Operation Glass Maw

Operation Glass Maw is a classified deep-field deployment initiated by InterSleuths following increased anomalous radiation readings and seismic anomalies across irradiated wastelands, a long-abandoned terraforming failure zone..

Local chart-runners and blackbox distress signals report the presence of a subterranean apex lifeform, dubbed the Valikkar, a leviathan-class sand wyrm believed to have mutated through prolonged exposure to residual terraforming isotopes and illegal radiation dumping.

🎯 Mission Objective:

To locate, track, and eliminate the Valikkar entity before its territorial radius breaches neighboring settlements and fringe research outposts. Intelligence indicates the creature’s burrowing pattern is approaching ancient vault-zones rumored to contain pre-Collapse UEE tech, now highly unstable.

🧬 Entity Classification: VALIKKAR

  • Designation: Bio-Anomalous Leviathan (Code: Xenoform-17b "Valikkar")

  • Status: Radiated | Burrowing Apex Predator

  • Size Est.: 150+ meters in length

  • Behavior: Tectonic burrower. Reacts to sound, electromagnetic pulses, and surface vibration.

  • Mutation Profile: Internal biofusion pockets emit enough radiation to scorch and vitrify sand, leaving behind “glass tunnels”—hence the operation's name.

🧭 The Glass Maw Protocol

The InterSleuths Rapid Reaction Cell was dispatched under full radiation containment gear, seismic mapping drones, and strike-capable planetary drop crafts. The creature’s neural structure appears to include radiation-sensory bone latticework, rendering traditional EM-guided weapons unreliable.

Initial contact was made during Phase 1 sub-sand drone surveillance. What followed was a catastrophic loss of signal and a kinetic detonation in Quadrant Echo-3. All hands presumed lost.

The entity did not attack out of defense, but out of recollection. This was not hunger. This was response to something buried.

🔻 Current Status:

Operation Glass Maw remains active and classified.
Teams rotate in and out under psi-warding and decontamination. Every approach into the dunes risks waking what locals now call “The Ancestor Below.”

The worm is more than a beast. It's a biological archive, a radiated echo of the Collapse, and perhaps even the unintended guardian of something beneath the glassed sands.

Last transmission from Pathfinder Carrow:
“It stared up from the pit. But not at me… through me. Like it had seen us before. Like we were a memory it could taste.”

All agents involved in Glass Maw are required to undergo neural echo screening and temporal dissociation testing upon return. The dunes aren’t just irradiated, they're haunted by what time forgot.
