AFTER ACTION REPORT (AAR) SOLARIAN SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND (SOLSOC) Prepared by Elhaym van Houten Authorized for release to Gebler Special Exploratory Group (SEG) (Clearance-confirmed contractors included)

---

SCENE LOG:	Great Balls of Fire
LOCATION:	Araxa, Aveh Lamb settlement infested by Wels
PARTICIPANTS:	2LT Voss, 2LT van Houten, Neriah Parringer, Rosaline Calice, Elena, Amelia Theodore, Fei Fong Wong
DESCRIPTION:	Eliminate Wels infestation.
PRE-EVENT SUMMARY:	Under the direction of LT Voss, we entered a -Wels--infested settlement at Point X39.81.20/Y92.44.14, previously known as "Araxa." A Granas detachment as well as Voss (in disguise) and myself along with Fei Fong Wong (in order to cultivate the connection).
EVENT SUMMARY:	In the course of our investigations, we learned a few things. The Reapers seemed to be entering the area through a subterranean access point in a large sinkhole. Based on previous sites we've investigated, I would theorize that there is some sort of subterranean network - possibly ancient placer mines or some other access system - which is how they are managing to appear in so many locations. The site has been sterilized due to an unfortunately over-enthusiastic usage of explosive compounds by the Granas clerisy on site, which interacted with great force with an improvised fuel-air explosive intended to sterilize and collapse the main Reaper access point. It is possible to deceive the Reapers with certain visual highlights. This may have been a fortunate accident, but I've attached a record for analysis. ((Image attachment: An improvised speed-painting of an access tunnel, taken from several angles. There is a Reaper in frame for several of the pictures, but something seems to have happened to it in the last two. Something of a GIANT ICE SPIKE persuasion.))
RECOMMENDED ACTION:	None specified.
COMMENTS:	See previous report.
