The X-Project

Everyone has been safely retrieved. Forge was badly hurt, and Clarice evaced him to a hospital in the city. He's in surgery; Clarice will let us know as soon as there's news.

I'm sure the news that this was a Brotherhood set-up has made the rounds of those of you who stayed by now. We'll need to wait on mission reports before we sit down to figure out what went wrong and what changes, if any, we need to make to how we operate. I don't want any second-guessing until we have actual information to work with. That includes any replies to this post.

Farther down the list of priorities, but still worth mentioning, is that we are without transportation for the foreseeable future. I haven't had much time to go over the 'Bird's wreckage, but I don't see any way it can be repaired. That's another challenge to tackle later.

I'd suggest that we all try and get some sleep. I don't think many of us had much (or any) last night.

The Blackbird's gone down. I was just heading into the Situation Room to check on their ETA when the automated crash signal came in. We've got no coms contact with the team in it.

I want everyone on standby, trainees included; I'll call down who I need when I've arranged transportation.
