REQUEST FOR PAPERWORK

From: Military Research Operations, Bryce Canyon To: SRPA Hall of Records

Due to the tragic chain of events that transpire with subject Jordan Adam Shepherd, we are shifting our focus to his potential usefulness in the future. The private will serve as a key component in our never-ending quest to fend off European invaders before they reach our shores. However, the nature of his role can never be divulged to those without proper security clearance; even his family must believe that he was killed in action.

Therefore, we are requesting a series of documents that will be essential in maintaining our cover. First, we need to fabricate reassignment papers to convince Shepherd's family that he is shipping off to Europe imme- diately. Next, we will proceed with the standard protocol as if the private were gunned down in battle while sta- tioned in Luxembourg (hand-delivered telegram, death cer- tificate, insurance policy payout, etc.).

Please begin drafting the aforementioned papers ASAP.
