Monarch PR Plan
TO: Ground Zero Op - All

Hey jarheads,

Just got word from Martin Hatch. Apparently our almighty overlord (jk) Paul Serene has given the greenlight to our PR proposal. We’re implementing a broad PR strategy to deal with the public reaction to the university operation. That means that you will all be working with me directly for the next several hours whether you like it or not (that’s directed at you, DAVE).

First up – news broadcast. I’ve skimmed through the list of witnesses pulled from the university and marked the best candidate to deliver our false confession – AMY FERRERO. Perfect mix of hot and sad puppy. Media will eat her up. Green screen and recording equipment are being prepped as we speak. Time is of the essence. I need that video shot and delivered to me within the next half hour in order to get it to media in time, so get her ready for her fifteen minutes of fame. We’re gonna be pinning all this on Jack Joyce, that wacky little domestic terrorist rascal. Somebody needs to take the fall, right?

The “device that Monarch stole from the university but Charlie isn’t allowed to know any further details about due to his security clearance” has been airlifted to the Ground Zero operation. I’m arranging covert transport to its final destination at Monarch Tower. I’ll be your eye in the sky monitoring traffic to make sure the route is clear. Also, I want my security clearance upgraded once this shit calms down. Level 4? Bullshit.

Still searching for Joyce. Transport disappeared after entering the ground zero perimeter. Digging through our hundreds of camera feeds to see if anything comes up. Even if we can’t locate him ourselves, it’s not like Joyce can go anywhere without somebody spotting him once Ferrero does her thing. Liam Burke is leading the search party on the ground. $5 to anybody who can make Burke smile.

That’s all for now.

The brain to your brawns,

Charlie

Yes, the Fracture has begun, and yes, it will take its inevitable course. But you worry too much. I understand your concerns, but our preparations will be ready by the time it has run its course. Keep in mind that I’ve been to the End of Time; I’ve seen how this plays out. We’ve taken every precaution necessary. Now we just need to make sure that the pieces fall into place.

We cannot cancel the gala tonight. The team needs reassurance that our plan is moving forward without further complications. Even those who aren’t aware of the Lifeboat Protocol need a guarantee that their efforts are not in vain. They need to know that I am in control. The university was only the first step. Now the real work begins.

I am almost finished up at Ground Zero. I will head to the island for my treatment very soon.

I couldn’t have done this without you, Sofia.

Paul,

The Fracture occurred at exactly 4:15am, just as you predicted. However, the stutters seem to be occurring at an alarming rate, much more frequently than we expected. I know better than to question your knowledge on the matter, but I just want to be sure that the timeline you proposed grants us enough time for what must be done.

You didn’t receive your treatment before you left. I can’t stress how important it is that you continue consistent treatments or the efficiency will dwindle. We can’t afford for your sickness to intensify. Not now. Please come to the island to receive your treatment as soon as time permits. I’m worried about you.

Dr. Sofia Amaral

BELINDA WU: ...Ferraro, an eyewitness on the scene. Amy, tell us, what is going on here?

AMY FERRARO: There are people from our group who took things too far. Things got very violent. And that violence was because of Jack Joyce.

BELINDA WU: Sounds like a terrifying scene down there. We really appreciate your bravery going on record to speak out against what appears to be such a dangerous person.

It’s all rumors and conjecture from what I hear. I wasn’t at the university op but there’s no way Joyce took out all those guards. He’s just some random guy, not a trained assassin. The stories floating around make it sound like he’s shooting laser beams out of his goddamn asshole. Anyway, they got Liam Burke hunting him down right now, so I think it’s safe to say Joyce is fucked.

Off the record, I heard Paul Serene has been investigating a potential traitor within Monarch. Somebody’s been accessing all kinds of confidential information. Remember that research Dr. Amaral was doing to find a permanent cure for Serene’s sickness? Rumor has it somebody sabotaged the tests. Had to start over. Just a few weeks later the uni op goes sour. Willing to bet the same person sabotaged us there.

Keep your eyes peeled, man.

Gil,

Were you with Prowler Unit at the uni? Hearing all kinds of rumors that Jack Joyce took out seven squads on his own. They’re saying he’s chronon active without any kind of tech. We’re getting stories about him freezing operators, disappearing into thin air. Even heard one about him being in two places at the same damn time.

I thought it was all bullshit, but we just got word that his transport went missing after it entered Ground Zero perimeter. How the hell does that happen? We got reason to be alarmed? They ain’t telling us shit over here.

OGAWA: This is HQ Alpha. Charlie, I told you to stay off the Operations channel.

WINCOTT: Sure. Clarice, listen. Hatch told me to search for Joyce. I've got footage of Burke taking out a guard in A1. Back of a Monarch truck was left open. Now I’m checking cameras in A3 and guards are either sleeping on the job or... y'know... not sleeping. You know what I’m saying? Catch my drift?

OGAWA: Joyce.

WINCOTT: With a trajectory of kicking over some expensive-ass sand castles. Look, I’m gonna keep looking for him, I'm just giving you a heads up, okay? Over and... over and out, or whatever.

Mr. Hatch,

I’ve been monitoring company email servers and found something interesting. Just thought you might want to know that your golden boy has been a bit snoopy as of late. Attaching his email below:

I’m starting to grow suspicious about what’s going on here. I have a hunch you feel the same way. I’ve been allowed a lot of freedom to come and go in my position, but it comes at a cost of very low clearance. Most members of the team know something I don’t and they’re not eager to share. Tomorrow’s operation is more than a simple retrieval mission. There are dates and times marked with detailed events that are expected to come to pass. I’ve seen charts with “Fracture – 4:15am” labeled. It’s way too much detail for a plan, it’s like it’s all been mapped out. How?

Something big is coming. I can feel it. They told us our directive is to protect our world from dangers that lie ahead. If that’s so then why do I get the feeling there’s something coming that we’re doing absolutely nothing to stop? And if everybody else knows this then why the hell is nobody acting on it? I can’t sit back and watch if there’s even a chance that this could put Emily in danger. I need to know more. Serene won’t answer my messages. Hatch is a closed book. I’m hoping you’re an open one.
