The following is a rough draft of what will hopefully become my first contribution to the SCP wiki. A corresponding AAR will be made in the future. Things such as images, format, and black-ink squares are still to be fine-tuned. Please feel free to give constructive criticism :)


AAR Interview Delta7/v/CI-001a

Interviewer: ████ ██████
Interviewed: Maj. ███ DeCastillo
Foreword: Interview transpired approximately 132 hours following incident Delta7/v/CI-001, in which newly-formed Mobile Task Force Delta-7 engaged in combat with combatants of the Chaos Insurgency.

<Begin Log>
Dr. ██████: Thank you for coming, Major.
[Interviewed nods and sits down opposite the interviewer]
Maj. DeCastillo: Good afternoon.
Dr. ██████: Tell me about the operation, from the beginning.
DeCastillo: Well, I was placed in command of MTF Delta-7 a week before, but the OP marked our first real mission. The whole MTF was made up of 20 or so men. Simple mission statement; hunt down GOIs of particular threat to the foundation, report on their whereabouts, call in MTF Nu-7 (Hammer Down) to engage them if necessary.
Dr. ██████: The mission, please.
DeCastillo: Er, right. The Foundation received intel from [DATA EXPUNGED] that a Chaos Insurgency cell was holed up in a house in the [REDACTED] Mountains in Northern Georgia. We loaded up at 06:00, infilled via Humvee half a kilometer from the target. The rest of the distance we had to hike. Hammer Down was standing by with a full platoon, complete with an attack chopper, around a klik to the north. We got in position at just around 07:30, so I called in Nu-7 to conduct the raid.
Dr. ██████: So the mission began as planned?
DeCastillo: Yeah, everything was fine ‘till that insurgent fucker walked out onto the back porch to smoke. Asshole must’ve spotted us just as we were going prone… rest of ‘em came out, and before we knew it we were balls-deep in shit.
Dr. ██████: So you were engaged by insurgent guerilla fighters-
DeCastillo: Like fuckin’ hell they were guerilla. These guys were in full combat gear, I’m talkin' Plate Carriers and Bump helmets. They were yelling commands like they were goddamned Delta Force, and had the gear to match. I've dealt with CI in the past, and I've never so much as heard about any insurgents that well-armed and trained. Fuckers killed three of my operatives, for Christ's sake.
Dr. ██████: Apologies.
[Interviewed pauses for a moment, audably taking a deep sigh]
DeCastillo: Yeah… yeah, whatever. Anyways, we returned fire, tried to gain as much ground as possible, but our CI friends made that a bit difficult. Lost two of my men in the advances alone. It was when they started to hear Nu-7’s attack chopper that they bugged out. The four insurgents that were left loaded into a van and drove off. We heard over comms that the chopper blew it to hell less than a minute later. After that, we searched the house.
Dr. ██████: What did you find?
DeCastillo: Some real scary shit. Found a half-burned map of the area with pins and a knife stuck in it. One of the pins was our exact location. The knife was the exact location of site-[][]. Implications are that they were planning a massive attack. And with men like we encountered, I think they could pull it off.
Dr. ██████: Any idea how they knew the location of that site?
DeCastillo: CI’s no stranger to embedding sleeper agents into the Foundation to gain information. I, personally, found the fact that they were willing to attack an armed site in direct engagement more surprising.
Dr. ██████: And the other pins?
DeCastillo: They all lead to various mountain homes around site-██. Nu-7 raided them at ██:██. All empty, but all showed signs of a hasty pack-and-go. It seems our compromising of their operation spooked them.
Dr. ██████: None of this is in the CI’s MO. Are you sure they were insurgents?
DeCastillo: I thought the same thing. Besides the CI logo stencil spray painted onto the back of their plate carriers, we were able to facially recognize some of the bodies as confirmed Foundation defectors. Intercepted radio chatter matches CI radio tendencies, too, as does the fact that we can’t track their signal. I think they’re becoming confident. I'm not sure that's a good thing for the foundation.
Dr. ██████: Do you think the Chaos Insurgency poses a higher threat, after your experience?
DeCastillo: O5 sure as hell does. Delta-7 only lasted around a week, so it wasn’t hard to assign us a new long-term objective. We’ve been given a significant increase in manpower, so we’re classified as a ‘Battalion-Sized AMTF’, and we’ve been given the assignment of hunting down CI strongholds and establishments and doing as much damage to their infrastructure as possible, with orders to shoot on sight. Even got a kickass nickname. “Discord Hunters”.
Dr. ██████: So you are pleased with the outcome?
DeCastillo: Given the circumstances, yeah. We prevented a potentially devastating attack from taking place, so I'd consider it a pretty good day at the office. It definitely could have been a lot worse.
Dr. ██████: That will be all, Major. Thank you again for your time.
Maj. DeCastillo: Of course.

Afterword: Below is an image cropped from a still-frame of footage captured by a member of MTF Delta-7. Gear and weapons do not match any previous CI tendencies, but later facial recognition of his body confirms his identity as former agent █████ ██████, a known CI defector. Further investigation pending approval by the O5 Council.

(Still trying to figure out how to add images.)
