On the authorization of Spetsgruppa
Omega Operatsiya Izbavitel: To Colonel
Lev Kravchenko per order of Viktor
Chebrikov, Chairman for State Security
Effective 11 January 1985 KGB Spetsgruppa Omega has approval from the Chairing Committee to proceed with Operatsiya Izbavitel. Approval has been granted for the following procedures.
The recovery of Sergeant Kazimir Zykov, of the 1st Guards Tank Army, from the Dark Aether dimension.
The construction of a Particle Accelerator, the intended purpose of which is to breach the Dark Aether to recover Sergeant Zykov.
The construction of a Dimensional Amplifier, the intended purpose of which is to identify Sergeant Zykov’s exact location in the Dark Aether.
The interrogation of Sergeant Zykov to identify the location of the dimensional entity identified as The Forsaken. Omega is authorized to use any methods deemed necessary to acquire this information.
The delivery of Sergeant Zykov to our holding facility in Moscow for further interrogation, and to undergo “cultural reassimilation.”
The use of the Particle Accelerator and Dimensional Amplifier to acquire The Forsaken from the Dark Aether.
The construction of a Containment Chamber to hold the Forsaken for secure transport to Omega’s Moscow Facility. The entity is to remain in containment until subservience has been achieved through reprogramming.
The deployment of the Forsaken as a weapon to target our enemies in the West. Locations will be identified at a later date.
It should be noted that the approval for this operation was not unanimous. Those who voted against cited the exorbitant costs of Omega’s operations, as well as their limited success rate. Although Omega has had more successes than failures, the costs of each failure has been higher than that of any other department.
Additionally, multiple members of the Chairing Committee have expressed concerns about Omega’s greater mission. They feel that, despite the technological potential offered by Aetherium, these last eighteen months have demonstrated the risks of investing in the Dark Aether outweigh the reward.
In short, Colonel – the future of this department is staked on this operation. Do not fail.
