(Pre mission briefing)
B2L: Why so many men? Isn’t this thing just supposed to be a car? Half a platoon could secure this thing just fine.
B3L: Better safe than sorry, I suppose. Hell, this thing might be a transformer for all we know.
B1L: You know, I was apart of the initial attempt to recover SCP-[Redacted]. There was four of us. Fucking four. I’m the only one that made it out. Then another four man team went in and… sigh shit’s ridiculous sometimes.
B3L: Geeze, I sure hope your luck doesn’t follow us.
B1L: Well, that shit was like ten years ago now.
B3L: Bet the miss’ is glad you made her pop a few out since then, huh?
B1L: Jesus, man, ha. Sounds a little messed up when you put it that way.
B2L: Not to many people in our line of work with families. You’re one of the lucky ones.
B1L: Thanks. So, all your guys are here?
B2L: Yah, my boys are here.
B3L: Same.
B1L: Alright, let’s get this brief underway. Everyone, gather around! Now, our mission is to secure a potential anomaly in [Redacted], Oregon. It’s being held in a warehouse in a low populated area, next to a heavily forest area. The warehouse has three floors all connected by catwalks and stairs, with offices on each floor, and a skyline on the roof that has clear visibility of all three floors.
We’ll be taken there in a Blackhawk. 1st Platoon, we’ll repel out onto the road, where we’ll be taking the first floor, and in three, four man fire teams to surround the building as we breach. Two and three both will land on the roof. 2nd will take the second floor by repelling down and breach the offices through the windows in three fireteams as well. 3rd, same idea, take the third floor, but one fire team will be posted on the roof looking through the skyline. Make sure the guys up top are marksmen.
Any questions?
(One hour later: Battle company boards three Blackhawks and heads towards objective. ETA: 30 minutes)

B2L: Battle 2, my teams all set.
B3L: Battle 3, set.
B1L: Roger.
Blackhawk Pilot: We have visual on the objective, prepare to disembark.
[B3L footage]
B1L: Roger, this is it gentlemen.
B34: Mike, if we get contact, can I fucking send one with this AT-4?
B39: Please don’t, you’re more likely to blow yourself up, kid.
B3L: (PN) As much as I love to hear you guys talk, keep chatter off unless you’re a fire team lead.
(Blackhawk approaches warehouse and steadies itself over the roof along with 2nd Platoon’s Blackhawk)
Blackhawk Pilot: Green light.
B1L: Execute.
B3L: (PN) Let’s go.
(B3L clips on the the repel rope and slides down onto the roof)
B3L: This is Battle 3, we’re on the rooftop, sending a team to watch skyline.
B2L: Battle 2, preparing our descent.
B1L: Battle 1, we’re boots on the ground and approaching the warehouse.
B3L: (PN) Team, prepare to repel down time now.
[B2L footage]
B2L: This is Battle 2, my team is set on the wall. Ready to breach.
B3L: Battle 3, we’re good.
B1L: Battle 1, we’re set down here to. On my mark, breach. 3… 2… 1… breach!
(B2L pushes self off wall and collides into the window. The line clips off and B2L and B22-4 clear the office room)
B2L: (PN) Clear. Fire teams, report.
B25: 2-5, all clear.
B29: 2-9, all good.
B3L: This is Battle 3, third floor is secured.
B2L: Battle 2, second floor is clear.

B2L: Two, roger.
B3L: Battle 3, Roger.
[B1L footage]
B1L: (PN) Fire team Bravo, move up to the target.
B15: Moving.
(B15-8 move towards SCP-XXXX with guns pointed towards it. B15 peeks inside SCP-XXXXs driver’s window and slowly opens the door. He peeks around the inside and backs away from it.)
B15: Seems all good here, sir. Key’s in the ignition to.
B1L: Roger, Jenkins, get into contact with Whisky 7, tell them to we have secured the package and require- (A gunshot is heard and B1L falls over to his side)
B2L: Contact! Shooter, north side!
(Gunfire continues)
B3L: Sending skyline team to identify targets.
B1L: (Breathing is picked up by audio)
B12: Team lead is down! Request medical assistance!
(B1L begins being dragged. A line of blood can be seen while being dragged.)
[B3L footage]
B19: This is Battle 1-9. Battle 1 is down and receiving medical aid.
