Felicity Affair

The first story arc of the reboot, which took place from May 2, 2023 to November 2, 2023. See Felicity Love.

Gough Ceremony

Recording of the event:

The Gough ceremony took place on September 24th, 2023 on Gough Island. The event was broadcast over all agent systems, rendering them unusable for regular communication between Emtanon employees. The ceremony lasted about 20 minutes and contained:

  • A dramatic helicopter entry by Dr. J Marvin Blackweather and his companion,
  • A memorial of the MELTR3 incident1) and the Delaware Tape Retrieval System fire,
  • A 33-gun salute,
  • A broadcast from the kangaroo court onboard Facility sentencing counter-operatives to imprisonment.
  • Forcible enlisting of Emtanon's Gough Island interns into the Marine Org.

The event was riddled with technical difficulties, with the live feed disconnecting multiple times. It was supposed to end with a grand speech by J, but was cut short by an unforseen visit from the South African navy carrying out a surprise audit of the Gough weather station.

During the memorial, SSTV images of MELTR3 crew were broadcast.

Operation Spice

Operation Spice was a failed WORM operation in Lima, Peru, which aimed to capture and detain counter-operatives from a local hackerspace. Due to mismanagement and several organizational mishaps, the operation led to the capture of agents by the Peruvian cartel, and eventually, thanks to our interference, to the loss of the ship MO3 and defection of the crew of MO5.

The FACILITY Redemption

FACILITY is an old cargo ship that was retrofitted as a prison for the “counter operation” and disobedient Emtanon employees. Threats of detainment there were once common. FACILITY also had a resident “judge” that gave out sentences in “trials” that were certainly free and fair.

Jeff provided us with some passwords to FACILITY's semaphores. On February 10, 2024, we found a semaphore filled with 0xFF bytes; we flipped them to 0x00, having no idea what it'd do. Afterwards, we learned this unlocked all prison cells. Some detainees managed to take control of the bridge and barricade themselves there. We established contact with them over Iris.

At the time, FACILITY was in the South Atlantic Ocean and heading for Gough Island. Hoping to rescue all detainees, we ordered them to set course for the nearest land: Saint Helena. MO2 was dispatched to assist at FACILITY. They managed to remotely disable FACILITY's engines, letting MO2 catch up to her. The detainees who took over the bridge voluntarily surrendered – but not before asking us to unlock all cells again at a specific time.

After the unlocking, the detainees returned to the bridge, killing all its occupants with some sort of chemical weapon they found in a storage. Afterwards, they locked up the surviving crew in the cells. The detainees then set course for the Pacific Ocean, to get away from all the Emtanon assets in the Atlantic.

With FACILITY definitely out of control, J decided that she must be remotely scuttled. We assisted the detainees with disarming the package of explosives aboard the ship, following instructions we intercepted on a terminal months earlier. J personally executed the commands intended to scuttle the ship; he was fooled to believe they worked, while in fact they did nothing. In message 19424, J described the scuttling as FACILITY crew's personal demand.

FACILITY is still out at sea, and remains under control of the former detainees, while her former crew is locked up in the cells.

Operation Guano

Operation Biblioteka

1)
The MELTR3 incident was one of the first events in the original OTP22 chronology, back in 2012. It involved a convoy of ships travelling through the Arctic. One of the ships, MELTR3, was attacked and sank by a pair of MiG aircraft. On board that ship was agent Ai Bouerges, who supposedly died in the incident. The counter-operation assumed her identity while interacting with the agent systems.
