FROM: Team Leader Marcus Hale m.hale@kgroup.internal

CC: Action Team Command; Department of Nocturnal Affairs
CLASSIFICATION: FIELD OPERATIONS / LEVEL 5 CLEARANCE
PRIORITY: ELEVATED

MISSION DEBRIEF
Handler,
Operation NIGHT STAKE concluded successfully at approximately 0317 local time.
Primary objective was achieved.
The vampire is dead.
Again.
While I understand the Department of Nocturnal Affairs will likely require the phrase "confirmed neutralized" for paperwork purposes, I would like to state for the record that the subject was:
Staked
Decapitated
Burned
Buried
Recovered
Burned a second time
Buried elsewhere
As such, I am cautiously optimistic regarding the outcome.
The team sustained no major casualties.
Agent Morales continues to insist he was bitten.
Medical examination determined the injury was caused by a stapler.
This matter remains a source of tension.

MISSION NOTES
The target was located within an abandoned church approximately twelve kilometers north of Sector 14.
Contrary to prior intelligence reports, the structure contained:
Three coffins
Two vampires
One accountant
The accountant was released after verification of employment records.
The second vampire was determined to be a coat rack.
This was an unfortunate but understandable error given lighting conditions.

POST-OPERATION CONCERNS
It is at this point that I must draw your attention to a matter requiring immediate review.
Specifically:
A POTENTIAL RACCOON INCIDENT.
I want to emphasize that the raccoon situation was not part of the mission parameters.
Nevertheless, the situation now exists.

INCIDENT SUMMARY
At approximately 0342 hours, following successful target neutralization, Team Bravo discovered seven raccoons occupying our extraction vehicle.
The vehicle had been secured.
No signs of forced entry were identified.
The raccoons appeared organized.
One was seated in the driver's position.
Another appeared to be consulting a map.
A third was wearing what may have been reading glasses.
I acknowledge how this sounds.

ESCALATION
Attempts to remove the raccoons were unsuccessful.
The raccoons demonstrated:
Exceptional confidence
Familiarity with vehicle controls
No measurable fear response
Most concerningly, one raccoon appeared to recognize Agent Fletcher by name.
Agent Fletcher denies prior contact.
The raccoon appeared unconvinced.

CURRENT STATUS
At 0406 hours the raccoons vacated the vehicle voluntarily.
Before departing, they removed:
One flashlight
Two energy bars
A classified map of Sector 8
Agent Morales' stapler
The stapler has not been recovered.
This may explain previous events.
The raccoons left behind:
One dead battery
Three acorns
A handwritten note reading:
"WE KNOW ABOUT THE CHEESE."
Handwriting analysis is ongoing.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Open a preliminary Raccoon Assessment Inquiry.
Verify the security of Sector 9 Reserve Cheese Inventory.
Determine whether raccoons are eligible for visitor credentials.
Review all previous incidents involving:
Trash receptacles
Missing batteries
Unexplained strategic behavior
Do not inform the raccoons of this investigation.
They may already be aware of it.

FINAL REMARKS
The vampire threat has been resolved.
The raccoon threat has not.
I am requesting guidance before the situation develops further.
Respectfully,
Marcus Hale
Action Team Leader
K GROUP
