​

On March 17th, 2020, I, Patrol-88 and other units, were routinely patrolling all public vectors when dispatch advised that a possible V183 was in progress.

Upon arriving to the area, units made contact with the individuals tagged by dispatch, identifying them as Hendrik Brinkenhaus, tier-4 collaborator, and Frederick Wilson, Tier-D underclass. After detaining both individuals and searching them, they were transported to the holding cells for questioning.

While en-route to the holding cells, dispatch advised that Hendrik was heard stating the following. "You could do the same, I could award you some extra royalties for doing nice things. I could purposefully sabotage someone's work and you'll save their life, I could award you with 'Hero of the Shift' for example.". This was audio recorded by scanner unit C24/Disp:AI-90.

Hendrik and Frederick were separated for questioning. Hendrik was re-located to the interrogation room to be questioned, and the results were the following.

While speaking to Hendrik, I informed him of the line of questioning and offered to lessen some of the charges for his cooperation. He advised that he will be cooperating to the fullest extent. When asked who Frederick was to him, he told me that Frederick was just some "random guy" that he just met on the same day. I asked him what was being spoken about with Frederick, Hendrik replied "That he should work hard to prove himself to the city, to gain ascension and to be a better man. We should all aim for those things, but I told him that he specifically should do so due to his status." He also stated that he "explained that the benefits are really nice, and gave him a watermelon to give him a goal to look forward to, to show him how nice the life could be if you work hard and have the best mindset for the city." I informed Hendrik to be weary of what he says, and his reply was, "I understand that, and I had sworn to always be truthful when I was given my position as Tier-Four. To tell the truth and the truth alone and to not spin stories to make them look better." At this point, I re-stated the recorded audio that scanner C24/Disp:AI-90 advised me of, and Hendrik's reply was, "Uh- I don't recall saying that. It would seem weird for me to say such things to someone I've only met today, right?" Hendrik was given one more opportunity to be truthful, but was insistent on sticking to his story. I concluded the interrogation, then passed on the verdict judgement to ROLLER-35. It is important to note that during the course of this interrogation, the body language of Hendrik was very tense, and that he was trying to subdue any physiological responses that could indicate deception. When asked direct questions, he would only reply with short responses, almost as if his answers were rehearsed.

I then brought Frederick Wilson to the interrogation room to question him. (The player had to leave shortly after, so the interrogation for him was expedited.) When I asked him how he knew Hendrik, he replied that he was new to the city and was just speaking to Hendrik for work. While looking at Frederick's datafile, I observed that he was transferred to the district on 06/10/2019 (OOC date 06/10/2023), indicating that he has been in the district for approximately 9 months. I asked what Hendrik was stating to Frederick during their conversation, and Frederick's reply was that he does not speak English well. No translators were present to provide assistance with the interrogation. I asked Frederick if Hendrik tried to make any deals with him in regards to work, and Frederick stated that no deals were made. When told that some of his conversation with Hendrik was recorded, he acted as if he did not know what I was saying. When I repeated the statement made by Hendrik in regards to the extra benefits, Frederick replied that they "spoke German", and that he does not know what I am saying. I attempted once more to get a German translator, but was unable due to lack of manpower. Frederick was released of custody due to my investigative leads being exhausted.

Roller-35 administered a V183 verdict to Hendrik and revoked his tier-4 collaborator status. Hendrik was also re-educated before being released back to the populace. This report will be forwarded to the appropriate CWU officials to review potential revocation of Hendrik's employment.

No other information is available at this time.

Unit: Union-88

Subject Name and CID:
Jack MacKenzie CID# 34800, Leo Pablo CID# 87407

Reason for detainment:
Investigation of V183, conspiracy.

On March 24th, 2020, I was routinely patrolling the public vectors when a citizen, Sarah Lomarn, approached me and informed me a French male was talking to citizens about forming a group that "resists". When I asked her to bring me to him, she pointed out a male named Leo Pablo, speaking with another male named Jack MacKenzie. I approached the two from behind to listen to their conversation. As I got close, I heard Pablo stating to MacKenzie stating, "That's why we need to make a group." MacKenzie spotted me, then began trying to clear his throat and get Pablo's attention to alert him of my presence. At this point, I detained both individuals and placed them in the holding cells.

With the permission of Jury-35, I was allowed to interrogate Jack MacKenzie.

