The Apparatus Does Not Exist

[CO. Slate]

Seven men, seven taglines, one mission.

• Case Officer Slate
  
• Senior Agent Lime
  
• Senior Agent Cyan
  
• Field Agent Forest
  
• Field Agent Cherry
  
• Field Agent Platinum
  
• Field Agent Silver
  

In between the deployment of Lime and Cherry to the Edge Worlds in pursuit of fleeing Insurgency remnants, Cyan, Platinum, and Forest to Liberty proper, and Silver on an investigation, Slate processed their end of days into one document for an analyst to read. In most cases, it was standard "standard sweep, nothing to report", but sometimes, something interesting happened.
