Spy Crab: A Government Conspiracy?

In the early 1970’s the Blu team lost their foothold in the area surrounding a town code named “2Fort.” What remained of the Blu team Headquarters was left to rot for what is now 30 years. As the Blu team began to push back the Red team, investigations into the old Blu team’s HQ began. During one expedition, a report addressed to Blu high command was discovered.  The following is an exact duplicate of the document.

The following cannot be accountable for any inaccuracies as it shows signs of being tampered with.

Monthly Report

This past month has had our men running rampant with confusion. Of late our intel has continuously pointed towards the suspicion of a government controlled agent. This government controlled agent, or “GCA”, only appears on our radar due to its bizarre behavior. The said GCA uses multiple disguises to blend in with our military personal-not only infiltrating our bases and recovering our intel, but mingling among the men earning trust of every soldier until it has secured a position of trust where no one will suspect said GCA. While every resource we can pull together is spent on locating the GCA, it is hard to find an exact drawing of it. This difficulty is due to its believed ability to “cloak.” This is believed to be the most accurate sketch at this time.

As of now this is all we can come up with. For the next few days we will put Sgt. Nick on his trail.

Report Update 001:

We have made major strides towards finding out the identity of the GCA. During the first section of this report we detailed that Sgt. Nick, one of our top soldiers, is on the case. However he fails where the GCA exceeds, and that’s mingling with the men. One might refer to Sgt. Nick as a lone wolf.  When he was approached by a shady agent of our own, he grew very suspicious. Using the only technique he knew, he killed the agent, much to the dismay of those spectating.

Will update when we get more information on the GCA.

Report Update 002:

After performing an autopsy on the suspected agent it turns out he was not the GCA we are looking for. Sgt. Nick is now on indefinite leave with pay while we sort this out.

Back to the GCA problem, we are growing closer to figuring out what it looks like. Yesterday the guards on post duty noticed a shadow crossing the lawn. This is our current color sketch of the GCA after combining previous sketches and information from the “shadow figure” incident.

Our security cameras have been knocked out so this is the best we could come up with.  It is believed the mask in hand is what the GCA uses to disguise itself as a friendly. The weapon, code named “The Ambassador,” is thought to be the spy’s weapon of choice due to the gunshot wounds found in injured soldiers of late.

A potential breakthrough in the case has just occurred. Will update report tomorrow with any additional information we find.

Report Update 003:

The GCA has slipped up and accidentally gotten itself caught on camera. The following picture is photographic evidence of the definite form of the GCA.

This photo was recovered, soon after a kill made by the GCA, by a sentry in standby mode. While we are having trouble pinpointing the GCA’s exact current location, we have reason to believe that it stays out in the open more than in hiding. However, we are having trouble figuring out how our men are not noticing it. Our scientists are attempting to replicate the means by which the GCA is able to “hide in a plain site” but all efforts have failed.

Our research in the GCA’s unique espionage style has led us to believe that it closely mimics an animal to blend in. Most likely it moves slowly and moves in a horizontal fashion. This is very odd timing due to the amount of crabs recently seen near the bomb carts who share a similar movement pattern. We will have to conduct research on these crabs as to they may be linked to the GCA.

Once again, will be updating in the next few days. Hopefully with the GCA captured.

Report Update 004:

It is now evident the GCA mimics the movement of a crab. Silent and slow but can go unnoticed without much trouble. During the battle of Pipeline we noticed a shimmering shape near the cart in what looked like a man crouching and walking like a crab. Our security camera, now back online, caught a glimpse of the shimmering figure in the following photograph.

With this photographic evidence, it is now clear that this is not just a government controlled agent it is a government conspiracy against crabs. It’s the perfect plan! Create an agent so skilled it can mimic that of an animal. But why pick crab? Crab night! The most eagerly anticipated annual dinner of the Blu team. Have the team’s favorite meal turn against them and boom it hits their morale like a sack of potatoes in the head. We will investigate further as soon as the situation allows.
Will update soon.

Report Update 005:

We still have yet to capture the GCA, which we have renamed to “Spy Crab”. However, all suspicious activities surrounding the “Spy Crab” have ceased. It is almost as though the “Spy Crab” has vanished into thin air. Even without the “Spy Crab” in our custody we have enough information to pin the government for a conspiracy against crabs.  Once again Operation D.I.G.S (Discover Important Government Secrets) has been a partial success.

    Do you mean undisclosed? If not, to whom are you disclosing?

    “sight”, not “site”
    “personnel”, not “personal”

    @ Brood “Disclosed: to make known or public” Very beginning covers that. I had planned on having “un” in front of disclosed, but have it marked out so it looks tampered with. however that was cutting it close with the connection.

    its better to put on a lot of antialias when you’re taking actual ingame screenshot

    Nice and creative

    Ok so I won’t lie, I thought the concept was cool but the execution was.. well somewhat off.

    “Location: Disclosed”, for instance, whether intentional or not, just feels wrong to read.

    And calling the Soldier Sgt. Nick seems kind of weird, as this is tf2, and nobody has a name.

    And then there’s more subtle stuff like overuse of GCA and general diction, stuff like “mingling among the men earning trust of every soldier until it has secured a position of trust where no one will suspect said GCA” feels odd to read.
    I don’t know if anyone other than me consciously picks up on this stuff though.

    However I liked the ideas behind it and thought it was generally amusing, so keep up the good work!
