Greetings, field team. Remember Suburbia? An investigation team was going over the site, working on the assumption that the creature had escaped into the sewer system and would re-surface within a reasonable area and could then be contained. They were supposed to check in every hour and generally maintain eye-contact with another operative.
It's been two hours since our last communication.
In related news, we may have an answer as to why the hemophages we encountered looked so mutated and displayed abnormally resilient qualities. It appears we, and I repeat this is conjecture, may be dealing with Karlsteen's Brood. After 900 years of activity, one does tend to accrue some damage. We originally assumed they had been destroyed in Rio De Janiero in 1991 but it is possible they've simply gone underground in the most literal sense and we've just stumbled into their hiding place.
The foundational lay-out for the housing plan could have disrupted their tupor and woke them, which explains the abnormally high feeding pattern. They weren't gathering victims just for themselves, they were in a frenzied feeding binge to acquire enough sustenance for the entire brood, weakend from years of death-like coma. At last confrontation the Brood numbered 26 plus Karlsteen. You've personally seen to three. Most of them will be weak and famished. If the entire group awakens however, SysWatch helpfully informs us it will the largest hemophage activity spike in 73 years.
Unfortunately at this stage most of our ressources are dealing with the aftermath of Wonglei's Party or tending to the situation in Australia which has ground into stalemate, so while we'd normally drown the site in drones and foam grenades that just not an option at the moment. And sending in the national guard or the military would only be feeding the problem.
Some good news is that there's no grouchy gateguards at this cave system entrance, so you can wear the proper protective plate.
Oliver Murphy
Since there's a minor chance you'll be going up against a class five hemophage and their personal brood, we've elected to throw caution to the wind and break open the emergency lockers.
The specialist gear is marked in teal.
We've also taken the libety of adding some of the ressource we've requisitioned from the Wonglei manor to our standard load-out. The man had quite an affinity for swords it would seem, and we've found multiple copies of pretty exotic old books we're still clearing for proper field duty.
Of special interest are some of the recovered relics. The Shards of Spite align with any thaumathology kit. We're confident the binding will allow minimal demonic influence, but it should help shape your incantantions into the sort of things that leave severe marks. On the other side, some of Wonglei's personal bonsai trees seem to have had a rather... odd pedigree.
The implications are being worked over as we speak.

Finally, there's a minor budget matter. As of our last mission we had 41 operational credits left for this quarter, and some funding for extra research.
We've recieved the outlook for next term and that's +60 credits, so we're up to 101. Some of our research allocation has already paved the way for some exciting new projects and finds, which you can per-use at your own leisure. As these are experimental devices, keep in mind that they are highly limited in quality and often have some.... kinks to work out.
We can also elect to spend our research efforts either on finalizing Werenhoffs ritual circle project or upgrading our camera and uniform suites.
[Ritual Circles] give a standard pool of 5 AP / +2 that any thaumathologist can draw on to fuel spells with in addition to any own.
[Recon Tactics] gives a mapwide +1 evasion and means cleared FoW stays cleared unless deliberately blocked by smoke or enemy action.

Is that +1 for weapons 1, or +1 for weapons 2? Flexible joints is no additional DR, right? Still get the standard 4?
No additional, yes. Standard does apply, that's in the uniform mesh and weave. It's +1 for weapons 2, just having weapons 1 doesn't actually grant another gadget slot.
So it would be weapons 1 (no bonus) then weapons 2, +1 gadget weapons 3, +2 gadgets
The quick-memory is that you have gadget slots equal to 2 + [weapons X-1]. Since weapon selections often depend on availabilty pre-mission, the extra gadget slots ensures you're qualified to bring something even if limited to low end gear and no high tech guns.

Angel Garcia
What, there's only 27 'phages to worry about. You think Claire and I can't handle that many? Pssh, we got this in the bag. Oh god we would die.
Ian Howard
Well, 27... ish.
You did get rid of 3 earlier, which is down to 24. But unfortunately the field trooper team is five people wo are all missing, so we'd go back up to 29.
But luckily it's practically impossible that all of the brood survived hiberating all these years. Karlsteen alone must arise and feed with regularity to preserve its old form, so it's likely a few have been snacked on on the way. And those who are then too weak to move on their own. The weakest get eaten first, so maybe 10 or so are a threat, in total?
But then it's a residential area and there were some rumors of some of the building crew disappearing, plus the hospitals and the homeless population that shrunk. Building up a buffer of expendable minions for taking care of any plots and plans Karlsteen enemies might have laid is sound strategy, so maybe 50?