B3L: Affirmative. Send a nine line up to Whisky 7.
B19: Bravo 1-9, acknowledged.
(B3L spots a target and engages)
B39: Battle 3-9, we have eyes on at least fourt- make that over fifty plus targets on the edge of the tree line.
B3L: (PN) Everyone, focus fire into that tree line. Even if you can’t see anything, light up that foliage.
B35: This is Battle 3-5, six and seven are down-arghck.
B39: Battle 9, I’ve spotted a pickup truck coming down the road. It’s full and they’re armed.
B3L: (PN) Mike, light that sucker up.
B34: Clear back blast.
B33: Clear.
B34: Rocket’s away.
B39: Good effect.
B2L: Battle 3, this is Battle 2, start moving your men down to the first floor. We may need to start thinking of falling back. This is a bad spot. I’ve already lost three men.
B3L: I was beginning to think the same. Alright, give us some covering fire, we’ll start moving here shortly. (PN) This is Battle 3 Lead, my team, let’s start making our way downstairs. You to eight. Skyline team, keep spotting targets and hitting those bastards. Alright, move.
[B2L footage]
B2L: (PN) (B2L has his hands over a bullet wound B22 sustained) Hang in there, man. Where’s the goddamn medic?
B24: I can’t reach him, sir.
(B22 goes limp)
B2L: (PN) … we need to get out of here now. There’s to many of them.
(A large explosion rocks above them)
B2L: (PN) What the hell was that?
B3L: This is Battle 3, they just shot a goddamn rocket at the third floor. 3-8 is down. Rest of us are making our way down to the second floor now. Once we’re down on the first floor, I’ll let you know and cover you.
B2L: Roger. Figure out what 1st is doing. I haven’t heard anyone down there since Battle 1 went down.
B3L: Acknowledged.
(B2L begins to fire upon the enemy)
B3L: We’re downstairs, make your move.
B2L: Roger, we’re- (A rocket can be seen being fired and a split second later can be seen entering B2L’s room. Pausing the footage, a serial number can be read on the side of the rocket. After being traced, it is believed that Battle Company had come under attack by Chaos Insurgents. The room explodes.)
[error: unable to detect signal]
[B3L footage]
B3L: Battle 2, do you read me?
[Static]
B3L: (Direct Speech) No… hey, medic, how’s Battle 1 doing?
B19: (DS) He needs surgery ASAP. He won’t last much longer if he isn’t treated. I sent the Nine Line, but that was ten minutes ago and nearest base is 30 minutes away.
B3L: (DS) We need to get out of here… the anomaly. It’s a goddamn car, it should be able to drive. Everyone, move to the car, we’re getting the hell out of here. (PN) Skyline team, repel down and start to fall back. We’re going to use the vehicle down here to get out of here.
B39: Roger. We’ll find a hole to hide in till extract.
(Surviving members including B1L, B19, B3L, B32, B33 and B34 begin to climb inside SCP-XXXX with B3L getting in the driver’s seat. He starts the engine and drives SCP-XXXX out of the warehouse)
B3L: Doc, keep Battle 1 as stabilized as you can. I’m gonna alert Whisky 7 of our situation.
[20 minutes later]
(The survivors of Battle Company arrive at the barren town of [Redacted])
B3L: Everyone out and setup a perimeter. The chopper should be here in ten mikes. Besides, y’all are acting like you’re dying, or something.
B34: My fucking shins hurts like a mother fucker.
B3L: Keep Battle 1 inside, we’ll get him out when we leave.
[B1L footage]
(B1L is sitting in SCP-XXXX by himself when the camera starts to violently shake and B1L slumps against SCP-XXXX’s interior. B19 notices the noise and opens SCP-XXXX’s door near B1L. He pulls B1L out.)
B19: (DS) He’s having a seizure.
(Two chinooks can be seen approaching the LZ in the distance)
[Life signs: Critical | BPM <10]
B3L: (DS) Don’t die on me, Harry…
[Heart rate flatline]
<End of Log>
The survivors and SCP-XXXX were extracted and returned to Site-[Redacted]. The skyline team were extracted an hour later after Chaos Insurgent soldiers had fled the area. It is unknown why the Chaos Insurgency has so much interest in SCP-XXXX to launch such an attack.
