OPERATION "SEVERANCE" PROPOSAL
DURING A TWO-WEEK PERIOD WITHIN THE U.E.C. HEADQUARTERS, OPERATIVES FROM THE M.E.G. SPECIAL DIVISION "CERULEAN EDICT" HAVE BEEN OBSERVING ACTIVITY IN REGARDS TO THE AGREEMENT FORMED BY TWO MEMBERS OF THE U.E.C. "THE HANDS OF ATHENA" AND A MAN NOW IDENTIFIED AS AMADEUS LUDWIG STEELE, AN IRON FIST LEADER AND A PROMINENT GODHAND VESSEL. STEELE HAS BEEN GREATLY SPEARHEADING THE EFFORTS OF "GODHAND" IN RECENT TIMES, NO LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AT LEAST, AND ACTS AS THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GODHAND AND OTHER GROUPS OF INTEREST. DESPITE PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THE VIOLENT NATURE OF PHENOMENON 55 - "GODHAND", STEELE HAS RETAINED MOST IF NOT ALL COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS AFTER HIS ASCENSION TO THE STATUS OF GODHAND VESSEL. THE IDENTITIES OF BOTH U.E.C. LEADERS STILL REMAIN UNKNOWN, BUT MOST DETAILS OF THE AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED WITH THE HELP OF THE ETERNAL REPOSITORY. THE ACQUIRED INFORMATION STATES THAT THE U.E.C. IS DIRECTLY SPONSORING A "MASS-ERADICATION PROCESS" IN THE BACKROOMS LED BY NONE OTHER THAN GODHAND ITSELF. IT SEEMS THAT IN EXCHANGE FOR THIS "MASS-ERADICATION PROCESS", STEELE HAS COMPROMISED A SIZEABLE PORTION OF THE U.E.C.'S MANPOWER THAT IS TO BE INDOCTRINATED INTO THE WAYS OF GODHAND. DESPITE THIS DANGEROUS MOVEMENT AGAINST THE ENTIRETY OF THE BACKROOMS, THERE SEEMS TO BE NO OTHER INTENTION THAT THE GODHAND VESSELS ARE PLOTTING OTHER THAN THE DISPLAY OF THEIR VIOLENT TRADITION IN ORDER TO GROW STRONGER. WHILE WE, THE M.E.G., DO NOT KNOW THE FULL EXTENT OF PHENOMENON 55, IT IS STILL IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO RALLY ALL FORCES AND ALLIES TO SEVER THE HAND OF GOD WHILE IT IS STILL YOUNG.
OPERATION "SEVERANCE" WILL HAVE THREE MAIN PHASES WHILE IT IS ACTIVE.
PHASE ONE WILL INCLUDE THE INTERNAL REORGANIZATION AND TRANSFERRING OF ALL M.E.G. FORCES IN THE MAIN BASES; PERSONNEL FROM ALL OUTPOSTS THAT ARE STATIONED IN ENTITY-INFESTED AREAS AND ALL OUTPOSTS THAT ARE WITHIN THE VICINITY OF GODHAND AND U.E.C. SETTLEMENTS WILL BE WITHDRAWN IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT QUESTION. UNLESS ALL BASES ARE IN PROPER CONDITION, OPERATION "SEVERANCE" WILL NOT MOVE TO PHASE TWO. ONCE ALL REQUIREMENTS MANDATED BY THE OVERSIGHT COUNCIL ARE MET, PHASE TWO WILL PROCEED.
PHASE TWO WILL BE THE PROCESS OF GATHERING AND GARNERING ALLIES. IT IS NECESSARY FOR A TIME SUCH AS THIS TO COOPERATE WITH ONE ANOTHER AND UNITE TO FACE A COMMON ENEMY. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF PHASE TWO IS TO SPREAD OUT OUR DEFENSE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT OVERSTRETCHING RESOURCES AND MANPOWER SO AS TO CREATE A ZONE OF SAFETY THAT ALL PEOPLE COULD EVACUATE TO. WE MUST ESPECIALLY SUPPORT AREAS THAT ARE NEAR GODHAND AND U.E.C. SETTLEMENTS, AS THEY ARE THE MOST PRONE TO CONCENTRATED ATTACKS. IN THE CASE THAT NO OTHER GROUP IS INTERESTED TO ASSIST US IN OUR DEFENSE, WE WILL DENSIFY OUR TERRITORIES EVEN FURTHER UNTIL SUFFICIENT PROTECTION AGAINST GODHAND AND THE U.E.C. IS ESTABLISHED. UNLESS 50% OF THEIR TOTAL FORCE IS EXHAUSTED, PHASE THREE WILL NOT COMMENCE. ONCE THIS REQUIREMENT IS MET, PHASE THREE WILL PROCEED.
PHASE THREE WILL BE THE COUNTER-ATTACK. VANGUARD FORCES WILL ALL BE FUNNELED TOWARD AREAS WITH HIGH GODHAND AND U.E.C. ACTIVITY WHILE REARGUARD FORCES WILL SOLELY REMAIN ON THE DEFENSE UNTIL AN AREA IS GUARANTEED TO BE TAKEN AND CONTROLLED. ONCE ALL VANGUARD FORCES ARE IN THEIR POSITIONS, THE OFFENSE WILL COMMENCE. THE OBJECTIVES OF PHASE THREE ARE TO CAPTURE ALL MAIN SECTORS OF THE U.E.C., FIND THE TWO U.E.C. LEADERS WHO FORMED THE AGREEMENT, AND HUNT DOWN AMADEUS LUDWIG STEELE. IN THE CASE THAT STEELE HAS RECONNECTED WITH THE REST OF THE GODHAND VESSELS, ALL SEARCH PARTIES AND MANHUNT GROUPS ARE TO CEASE THEIR PURSUIT OF HIM IMMEDIATELY AND RENDEZVOUS BACK TO BASE ALPHA. UNLESS THERE ARE REMNANT FORCES OF GODHAND AND THE U.E.C. STILL ACTIVE, OPERATION "SEVERANCE" IS NOT DEEMED FINISHED. UNTIL THE TWO U.E.C. LEADERS ARE PROSECUTED FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, OPERATION "SEVERANCE" IS NOT DEEMED FINISHED. UNLESS AMADEUS LUDWIG STEELE IS IMPRISONED FOR AT LEAST 100 YEARS FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, OPERATION "SEVERANCE" IS NOT DEEMED FINISHED. IN THE CASE THAT STEELE RECONNECTS WITH THE OTHER GODHAND VESSELS, THIS STATEMENT IS ANNULLED.
ONCE OPERATION "SEVERANCE" IS FINISHED, ALL M.E.G. FORCES WILL BE RELOCATED BACK INTO THEIR PROPER STATIONS WITH NEW EQUIPMENT AND NECESSITIES, ALL M.E.G. ALLIES WILL BE REWARDED HANDSOMELY FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS, AND RESEARCH ON PHENOMENON 55 WILL BEGIN. GODHAND CAPTIVES THAT RETAIN BASIC COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS SUCH AS TALKING WILL BE QUESTIONED COMPREHENSIVELY ON GODHAND AND EXTRACT AS MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THE GODHAND VESSELS.
ADDENDUM: UPDATES WILL BE GIVEN VIA THE SAME TERMINAL THIS PROPOSAL IS SENT IN.
