces as high as 8.5G were experience by Russian personnel, resulting in a number of injuries, but fortunately no fatalities. "Anti-G" suits will be issued to Flight Crews to aid in reducing the risks of G-LOC (Gravitationally induced Loss Of Consciousness) in flight. Please be aware these are standard USAF and RAF issue Anti-G suits which are rated to 9G (the max for fast jet aircrews). Civilians not rated for up to 9G, will like those personnel who fail their medical, will automatically lose Flight Status and be asigned to Ground Crew duties, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties. Please ensure that you have reported in to the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for pre-flight innoculations versus motion sickness.

Alien Biological Contaminant (ABC) Levels

General: The aggregate post CON-88 M1/M2 ABC level stands at 661 units, that is a 90U increase above those recorded at CON-86 (571U). This is almost seven times the volume detected prior to CON-52 OPERATION BANNOCKBURN 03/4-6/2005. Wherein "100 units" was the base line reference figure for the M1, with M2's at trace levels, a value that had remained stable since 1946.

M1: The post CON-88 total of M1 type ABC recovered from equipment deployed off-world, achieved a total of 298U, being the fourth recorded decrease in the type. A reduction of -15U, slightly less than the -22U detected at CON-86, compared to the -20 decrease over CON-84.

M2: As with CON's -86, -84, 83, -77, -74 and -73 there was an marked change in the volume of recovered levels of the M2 type of ABC at CON-88 when compared to CON's -074 and -068 (wherein for the first time the M2 level had reached 3 units, whereas prior to CON-66 it was stable at c.0.34u). At CON-74 the level of the M2 type of ABC achieved 37u, almost double that of the previous reading, and post CON-77 the figure was 46. At CON-88 the M2 level reached a massive 363U, an increase of + 202 U over the 161 U of CON-86, which means the type is now in the majority at 54.9% of the total ABC levels. See the ABC page for more details.

Special effort must be made to collect air, water, rock, soil and foliage samples, plus Enemy Prisoners of War (EPW's), during OPERATION VERULAMIUM to coroborate the data. Type 2+ EPW's are also vital to the ABC recovery program, without which we will eventually have no medical supplies or munitions. See the Alerts section below for the reminder on the policy regarding T1 and T2 EPW's.

The precautionary principal dictates that CON-89 will be subject to the EXTREME ABC Protection Protocol, as levels are expected to be dangerously high off world. Note that it will be necesary for all exterior gear to be removed for decontamination immediately upon return from off world missions, to ensure personal and collective bio-safety post flight-WITHOUT EXCEPTION! The so-called "boot room" has been specially adapted for this purpose (Level 2, room #208). CON-89 will like CON-88 before it conclude with a 10 day mandatory "lock down" pending a full medical and equipment inspection/decontamination at each of our operational facilities. We at Gatewatch thank you for your co-operation in maintaining bio-security.

Alerts & Special Orders

1. Only one mission cycle has been conducted from RGHQ-51 in the past twelve months, and so we are in effect blind as to the military and scientific situation off-world. Great care and effort must be made to secure intelligence for the CONTACT program, before any consistent plans for future actions can be made. It was noted at the previous operation that T1's were moving through the system away from the Black Hole end of all splines, and Gatewatch has registered that stable targets have recently all been in the lower digits, with no "hits" beyond Midguard (USA) on C068A (52G-CLASSIFIED) and Fort Bifrost (UK) at C068W (51G-0799). T2+ activity is also on the increase, following the movements of the T1's. Both hostiles are moving in numerous small groups, presumably to enhance their chances of avoiding or making contact as appropriate. Our #1 priority need is for living T1 EPW's for interrogation. The extremely unusual flight conditions at this operation demand additional caution in target selection and mission planning, see the Gatewatch Chart portion of this document.
2. It is believed but not yet confirmed that the nuclear detonation on or near the enemy position known as Fort Apache (VXC105), durring the final mission of CON-74, may have cut the Spline at this point. Any intelligence that can confirm or deny this assessment is a priority at this time. Enemy transports of nuclear materials must be intercepted and retrieved.
3. You are reminded that AREA-50 in the USA is once again on-line, and their CLEGG ("CONTACT Long Endurance Gate Group") program was reactivated during CON-83. Be aware that you may encounter such personnel off-world, for CON-89, their authenication code is ANGEL FIRE.
4. You are reminded that the policy on the recovery of Type One Enemy Prisoners of War (EPW) has been revised in light of intelligence gathered at previous operations. Secure accommodation has been created in inaccessible locations, wherein EPW's can enjoy a significant degree of personal freedom, without fear of M1 extraction (currently remains a fatal procedure). It is hoped that the less finatical personnel may choose to surrender rather than fight to the death when capture is inevitable. We are still seeking the missing UNMC Engineers from the 51^ST Regiment, for enterogation and custady. These 27 personnel remain listed as MIA as of CON-68. The unit's default Authentication Code was "ANGEL", but bearing in mind how long they have been off-world, it is unlikely that any of them remain uncontaminated.
5. At the specified times (see chart) and between other Gate activations during CON-89, the Starlabs engineers can, upon receipt of a written authorisation from the base's S3 (Operations Officer), delivered via the authorised channels, i.e. the base's senior ground crew officer (BGEN Courtney-S1), program the XAD1471 system for a launch and a retreval flight to/from:
- G-0799 (aka C068W), the location of FORT BIFROST, and/or
- a target Gate of your choice (subject to technical issues).
6. Be advised that Lieutenant Colonel James T. Law who was recalled from his assignment as the Commanding Officer of BASE-56 in New Zealand, to resume his position as the UNSGC Auditor, and who is now asigned to serve in this Regiments Military Police Company, is still undertaking his report for GHQ and it is required that ALL operatives cooperate with his investigations in to personnel performance, procedures, security, etc. An abridged edition of his report will be made available at the next Intelligence Conference scheduled for late 2013/14, subject to UNSGCHQ adjudication. For CON-89, LTC Law is temporarily on attachment to UNSGC GHQ, and will not be on base until mid December 2013

