OPERATIONS / FIELD MAP — WRD-66 CASE SECTOR
Classification: LEVEL 5 — RESTRICTED
Distribution: Directorate Eyes Only

ACTIVE SECTOR: WRD-66 — Cult of the Word

  • Codename: “The Fold”

  • Primary Locus: [█████████████████████] Desert Region, Southern California

  • Coordinates: [DATA EXPUNGED] (within 40 km of ███████████ City)

  • Status: Active / Contained within temporal shroud (Dec 25–31, 1999 loop).

  • Access: Directorate-controlled; outer perimeter enforced at 5 km radius.

  • Notes: Only confirmed ingress/egress subject is POI-AND (Father Andrew ██████). Shroud exhibits measurable attractive vector and persistent time-lock phenomena. Site sealed from civilian access under cover of environmental remediation / unexploded ordnance zone.

SUPPORTING SITE — SITE-12B

  • Function: Operational command and observation post for WRD-66.

  • Location: [█████████████] (classified federal facility, repurposed).

  • Assets: Chronotemporal Studies Lab (CT-Lab), analog media vault, Level-4 containment suites.

  • Status: Active. Rotational staffing capped at 30 days.

RELATED HOTSPOTS (REGIONAL)

  • Node 09-A — “Waxfall”

    • Residual wax deposit detected 3.7 km east of WRD-66 perimeter. Sample matches EDN-01 secretion.

    • Hazard: Minor. No anomalous activity since collection.

  • Node 12-C — “Static Ridge”

    • Topographic feature approx. 11 km northwest. Rangers reported radios locking to 1999 frequency bands.

    • Hazard: Moderate. Monitoring via unattended recorders. Civilian approach diverted.

  • Node 14-F — “Mirror Pool”

    • Ephemeral water basin ~19 km south. Local accounts describe reflective surface “turning pages” in ripples.

    • Hazard: Contained. No active intervention required unless spillover observed.

SECURE ARCHIVE — WRD-66 MEDIA STORAGE

  • Facility: CT-Lab Vault (Level-4).

  • Contents: 183 cassette artifacts, 42 film reels, 9 analog photographs, all contaminated with memetic bleed.

  • Protocol: Two-person handling, maximum exposure 120 seconds.

OBSOLETE / RETIRED SITES (NEARBY)

  • Old Highway Outpost: Ranger station 14 km from perimeter. Abandoned after repeated dream contamination in staff. Building sealed under cover of asbestos hazard.

  • Civilian Farmsteads (Cluster ███████): Multiple properties depopulated during late 1990s; records list suicides. Public narrative maintained as economic collapse.

DIRECTORATE ADVISORY

  • Civilians within 25 km radius exhibit elevated incidence of anomalous phraseology and intrusive dream content.

  • Local population density is low; cover narratives remain effective.

  • Any expansion of shroud radius or civilian breach will require escalation to Level-6 clearance and potential reclassification of WRD-66 as continental hazard.

LOCAL COVER STORIES — SITE-12B (WRD-66 PERIMETER)
Classification: LEVEL 4 — CLASSIFIED / NEED-TO-KNOW
Distribution: Law Enforcement Liaison, State Agencies, Federal Land Managers

I. PRIMARY COVER NARRATIVE (PUBLIC FACING)

Designation: Environmental Remediation / Unexploded Ordnance Zone

  • Statement: The Site-12B sector is a restricted government remediation area due to historical ordnance testing and environmental contamination.

  • Talking Points:

    • The area contains unexploded ordnance from mid-20th century training exercises.

    • Soil remediation and hazardous waste recovery are ongoing.

    • Civilian access is restricted for public safety until further notice.

    • Drones and security patrols are part of a Department of Defense contract to ensure safety.

Usage: Provide to hikers, campers, or reporters encountered near perimeter. Avoid elaborating beyond safety language.

II. SECONDARY COVER NARRATIVES (SPECIALIZED AUDIENCES)

  1. For Local Utility Companies (Power / Water / Telecom):

    • Cover: “Infrastructure stress tests” are being conducted under contract with Department of Energy.

    • Explain observed anomalies (flickers, surges) as load-balancing exercises.

    • Provide scripted reassurance: “No impact to residential service expected.”

  2. For Park Rangers / Forestry Services:

    • Cover: “Controlled hazard surveys” are in progress.

    • If asked about drone flights or visible equipment, explain as part of environmental mapping project.

    • Provide standard safety sheet: “Unexploded ordnance may be present; no civilian entry.”

  3. For Local Law Enforcement:

    • Cover: “Federal investigation site.”

    • Emphasize that jurisdiction lies with federal agencies. Provide scripted language: “Our agency is assisting with federal site security.”

    • If pressed: cite “hazardous materials” as legal justification for restricted area.

III. BLACKLISTED PHRASES

Personnel interacting with civilians are prohibited from repeating or validating the following terms, which have been overheard in town or along the desert trails:

  • “The ground hums here.”

  • “We’re almost real.”

  • “The spiral in the sand.”

  • “Pages in the wind.”

Directive: If civilians reference these phrases, immediately classify the encounter as potential memetic exposure and escalate through proper reporting channels. Civilian must be debriefed and screened under cover of medical evaluation.

IV. RESPONSE PROTOCOLS

  • If a hiker approaches perimeter fencing:

    • Direct them to nearest posted signage.

    • Reiterate hazard language.

    • Log the encounter in CIV-INT Register.

  • If local media inquiries are received:

    • Refer all questions to Regional Environmental Office (cover entity).

    • Do not provide names of contractors or agencies on site.

  • If law enforcement demands entry beyond perimeter:

    • Provide sealed letter (Authorization Packet WRD-66/EXT) which confirms jurisdiction transfer.

    • Escalate immediately to Directorate Liaison.

V. LOCAL OBSERVATION NOTES

  • Town of ███████ has recorded increased rumors of “ghost lights” and “static on radios.” Treated as normal bleed for this type of anomaly. Continue monitoring but do not confirm to civilians.

  • Reports of unusual dreams spreading among local teenagers; language mirrors cult terminology. Outreach teams to continue low-profile surveys under public health study cover.

  • Ranger stations within 10 km of the site have been briefed; replacement of non-compliant personnel is ongoing.

VI. REMINDERS FOR SECURITY STAFF

  • Use pre-approved scripts only. Improvisation risks memetic contamination and cover compromise.

  • Civilians are not to be detained unless they cross the 500 m outer ring. If detained, standard medical evaluation cover applies.

  • Always log interactions immediately after contact. Logs are reviewed weekly by Directorate.

  • Rotation of outreach personnel occurs every 21 days to prevent familiarity and narrative drift.

FIELD ANNOTATIONS

  • Perimeter: 5 km exclusion zone enforced. Civilian approach covered under “environmental remediation / unexploded ordnance.”

  • Attraction Vector: Personnel report weak but measurable pull beginning at 50 m. Analog tethering mandatory for probes.

  • Civilian Impact Zone: Town of ███████ flagged for linguistic contamination. Phraseology (“We’re almost real”) noted in adolescents. Outreach ongoing.

  • Archive Control: All contaminated cassettes and analog reels stored in CT-Lab vault under WRD-66/CHAIN. No exceptions.

DIRECTORATE ADVISORY

  • WRD-66 is considered the anchor anomaly of the southern desert grid.

  • All subordinate nodes (Waxfall, Static Ridge, Mirror Pool) may represent bleed vectors from the central shroud.

  • Expansion of anomaly field would compromise current cover narrative. In event of radius growth >5 km, escalation to Level-6 clearance required.
