The following is the transcript of the comm signals recorded by gatekeeper dispatch during operation tiger claw. this is the only data pertaining to said mission. the units that returned were given special permission not to give a report on the mission for two reasons. the first reason is that a report would be non-relevant to future operations because the caves were sealed by the survivors upon exiting the cave system. The second reason is the psychologists that cleared the survivors advised against bringing up the mission in front of them to avoid psychological remission or insanity.

GATEKEEPER DISPATCH: attention operatives. This is gatekeeper dispatch. Request confirmation that all units are present and accounted for.
WHITE DRAGON 1: dispatch, this is white dragon one. I will be acting as the commanding officer on this mission. All units are present and accounted for. Request permission to proceed with mission as planned.
DISPATCH: white dragon one, you are clear to proceed with operation tiger claw.
WHITE DRAGON 1: acknowledged. Alright, soldiers, listen up! Comm
channel 138-a is the priority command channel. Other than that,
you're free to use other channels for inter-squad communication.
Let's move out!

RED ZAPSPARK 4: hey, dragon one, this is red zapspark four. Sarge wants to go check on the phantom squads. They've been quiet for too long.
WHITE DRAGON 1: *Kssshhh*confirmed.*kssshhh*report*kssshhh*
RED ZAPSPARK 4: roger that. We'll tell you as soon as we find something.

channel two hours later.

RED ZAPSPARK 4: uhhh... Dragon? I found what's left of the phantom squads...
WHITE DRAGON 1: *kssshhh*survivors*kssshhh*wounded?
RED ZAPSPARK 4: no survivors that I can see. I don't really see any whole bodies, either. Just lots of scattered body parts...
WHITE DRAGON 1: *kssshhh*nature*kssshhh*wounds.
RED ZAPSPARK 4: looks like they were literally torn apart... And a lot of them have acid burns and deep gouges in their armor. Whatever did this to them ripped through a piece of esned-4 like it was paper. I didn't think that was possible without using a thirty-foot long railgun and plasma bolts... I recommend we retreat and vaporize the entire place from orbit. Whatever's in here doesn't belong in
the natural world...
WHITE DRAGON 1: *kssshhh*idea. *kssshhh*units prepare for evac.*kssshhh*orbital bombardment.
RED ZAPSPARK 4: just go. We'll catch up with you.
WHITE DRAGON 1: negative. *kssshhh*rules state*kssshhh*left behind.
RED ZAPSPARK 4: screw that! If you have to, leave behind a Valkyrie squad or two. Just get out of this cave as fast as possible. Whatever did this went through three veteran phantom squads before they had time to send a distress call. I really don't like this.
>//: comm channel unused for a period of 1.2 hours.
RED ZAPSPARK 4: DRAGON! WHY DID YOU LEAVE BEHIND A WHOLE COMBAT PLATOON?
WHITE DRAGON 1: *kssshhh*standard rearguard*kssshhh*
RED ZAPSPARK 4: well, I appreciate the thought, but I don't like having two Valkyrie squads, another zapspark squad, and a freaking XENOBEAST SQUAD to watch out for. No offense to you all, but I think we could have made it to the surface by ourselves.
WHITE DRAGON 1: *kssshhh* late now.*kssshhh* with it.
RED ZAPSPARK 4: ok, fine, but you all had better keep up. I don't want to be here when that thing decides it wants more food.
SILVER VALKRYE 1: *kssshhh*
RED ZAPSPARK 4: let's move out.

RED ZAPSPARK 4: attention all gatekeepers! this is red zapspark five. Rook-I mean red zapspark four- is dead, along with most of our group. the only survivors are myself, two silver Valkyries, and a brown xenobeast. is anyone out there?
WHITE DRAGON 1: *kssshhh* attacked. *kssshhh* of us left.
RED ZAPSPARK 4: ok. stay where you are. we're about ten minutes away from your position.
WHITE DRAGON 1: *kssshhh*
RED ZAPSPARK 4: moving out.

>//: note: do not approach these gatekeepers with questions regarding operation tiger claw. they will not answer you. other than the survivors, only the keyholders know the full story as told by the survivors, backed up by private comm channel voice data and helmet camera video data. the keyholders have deemed this information to be dangerous to 99% of all beings that view it, so the information was destroyed.