While speaking to Jack MacKenzie, I offered him the chance to get the charge waved provided he gives me important information. I asked him who the other man was, and MacKenzie stated that it was a "random" guy that walked up to him and started speaking "nonsense". When asked to elaborate, he stated that the man was asking him how he could "whisper". When I accused MacKenzie of withholding information, he stated that he was going to explain his whole couple of minutes. MacKenzie stated, "he came up to me asking how to talk quietly then said I looked like a and this is me quoting him. He said I looked like a resistance member? Then asked where he could find the rest. I-... I have no clue what he's on about. I told him I knew nothing then said he wanted to make a group as he has the materials." I asked why he didn't report this speech to a functionary when Pablo approached him, and MacKenzie stated that he should have reported it to me when I initially approached. I tried to extract more information about their conversation, but MacKenzie insisted that there was nothing further said. I also stated that given the information he's given me, and what I saw personally, there is enough to charge him with conspiracy. Giving him one last effort to provide any valuable information, he said he had nothing. At this point, I was told to expedite the questioning and verdict given the large amount of arrestees in the holding cells waiting to be interrogated. MacKenzie was charged with conspiracy and deducted 20 points.

I was unable to interrogate Leo Pablo given the circumstances. (Multiple Jury units were just talking about giving him NLR since there were so many people in the holding cells. I was unable to find him to proceed with interrogation and charging.)

No other information is available at this time.​

Unit: Defender-88

Subject Name and CID:
Defender-64

Reason for detainment:
Investigation of V183, conspiracy, 415, Civil disunity
​

On April 5th, 2020, I was routinely patrolling the PCS vectors when a citizen who shall not be named in this report, approached me and informed me a male was stating his name to him, along with saying multiple charges he previously obtained aloud. While I was speaking to this male, another white male with a New York accent named REDACTED (Defender-64) approached me to speak with me. After I identified him, he stated that everyone knew who the "citizen" was, and that he was a bad man. After speaking to the both of them, I told them to both cut it out, and if REDACTED were to cause more trouble with any more of the populace, he would be punished accordingly.

Approximately ten minutes after this encounter, I received a request from Lieutenant Jones Duffles, stating that a gray armband and supporter were fighting in PCS-2. When I arrived, I observed REDACTED and an orange grade supporter fighting each other on the floor. I ordered them to stop, then placed them on the wall to search both of their persons. When I asked why they were fighting, REDACTED stated that the supporter was upset that he was calling him by his name. After going back and forth for a little bit, the supporter attacked him, leading to the fight in PCS-2. The supporter stated to me that REDACTED was going around stating his name to him despite never meeting him before. After harassing him for a short while, REDACTED punched him in the throat, leading to the physical altercation.

During this investigation, Lieutenant Duffles and Lieutenant Hamilton were both present. They both advised me that REDACTED approached them unwarranted and addressed them by their ranks and names, despite never meeting them before. All parties involved were growing incredibly suspicious of how REDACTED was getting this information, generating multiple reports to Civil Protection functionaries. As I was investigating the incident, Jury-35 arrived on scene and informed me that REDACTED is functionary Defender-64, and that he is on duty emancipation. Despite this, a search of the unit's personal datafile yielded no results to his identity as a unit, so I detained him and brought him into the interrogation room.

After placing Defender-64 into the interrogation room, I tried speaking to him, asking why he was going around causing a commotion. He made multiple accusations of Hamilton supplying crowbars to citizens in the slums. When I informed him that his reason for duty-emancipation isn't to perform espionage or collect intelligence like an MCP asset, he became defensive and began berating me. At this point I removed myself from the interrogation room and relinquished the rest of the interrogation to Jury-35. While Jury-35 was interrogating Defender-64, I was trying to get in contact with a command unit since none were 10-8. While I was trying to get a hold of a command unit, I heard a struggle coming from inside of the interrogation room. I saw Defender-64 attacking Jury-35, attempting to retrieve his service weapon from his holster. That is when Union-63, Union-95, and myself entered the room to either detain Defender-64, or end the threat. During the struggle, Defender-64 managed to get a hold of Jury-35's service weapon. Defender-64 put the weapon up to his own head, then pulled the trigger without any delay. At the time of him shooting himself, I fired two bullets as he was falling to ensure the threat to myself and the other units was eliminated. At this point, the present units secured the body of Defender-64, and left the room and contained it until a command unit arrived to investigate.

Jury-04 came 10-8 at my request and responded to the scene. Once I informed her of what happened, she cleared the scene and informed of us to clear the room out. This report is being generated for information purposes to all command units.

It should also be noted that despite the outcome of this investigation, Defender-64 had two Memory replacements and still managed to go rogue.


Recommendation: Seeing this encounter from start to finish, I highly recommend a revisal of the Duty-Emancipation award. Based on Defender-64's actions, I believe that the Duty-Emancipation reward should be removed for redemption from all ground units (i3-i5). If it is not removed, I highly recommend a mandatory psych evaluation to determine mental fitness of such freedom, and an in-depth background check of said unit's infractions, unauthorized autonomous actions, and tendencies of insubordination against RL to i3 ranking units.