Note Regarding The XAD1471

The XAD1471 is part of the Gatewatch system, enabling very limited control of the Star Gate by the Ground Crew, originally designed to permit emergency recovery of off-world teams. The system will only function during a "natural" Gate cycle, which occur in blocks of about 1~3 days, approximately 3~5 times a year, and require circa 72 hours of pre flight charging. The Ground Crew can then force up to two Gate activations during that cycle, to or from a target of the operation's commander's choice. It can only be safely used by prior arrangement at a specified time or when the inter-planetary comunications systems are working adequately, so that an authorised request by the off-world team can be processed to activate the Gate and open the iris to ensure a safe landing. Be aware that the earlier the Ground crew are advised of an intended launch or recovery mission, the safer it will be for the SG team. For example, the short notice given by the surviving Engineers (OPERATION WINCHESTER, CON-68), resulted in losses during their return flight.

NOTES
1. Where personnel serve at the same rank, their seniority in the chain of command has been determined firstly by the holding of specific posts, time in post, recent service, and finally a comparison between their Promotional Points and their level of training (Expert Infantry Course Units & Battle Practise Units). New personnel, that is, Marine Recruits, Specialist Recruits and Civilian Recruits, have had their seniority determined first by whether they are military, trained or untrained civilians, and secondly by date of enlistment, or in simple alphabetical order as appropriate. This latter point is for all practical purposes a purely administrative decision. In the field natural leadership skills would be more important, presuming that it should ever become relevant. Officers on Attachment serve in an advisory capasity only, and those listed in Support have authority with regard to base management and security issues only.

Legend
See the Notes below this Legend, as well as the UNMC Abbreviations & Glossary of Terms .

Column 1 "Act.#" is the "activation ordinal" as it was on the day. A number in brackets is the original ordinal, and indicates that this activation had had its ordinal changed by the insertion of a "forced" Gate using the XAD1471 system.
Column 2 "In/Out" is the direction of the wormhole in relationship to the Earth.
Column 3 "Gate ID#" is the individual target Gate's identification number. Remember that a Gate is on a "Spline", a linear set of Gates ONLY accessible via other Gates of the same Spline.
Column 4 "Launch" is the time the Gate opens for departure. See note 1.
Column 5 "Landing" is the time the Gate opens at the other end to enable arrival at your destination. See note 1.
Column 6 "Flight" is the duration of the flight. See note 1.
Column 7 "Notes" gives the Mission number and it's type: PATHFINDER, RECON, COMBAT, SAR or SPECIAL. Where known, the planetary ID is given here.

NOTES:

All times in these tables are expressed in either ZULU (GMT) or ALPHA time (BST/CET) as listed. Please be aware that friendly forces off world, maybe operating in a different time zone.
You are reminded that Gates remain open for precisely 120 seconds ONLY, commencing with the specified launch/landing time.
WARNING: an asterisk set against the stated flight times for a givven Outbound and Inbound Gate Activation to a particular Gate, marks it as "varriable", in that the flight times are different from one another, which indicates extreme conditions within the wormhole. It is essential that Flight Crews immediately begin Anti-G-LOC drill upon passing the Event Horizon.
The CO, XO, S2 & S3 must decide if and which targets they would like to attempt to make an Outbound or Inbound connection with, using the XAD1471 system in the available slots listed. If you desire to use the XAD1471, then you MUST notify the Star Labs engineers at your earliest to ensure a safe flight.
Specified mission types and numbers are for guidance only and are subject to change by the S3.
Where known, planetary ID's are given.

In Memoriam

Gillian Kelley
"Combat Medic"
Sergeant First Class
September 26th 2003, CON-44 Operation Stoke ~ Operation Verulamium CON-89, November 30th 2013. - R.I.P.

