Remote Debriefing Notes
The transcribed audio record of Principle Warrant Officer Bersten Dessalines was acquired remotely, rather than via a drone upload, as operational elevation at the extreme reach of Operation Redoubt, as well as out-of-control, man-made, global cooling, was rendered impractical by the convergence of these extremes.
For the printed transcript, made possible by Polycorp Solutions, Dessalines’ operational monologue, recorded into his sympathetic implant—necessarily aloud, as internal monologue reception remains in Clinical Trial Tier 2—in Nephilinde, for preservation of operational security, is rendered in italic.
Visual impressions drawn from the onboard video array, routed through Principle Warrant Officer Dessalines’ navigational implant, utilizing Polycorp 360 Command-and-Control Navigational Geotechnology have been transcribed in bold in order to draw more in-depth operational conclusions.

The rush-bounded lake to the east contrasts lushly with the snow-crowned face of the Rocky Mountains to the west, as the Justice Server, one ten-wheeled vehicle built for maximum ruggedness and accordion-hitched in the middle into two distinct sections to facilitate squad maneuver, rumbled quietly along the fallow pavement. Where detours off the fallow pavement are required due to rutting or pitting, the Polycorp Green Friendly tire treading insures minimum damage to grass and other plant life impacted during transit. Minimal-ecological impact transportation navigation takes the Justice Server #42 north from Community Denver through Node Loveland…
We were told in the Social Justice Academy that no person is a hero, that no person rises above lest he be pushed up from the ranks by those whose shoulders he stands upon. Well, as a graduate at the top of my class I now find myself among a collection of throwbacks to a more primitive age, men who have been insistent since my introduction as their new commanding officer, that they are in fact heroes. These men refuse to take commands according to their Community Identification, their Service Designation or their Operational Rank.
According to Systemic Oppression Recognition Protocol Beta, I am therefore consenting to their demands for heroic status.
Additionally, according to Systemic Oppression Recognition Protocol Alpha, I am, in the interests of minimizing internal operational friction, consenting to induction into their own naming and ranking tradition, myself, a process which does not recognize one’s Social Justice Rating or Thought Purity Index, but rather seems to have some deep-seated, anthropological origin which was not covered in my graduate coursework.
Justice Server #42 has been unfortunately spray-painted black, and, with white spray-paint—totally compromising any possibility of functional camouflage—has been named Ghost Snatcher. These men refuse to identify the remnants of Ancestral Privilege according to their traditional designation, and name them “ghosts” which I find quite disturbing. However, noting that I have been given the most experienced crew in the Justice Service, I feel compassion-bound to abide by the barbaric traditions which these long-toiling veterans of the JS insist comprise the key to their storied success.
