AFTER-ACTION REPORT:
Laos Breach Interdiction
AUTHOR: Ravenov, S.

SUMMARY:
On 18 January, KGB Southeast Asia Comms Center received a distress call from an ally in Laos: Zhang Wei, leader of the Shan People’s Army, an opium-funded communist insurgent group operating in the Golden Triangle region with covert logistical support from KGB.

Zhang was captured by rival Shan State Irregulars and held for ransom at their base in the Laotian jungle. A dimensional breach occurred and in the ensuing chaos, Zhang freed himself and radioed his KGB contact for help. The Committee for State Security then tasked Omega Group with the rescue mission.

We were on site in less than 12 hours. By then, Zhang (and everyone else in the S.S.I. camp) was dead. The breach was still active. We began containment and eradication protocols, securing the site within half an hour. My unit suffered no casualties during the operation. They gathered samples requested by the Colonel while I performed a sweep of the area to determine the sequence of events when the breach occurred.

The Shan State Irregulars are violent narco-traffickers with ties to the CIA’s “Air America” opium smuggling operation. They set up their camp near a 13th Century temple at a crossroads for their smuggling routes. In addition to erecting several modern structures on the temple grounds, the S.S.I. posted numerous severed human heads on stakes around the area to warn off trespassers. (These heads were still reanimated when we arrived.)

The S.S.I. had just executed Zhang’s bodyguards when the breach occurred. Zhang himself was locked in a holding cell. The breach necrotized most of the S.S.I. soldiers and all the S.P.A. hanging from nooses. While the remaining Irregulars engaged hostiles, Zhang escaped his cell and snuck to their armory to send his distress call. He died there not long after expending all ammunition in the S.S.I. stockpile.

The breach spontaneously closed two hours after our arrival. Readings indicate the dimensional membrane remains unstable. Recommend the area be made off-limits by the new leader of the Shan People’s Army.
