USAIMPCOM MISSION REPORT #C766
OPERATION OBJECTIVE: Focus Dispatch/Containment
DATE: [REDACTED]
OPERATION STATUS: Complete

IMPCOM field operatives and commanders in conjunction with local authorities attempted to contain Focus #766 (Unidentified White Caucasian Male [Probably from Britain based on eyewitness accounts. Checking through missing persons reports and/or Network Footage for identification], Ex-Con) in front of a local supermarket parking lot. Focus #776 had been under observation for suspicious activity. Probabiliy Breakdown Manifestation suspected and confirmed as a Class 8 Manifestation (Joker-Level). #776 confirmed mentally unstable on confrontation.
Local authorities surrounded #776 in the parking lot and awaited IMPCOM operatives, as per instructed orders [REF: "Executive Order I-18609-C"]. Operatives were on-route when #776 physically assaulted a police officer who attempted to apprehend the Focus manually, without support. Police officer was killed in the altercation. Local authorities opened fire on #776, to little effect. After-action reports indicate that the expended ammunition appeared to "redirect into the air, swarm into a flock, and migrate south with a overflying group of waterfowl" [REF: "AAR D-776-#22"]. #776 responded to attempted attacks with laughter, derision, taunting.
IMPCOM Operatives arrived, replaced local authorities in cordon, instructed local authorities to initiate evacuation procedures in immediate area. On-hand Police Negotiator (Dr. Richard Mayworth) initiated communication with #776 via a delivered hand-held radio. Conversation recorded as follows:

Mayworth: "Hello, can you hear me fine?"
#776: "Loud and louder. Loud and louder."
Mayworth: "I'll try to speak more softly, if that's what you mean."
#776: "Maybe."
Mayworth: "We're here to help you. Will you comply and stand down? We can help you."
#776: "Help? Help with what?"
Mayworth: "Your... condition."
#776: "Condition? Condition? I don't condition, thanks. I'm bald."
Mayworth: "That's right, you are. What I meant was the fact that you've been transferring mass and energy through the use of improbability fields. You know that you shouldn't be able to do it, don't you?"
#776: "Shouldn't? Can't? What does that mean? I could on the island and look at me now. They said it'd stop, but it didn't, and now it feels right. It's you all that shouldn't."
Mayworth: "Why don't you surrender? We aren't here to hurt you. We only want to help you. We can make this stop."
#776: "Try and stop me. I've seen shit you can't even imagine. I've fought lions. You're nothing. A rookie with an inflated sense of self-importance who's never so much as fought his own tongue."
Mayworth: "Why don't we talk about your time on the island?"
#776: "No."
Mayworth: "Do you have friends there, still? Or family?"
#776: "No. No."
Mayworth: "Is everything all right?"
#776: "No. I want to go home."
Mayworth: "We can help you get home. Just let me come in and help you. We can get you help, son."
#776: "You can?"
Mayworth: "We can, please. Can we get you anything? Some tea?"

At this point, the radio was destroyed as #776 threw it to the ground and proceeded to dismantle it. Reports indicate that the radio "dismantled itself". Clean-up of the area discovered that the radio had been stripped down to it's component parts and laid out in a series of complex shapes [REF: Photos #247-341]. #776 began his assault immediately following this act. Several IMPCOM Operatives were injured as their weapons jammed or failed in other ways. Operatives worked to subdue #776. #776 proved to be extremely agile, and begain Manifesting various Class-8 abilities, including turning IMPCOM Operatives's jumpsuits into angry animals (mostly ferrets) and causing several IMPCOM Operatives to be rendered unconscious/badly injured from medium-range kinetic force attacks. IMPCOM Operatives managed to subdue #776 using a syringe loaded with "Anti-Improbability Serum" [REF: IMPCOM R&D #A44]. #776 perished after injection due to a reaction to Serum [Post-Mortem Autopsy revealed that #776's GI tract had turned into PVC piping]. Operatives and Local Medical personnel removed #776 after injection, attempted recessutation. #776 was pronounced dead at scene. #776's body was airlifted to [REDACTED] Airport and sent to IMPCOM R&D for examination. Area decontamination/cleanup followed, as well as debriefing for all involved parties.

END REPORT
RECOMMENDATIONS: Failure to properly brief local authorities on proper containment procedure is to blame for the death of the officer. Negotiator's lack of knowledge about Island likely to blame for #776's sudden turn from passive hostility to direct aggression. Re-issue training manuals to local authorities. Recommend acquiring IMPCOM-trained Negotiators/Psychologists for future missions.