"Alrighty then. I'll pack some meds for others. Speaking of, I was always wondering, People who have weapons training can grab heavier weapons, right? what if they ditched said weapons for a lighter sidearm? would they be able to carry more stuff?"
You get the one weapon as a free choice in the armory. A lighter sidearm? It would be easier to carry in the field, certainly, but it wouldn't change the underlying paperwork and logistics of the thing. It's still a lethal weapon being checked out. That needs signing.
This isn't really a matter of how much you can physically carry - we trust you to go through the basic conditoning courses - but rather about what you're allowed to requisition at any one time.
We could probably talk the quartermasters into issuing more items if it was felt it was strictly needed to ensure mission success though.

Those are the ones to your right.
This is a cramped environment with broken lines of sight, try not to shoot each other in the back of the head. The night vision will help a little deeper in, and of course you've all got flashlights, but it's still not a good shooting environment.

Are you absolutely sure you don't want to bring the Ghost Bows? It's your prerogative field team, but advanced stage hemophages like Karlsteen are gonna a lot of bullets before they go down. Or some UV Nadexes? We develop these items for a reason, you know.

Liam Howard
Looks like we found the investigation team and the techniciains.
They must have been working widening the access to the interior cave system when they were ambushed. The hemophages waited for them to pause to calibrate the equipment so they were all clustered. Two from the front, but one from behind, hence the confused line of fire. In the panick they tried to retreat, stumbled over each in the cramped interior and didn't get very far.
Only blood is from what looks like a snap shot that hit a friendly. They must have taken the bodies deeper in.
"Command, what are those two orange things I see ahead? The things are brighter in color compared to the walls."
Bentley Davis
Looks like a weird, jagged stalagmite rising from the ground.
Hang on --- no, that's not normal in this area. This cave couldn't have been here for the two-thousand years require for it to reach that size without someone discovering it.
It's dead stone now but Gerean says its the by-product of someone shaping the environment. They must have put the excess stone into the salag sculptures as a way to get rid of it. Looks harmless for now but if it's been worked before its liable to get worked again.
Hudson Ross
>Ready SmartShades >Move 66566 >[Scan] in the 5 direction
That's old bones, operative. Four hundred years or so, judging from the teint. Look at the engorged mandible and the differentiated zygomatic bone; that's a hemophage all right.
The faint residude is the essence not the leaving the body because it's not cleansed by sunlight.
They must have eaten the weakest looking ones for sustenance; which is why they started mutating so rapidly. Feeding on hemophages is... problematic.
Well, scratch one at least. That's some good news.
No hostile entites are currently visible, so it means you recover to Max Ap at the end of the turn.

Which is to say that yes, you may act field operative. Nothing is currently preventing it.
As no hostiles are currently in view, we simply proceed forward at a rapid pace until such a time as you encounter any hostiles or the mission itself is solved when you recover the field team.
Given the amount of bullet holes, shell casings and chemical traces of nitrocellulose, nitroglycerine, and petroleum jelly, it seems likely you will encounter /something/.

A good investigation and some sleuthing reveals that the group was taking by surprise; but that the strung out wires with some still glowing lanterns does lie curled up ahead. The investigation teams weapons are all missing. As are their standard issue grenades. That's not a good sign.
There's also a very faint blood trail that leads off into the right-most passage, faintly scruffed as if something heavy was dragged across it.
A CLUE, definitively. However, if they were foolish enough to take the weapons they also took the thaumathology kits! And someone could track those simply by looking for any resonance with their own forensic kits or some other personal grimoire, a relatively simple action meant to ease in-field teamwork. >A simple [Find] spell for 2 Ap would ping other Vanguard Thaum Kits within 6 hexes.
