After Action Report - August 9th, 1999
AAR: KSSA interception of LUM signals.
August 9th, 1999 Benton, KY
Conducted by Sgt. Calamari
Objective: Intercept radio signals sent from St. Memphis/Luminescent (StM/LUM) outposts to their field agents in an attempt to gather any information of value.
Execution: Utilizing local assets we were able to transport KSSA and Survivor operatives into the Benton, KY region. Upon arrival the radio tower was secured, and as expected the zeds were drawn to the increased movement and noise made by people in the area. Fortifications were installed, and after a perimeter check was executed and several breach events, additional locations around the station were reinforced. A storm in the area reduced our capabilities to intercept radio signals and communicate with survivors between Benton and Sanctuary, though we found ourselves unable to break through their encryption. Not a total loss, we were able to gather enough information for us to gain access to the frequency used by LUM operatives to locate supply caches. We’ve provided this frequency to survivors and they should now be alerted whenever a nearly LUM cache pings its location. This should allow us to intercept these supply caches for ourselves. While some of them are empty when we do arrive at their location this is to be expected since we’re pirating their signals for our own benefit.
Casualties: No casualties outside of expectations were seen at this event, and LUM pod technology continues to operate within normal parameters.
Next steps: We will continue to attempt to intercept and break the encryption on signals we are able to intercept from StM/LUM in hopes of finding additional information and resources for us to utilize.
