tape recording.
Description:
I knew the Predator’s deployments to Earth would make it impossible to keep all of this a secret. Sooner or later there would be another player on the board. I’d hoped that it would be another agency, one that understood and respected the threat. Project Stargazer. Our initial intelligence on Stargazer was that they were capable, funded, but inexperienced. But they were smart. They took the OWLF’s funding and got it shut down. Everyone we could identify in their group was a disavowed member of another agency, including the OWLF.
Lacking strong leadership and a clear directive, they were sloppy and arrogant. They were aware of the Predator threat and, while they had many of the pieces, they struggled to see the bigger picture. Stargazer was so far behind that we didn’t see them as a threat until the event in Mexico. The recovered Predator escape pod was an extraordinary find for Stargazer, but the death toll was a heavy price to pay for taking a Predator captive. My taskforce has many directives, but one of the most primary is that we do not take captives!
Retrieve technology, corpses, and other intelligence, but there is no value in a live Predator, only liability. The enemy does not want peace. The enemy does not negotiate. Its only drive on Earth is to hunt. What we might learn from a captive predator would never be worth the risk to our people! Stargazer didn’t learn from their mistakes and the technology they’ve recovered has only made them cocky. When the government cut ties to the agency, it should have shuttered their project permanently, but they only shifted their goals.
Guerrilla factions and private military companies are being contracted by Stargazer to set up bases and equipment in locations we’ve identified as ideal hunting grounds. We believe that the former intelligence project is setting itself up to be a fully independent dealer of otherworldly arms. This is the worst-case scenario. Hostile forces will use those weapons on their enemies, and they will use them on us. All the while the true enemy stalks is unseen. It’s a distraction mankind can’t afford. Stargazer will have to be dealt with.
