Initiative Strategic Journal — Authored Personally Commander’s Desk | October 22 – November 1, 2022 Clearance Level: Eyes Only

I write this entry under the weight of confirmation.

For years, we operated under hypothesis. Speculation. Shadows and glimpses. That era ended on October 23rd at 04:31 UTC, when orbital surveillance under Initiative control tracked two foreign vessels initiating maneuver into low Earth orbit.

Their vectors, mass profiles, and EM signatures leave no room for interpretation.

They are not ours. They are not of Earth. They are inbound. And they do not ask permission.

This is not theory. This is contact.

The sky is no longer the only domain shifting beneath our feet.

In Uzbekistan, our containment teams continue monitoring the crash site near Tashkent. What they’ve uncovered confirms our deepest concerns: the biological samples recovered do not share lineage with Earth-based evolution. These are not misclassified extremophiles or legacy DNA strands. They are alien organisms—functional, adaptive, active.

Local authorities continue to explain the heightened military activity as internal security reform. But we’ve seen the reports. They are trying to trap something they do not understand.

Meanwhile, our rivals adapt faster than I expected.

On October 25th, through our asset in Astana, we identified Mbhali Kgoloko, a financier working in concert with a new political faction we are now calling the Protectorate. Under the leadership of Kiran Banerjee, former UN human rights commissioner, they are quietly lobbying military leaders and governments across Asia to accept alien supremacy as an inevitability.

Their doctrine is clear: survival through compliance.

They speak in the language of diplomacy, of pragmatism, of order. But make no mistake—they offer managed surrender, not coexistence. Their goal is access, not balance.

Elsewhere, signs of ideological capture are even more overt.

Intelligence intercepts suggest that military commands in Russia, Korea, and Pakistan have realigned. Some are overtly controlled by alien-sympathetic blocs. Others appear fractured. Preliminary evidence indicates that the Servants—a theocratic faction glorifying alien contact as divine revelation—may have seized operational control of Pakistan’s 1st Strike Corps.

They do not rationalize domination. They revere it.

Our own fieldwork continues—with mixed outcomes.

Kalameet Lund attempted influence operations in Afghanistan. The window was narrow. The mission failed. Worse, his identity was compromised. He is now under surveillance, likely by hostile Servant-aligned networks. Extraction planning is underway. We may lose the Afghan vector, but not the man.

Phillip Minton, deployed to Kenya, has made progress. Nairobi's administration is opening to our influence. We are positioned to secure full executive control with one final operation.

Yiyuan Ai continues to outperform expectations. Her augmented sensory processing has yielded clean intelligence. It was she who confirmed Kgoloko’s factional alignment. She will remain in Central Asia for now.

Overlaying all this, a crisis born of Earth itself.

A super-cyclone made landfall in the Kolkata region this week. Power grids are down. Food and transport disrupted. Thousands displaced. In a country already fraying at the political seams, this may become the breach point. I’ve instructed Regional Desk East to initiate contingency planning for cascading state failure scenarios across Bengal and Assam.

But amid the chaos, one critical success: Skywatch is live.

Our surveillance constellation is now linked and operational, offering near-complete orbital awareness. When they return, we’ll see them. We may even anticipate their arrival.

Following activation, our research allies selected a new focus: immersive strategic interfaces. If successful, this initiative will reframe how we command multi-theater operations—from military projection to containment and diplomacy.

That future remains theoretical. But at least now, it has a shape.

I end this entry without illusion.

We are not alone. And we never were.

The universe was not silent. We simply hadn’t learned to listen.

We have looked up. And now, they are looking back.
