2020-10-10 Solaris AAR: Thunder Plains

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

---

SCENE LOG:	Like Hell and High Lightning
LOCATION:	Thunder Plains
PARTICIPANTS:	CAP Voss, Gwen Whitlock, Ratatoskr, 'Spring Breeze (Ragnell), Kaguya
DESCRIPTION:	Search conducted among the plains for Azoth; individuals encountered
PRE-EVENT SUMMARY:	Special asset Azoth did not return after the battle in Cardon Forest; information indicated he traveled through the Main Gate to Spira. With no word or sign of him in Spira since, it has been determined a high-priority task to find and if necessary retrieve Azoth.
EVENT SUMMARY:	Proceeded to location with personnel: the site in question dampens communications in and out of the region due to the heavy electrical storms. Armies from Althena's Guard and Yevon are conducting battle in the region: use of Filgaian (and possibly Veruni) armaments noted. Encountered individuals while attempting to sweep the plains for signs of Azoth; this happened after I was separated from the others, who later returned to the lake base without further incident. Of note, 'Filament' (Gwen) claimed that Azoth and 'Spicule' (Lan) had been captured by Yevon and were imprisoned within the city of Bevelle along with others. I was able to remove myself from the plains without significant incident in time.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:	Verify the statement from 'Filament'. Following that, collect information about likely outcomes and site integrity. We could breach the site or sneak in depending on conditions but only if either course is warranted. 'Filament' is likely to endure most potential damage done due to his nature but significant ruin may make retrieving his core difficult.
COMMENTS:	Additional notes: Ratatoskr is a Metal Demon. Report on Kaguya, 'Spring Breeze' added to the development queue.
