Hotspots — Rapid Reference (what teams should know)

  • Hollow’s Bridge (HB-01): cultural vector; civilian trespass spikes at night. Patrol schedule: 2200–0200 local shift. Use cover story: infrastructure works.

  • Site Ω perimeter: evidence of time-slippage residue (frost/char). Do not approach without dampening cradle. Any resonance spike → immediate 300m evacuation.

  • Carfax Outskirts: DRAC-23 cameo in Clarke logs justifies UV kits and metal-reinforced threshold deployables. Avoid enclosed shelter nearby after sundown.

  • Appalachian Ridge: increased olfactory reports (wet fur, iron). Deploy sonic grenades and silver-tipped tranquils for nonlethal capture.

  • Bayou Parish waterways: erratic acoustic signatures; boats to carry salt sachets + acoustic decoy boxes. Avoid night patrols alone.

Transit Corridors & Safe Routes

  • Primary Transit: CVB-B3 ⇄ SH-02 ⇄ Site Ω (sealed convoy route R-3). Convoy window: 0200–0500 local; employ temporal damping cradle for device movement.

  • Alternate Route (civilian cover): Highway A → Hollow bypass → SH-02. Use civilian plates; maintain OPSEC.

  • Evac Corridors: In resonance events, evac to RS-C1 (sim lab) for spectro containment before transfer to CVB-B3. Do not transport device through populated centers.

Allocation of Resources (Immediate)

  • Chrono Vault B: continuous passive monitoring; 2 rotating Level-5 technicians onsite; remote alarms to Directorate.

  • Site Ω: secure 24/7 perimeter with armored units; on-site forensic team (for 72 hrs, then rotate). No unscheduled entry.

  • Regional Armory: issue 20 UV lamp packs, 150 silver-tipped darts, 40 sonic grenades to SH-02. Replenish weekly.

  • Psych & Memetics: double the debrief slots; mandatory inoculation refreshers every 7 days for TM-01 assigned staff.

Patrol Schedule (Sample — rotate teams A/B/C)

  • 0200–0800 — Night ops: team Alpha (perimeter & resonance watch) — check vault spectrograms at 0300 & 0600.

  • 0800–1600 — Day ops: team Bravo (forensics / simulated playback only via spectro pipeline).

  • 1600–0200 — Twilight ops: team Charlie (community liaison, Hollow’s Bridge cover) — check civilian reports; enforce cover story.

Contingency Triggers & Immediate Actions

  1. Resonance Spike ≥ 1.5g: immediate site lockdown. Evacuate nonessential staff to RS-C1. Activate memetic screens. Notify Directorate.

  2. Unidentified vehicle near Site Ω within 1 km: deploy mobile observation and attempt IDs; consider hostile retrieval attempt.

  3. Subject Adrian Clarke sighted: DO NOT ENGAGE SOLO. Containment team to employ memetic dampeners, nonlethal capture protocol; stage extraction to SH-02 then CVB-B3. Notify Level-6.

  4. Companion/entity sighted (Morlock/Drac/Wolfman indicators): follow field reference cards; use UV/silver/sonic per entity. Evacuate civilians; quarantine airspace.

Intelligence Notes (Cross-File Links)

  • Clarke logs include cameo references that informed Directorate awareness of DRAC-23, WLF-72, COTW-19, ART-78. See TM-01 / CrossRef Annex D (sealed).

  • Missing components likely moved through salvage/academic channels — Investigations lead to list of 12 vendors within 200-mile radius (Ops hold).

  • Local rumor vectors: Hollow’s Bridge and ghost tours can BECOME contagion points for memetic spread. Public Affairs to maintain constant narrative control.

Operational Recommendations (Short)

  • Continue no-hardware doctrine: simulations only.

  • Prioritize recovery of missing components only if intel indicates safe retrieval without reassembly.

  • Expand memetic screening capacity by +50% for next 30 days.

  • Prepare a Level-7 approval packet for any proposed rescue simulation; do not conduct rescue attempts without Directorate sign-off.

Note, quietly: if Adrian did go where he said he did, the map above is our best guess at where his echoes will bleed back into ours. Don’t romanticize the search — prepare for the hard, boring work of locking doors, swapping batteries, and arguing in meeting rooms about whether the hum was real.
