SRPA Intelligence Memorandum 8

Subject: Echo team Loses Leader During Operation in New York

22-Dec-52

''In recent weeks Sentinel teams have incurred increasing casualties as they attempt to strike targets within gray territory. Two weeks ago SRPA lost all of Alpha Team when they attempted to infiltrate an enemy command outpost in Bend, Oregon. Earlier this week, two Sentinels on Charlie Team were killed while eliminating a conversion center inside occupied New York City. And yesterday Echo Team's leader, Lt. Hank Leavitt, was killed while attempting to destroy a Stalker production facility in Raleigh, North Carolina. Lt. Nathan Hale has taken his place as leader of Echo Team.''

''Further compounding these difficulties, many of the Sentinels are requiring more advanced forms of inhibitor treatments to keep the Chimeran virus in their bodies in check. Dr. Malikov has warned that conversion is inevitable once infection has taken place - his inhibitor merely serve to slow down the process, or at best to alter its final effects. Dr. Malikov continues to develop new stages of inhibitor serums in order to extend the lives of our Sentinels, but it appears that he can not keep pace with the virus indefinitely.''