Moments before the opening of the return Gate (SG51-PO617A) at the end of Mission #1 of CON-89 OPERATION VERULAMIUM, while under heavy fire, Sergeant First Class Gillian Kelley was critically wounded as she treated her SG unit's commanding officer, Captain Elizabeth King, who had been seriously injured by hostile fire. Using her own body as a shield to protect her casualty, in the best tradition of her profession, Kelley was extensively wounded by a long burst of fire from T1 enemy forces. Kelley was immediately evacuated to Earth, but died in surgery. Her casualty, Captain King, as a direct consequence of Kelley's actions, survived the mission.

SFC Gillian Kelley was one of this Regiment's longest serving, and most highly decorated Field Medics, and many of us owe our lives to her outstanding efforts in the battlefield over the past ten years. She will not be forgotten.

Journey through gate was very rough and disorientating.
Planet was cool and dry, but wet underfoot.
Came upon the village that was more built up than before, went through in a 2 x 2 formation.
Circled around area and found another Star gate with lots of barricades and green bins.
Came upon fort which we had seen on a previous mission. It was more built up and hat a three level tower attached.
Scouted area came down hill to cover 2 bridges.
Reynolds saw someone emerging from the village, both him and Oses engaged the contact. Turns out she was a woman with a Russian accent and she kept mentioning beer!
Both Reynolds and Oses secured the contact, in the meantime Wolfe spotted a second contact, calling out for Boris. Ward spoke to him he was very nervous and hid behind a tree. He was carrying a canister. He kept calling out beer appears to be a password. He said he was not a soldier just a postman. He kept moving away and eventually ran off.
Both Ward & Wolfe shot at the 2nd contact but they appeared not to have hit him.
Ward and Wolfe moved towards the gate where they spotted the 2nd contact again, this time they caught him, he was carrying a canister, SFC Ward persuaded him to hand over his weapon and the canister and to come and meet Boris our first prisoner. He called out beer and Boris called out bottle. Reynolds & Oses were called up to join the rest of the team.
It was discovered that Boris and Tommy were to meet, they greeted each other like long lost friends and that Tommy was to hand the canister to Boris.
Tommy then attempted to run away and was shot by Sgt Reynolds. He was secured and searched. The unit then moved to the gate area.
Gate activated and unfortunately Tommy struggled with pvt. Oses and pushed him through the gate. He then ran off he was shot at but apparently unhurt. Boris struggled but was taken through the star gate, Sgt ward had the canister
The trip back was once again rough, coming through the gate the prisoner came out first.

Items recovered: Canister with a alien body* in it, skull and plutonium rods* in a small case.

Observations: T1’s knew where the gate was, also the contact known as Tommy could be a member of the original team 13. Boris said she worked for a Japanese company in Osaka.

Flight rough, landed weather bright, dry but cold, ground boggy in places; we made a two by two circuit of the area signs of further buildings since last visit also signs of combat having taken place. No sign of any enemy activity. We came upon fort which was seen before but had been considerably built up with a three story tower to the northern side. Below the fort were two separate bridges across a boggy stream. It was decided to move down to cover the bridges prior to moving onto the stargate.

As we were moving down towards the bridges a person was spotted coming from the direction of the stargate on the other side of the stream. Sgt Reynolds was nearest and took charge speaking to her and then taking her as a prisoner. While this was going on a second person was seen behind our position Cpl. Wolfe and I moved to intercept.

I challenged him he said you are not Boris. He was carrying a silver canister. He appeared nervous and kept hiding. I tried to get him to come to me but he ran away. He was speaking Russian. I then rejoined Sgt Reynolds who had the second person detained and secured.

We moved over the bridge and made our way towards the stargate I led with Cpl Wolfe and Sgt Reynolds and Private Oses followed bringing the prisoner with them.

As we approached the village again I saw the second person in one of the buildings, he deployed smoke and ran off. I was able to out flank him and again engaged him in conversation. I told him we had Boris and invited him to join us. I also persuaded him to give me his weapon and the canister. He said he was not a soldier only a postman. I had Boris brought up. They embraced the second male ran off and was shot by Sgt Reynolds. He was tied up, searched and left in the custody of Pvt. Oses

We then moved onto the vicinity of the stargate to await the gate out. The gate activated and the male prisoner struggled with Pvt.Oses pushing him through the Star Gate. The first prisoner started struggling and I assisted Sgt Reynolds to take her through the gate.

The return journey was rough and we were mixed up on the way; the prisoner becoming first to exit. Fortunately I was able to act before she was shot.

Items retrieved*
Human remains – skull found in the fort.
Heavy silver metal cylinder with handle – sealed
Found on prisoner 1 flat metal box sealed.

* The two items and the EPW were sent to Porton Down, see the DSTL report for this operation.

No casualties.

Intelligence gained Prisoner 1 stated that she was from Osaka and worked for Japanese company there. Spoke with Russian accent. Prisoner 2 was Russian and appears to have been there to exchange metal cylinder for metal box.

Recommendations:
1. Weapons handling for new recruits if Pvt.Oses had not been occupied with trying to remove magazine from weapon second prisoner would not have escaped.
2. Safe gun handling – several times weapons were pointed at team members.
3. Searching and securing of prisoners.
