Sitrep: DMZ, Substation Codename “Fairfax”
The People’s Democratic Squirrel Army made another incursion into the DMZ during the last two weeks, interrupting the Communications Apparatus for Broadcasting Level 3 Emergencies
(C.A.B.L.E), raiding stores of nuts and grain, made two attempts on the life of this writer, and possibly stole a 1996 Camaro. Total casualties stand at 2 dead enemy soldiers and one wounded. Defense personnel have escaped with 0 fatalties, though there are wounded personnel deserving of awards for bravery.
There are indications that the PDSA have been recruiting among the other rodent classes in an attempt to infiltrate and subvert our operations. I am saddened to report that this effort has been somewhat successful and that Squirrel operatives managed to co-opt one of the Squirrel Defense personnel. The investigation is ongoing, however it appears that Welbywife has been working for the enemy, perhaps unwittingly.
Report #1
C.A.B.L.E Interruption:
Squirrel operatives apparently managed to break into a C.A.B.L.E broadcasting area and used thier Titanium Death Teeth to chew through some vital communications lines, leaving the Fairfax DMZ station without C.A.B.L.E. for nearly 3 hours. One of the rodent operatives was apprehended on the scene after being injured by electric shock, another died during a failed rescue attempt, having fallen victim to the Rat Trap 3000.
So far interrogation of the surviving operative has revealed little useful information. The rat only squeaks when questioned. The language of the rats is difficult. Linguistics experts from the Fairfax Language Institute have translated the squeakings variously as “Might I have a small amount of cheese, Please?”; “I don’t know anything. I was just hanging out with my friend Paco and the next thing I know I was here”; and lastly “Rotten Opressors of the great Rodent Cause! I will feast on your spleens and leave pellets of my crap in your noses!”
Personally, I beleive that the last translation is the correct one.
Further reports to follow via this message line.
