Well, Operation Beaumaris has come and gone - remarkably few casualties, considering.
There was a lightly wounded team-member, hardly worth mentioning, really.
A few Type-1's (some of whom even survived: Try and remember to bandage them before you bring them back, guys!) and a Type-II who'll be rendered down for parts. The T-1's will be enjoying the hospitality at our 'Secure Accommodation' - told them to be sure to write to me if they weren't satisfied with the cooking.
Reduce, Re-Use, Recycle - works for me.
They still complain like anything when we bring them in though - one wouldn't shut up about "Shot Me In The Face!", 'till I explained that we probably wouldn't do it again. Another had a lot to say about being shot in the back while negotiating in good faith - had to give him the speech about "I'm Dr Brad, and I Approve of This Message.", think I set his mind at rest.
Where we ran into trouble was with the increased levels of contaminants - we warn people, we put it in the briefing notes, but they still mess up the simplest little 12-step decontamination procedures. The ABC's themselves aren't so bad, but we lost most of our mission teams to the extremely unpleasant side-effects of 'morning after' emergency decontamination.
Remember: Masks, Gloves, dispose of contaminated kit - don't make work for the CMO, he doesn't like it.
God alone knows how the Americans find enough people for their CLEGG teams! Some people seem naturally more resistant to the contamination, and they do have a much bigger population to pick from - but we're still having trouble finding enough 'volunteers' who can withstand the few hours exposure they get in a mission cycle.
Someone suggested a much more robust response to contamination - and I think it's a great idea: We could send a much larger team, and offer permanent posts to the ones who didn't trigger their contamination monitors, and survived. Much simpler than all that expensive testing - Pretty sure we can get funding for the research, once my ethics committee gives it the OK.
Nice to see Nakamura getting a good kick in the teeth, too. Someone nailed their courier team and our crew grabbed their would-be contact, along with their 'trade goods' - a really nice score, shame we're not getting paid for it. One less shipment of uranium, and we get all those lovely, lovely nannites.
I just hope it's a rumour, about the ISS starting to muscle in on the corporate action - they can see everything from up there, and it's a great height to be dropping hints from.
In the meantime, both sets of enemy seem to be uping their game: From the debriefs, the T2's had been given more resources, more ammo and were more determined to recover the bodies of the T1's, while the T1's were working desperately at something - not sure what they want to nuke, but it's really important to them. Something about "The End Of the Worlds" - whatever that means.

A rare opportunity to get my boots dirty this time - taking care of the environmental sampling for a couple of the missions, until our SG Team literally messed things up, and left the base crew scrambling to catch up.
Happy to leave the shooting to the enthusiasts this time round, spent some time babysitting a type II while the Major went back to find out where the rest of her team had got to. Troublesome chap, had to resort to hitting him over the head every few minutes, but we made it back through the gate & the rest of the team came back, bringing a wide selection of injuries.
With the nanite contamination levels reaching unprecedented levels, we need to remind everyone of the importance of good biosecurity - getting yourself bloody to the elbows is not the recommended way of disabling an enemy, even if they do look really, really scary!
On the positive side, some of our team have built up remarkably high resistance to contamination, the samples we recovered might help us work out why - possibly even improve on whatever they've done to the CLEGG teams that lets them operate for such long periods.
The bad news is that we blew the energy budget for the whole north of England, and then used far too many of our limited and expensive medical supplies - which seemed like a lot of trouble for one lost SG team, and left the Brigadier with questions to answer. Still, they were all eager to get right back up and do it again, so at least we know how to pick enthusiasts!
Dr Stokes.
