Mr. Blackburn,
I apologize for bothering you, but I happened across something that may be of interest. It’s an unencrypted military transcript circa 1944 straight out of the front in Europe. Some American troops in Bastogne received some interesting orders. Very paranoid, hush hush kind of stuff.
It looks like Allied command had some details about an incoming German assault and a plan to shore up their defenses. They had a special unit of soldiers ready to deploy at a moment’s notice, but the funny thing is that I can’t find any records of this unit anywhere. They are ghosts to the world, for all intents and purposes.
The soldiers were ordered to hold their positions at all costs. Not unusual. Bastogne was a stronghold for the Allies. What interested me was their order to ask no questions of command or this special unit. They had a mission to attend to in Bastogne and it seems they intended to complete it with “the strength of hell itself” whatever that means. It felt more like a desperate plea than an order, honestly. Command seemed very clear that the unit would not speak on their purpose and that “wicked things” would happen if they were impeded. I’ve also never seen a more devoted cry for forgiveness in official orders before.
I can’t make heads or tails of the last part, so this is partially to get some fresh eyes looking at it. It’s all in Latin. There are some strange warnings in there about a cleansing fire. It’s too fanatical for an order from Allied command. It looks like it was scrawled in after the fact, maybe by someone on the ground in Bastogne.
While it is extremely compelling, it’s also giving me a feeling of great discomfort. I ask for you to review it at your earliest convenience, but try not to dwell on it very long. Let me know if you think it’s worth digging into further.

Arkangel and SULIS stand to threaten the entire world if they aren’t stopped.
Secrets that were buried long in the past are coming back to haunt us now. If we want to put a stop to their plans, we must return to where it all started and understand what they hid.
Bastogne, Belgium. Winter 1944. The Battle of the Bulge. If the troops that day are to be believed, a squadron of demons descended upon them and completely routed the Germans. Their true purpose was unclear, but it seems that SULIS has made moves to put whatever plans they had then into motion now.
Zain. Casper. Boris. Lis. Falck. I need the best on this. I’m sending you to figure out what SULIS buried 100 years ago. With enough luck, we’ll be able to turn it against them.
We’re on the knife’s edge here. Please don’t let me down.
