Operation Daisy Cutter

 Operation Daisy Cutter 

Operation Daisy Cutter was the largest armed operation the Overseers have launched. It spanned from february 21st, 1961 until november 2nd, 1961, on  Severny Island, Novaya Zemlya, Russia (former USSR). The operation began when on february 19th Paranormal Investigation Units #9 & 11 confirmed the presence of a number of highly aggressive and dangerous nocturnal humanoid creatures. The creatures were named “Nightclimbers” due to their nocturnal lifestyle and ability to scale any vertical surface. Containment Force #8 “Jailbreakers” and Task Force Rho-13 “Reapers in the dark” have been dispatched to deal with the targets. 7 specimens were successfully placed in temporary containment, however 4 broke out and were terminated by Rho-13. Dissection revealed chitin-like skin, which made them impervious to small arms fire. On february 24th, Rho-13 discovered a hive-like object spanning roughly 460 meters in diameter on Sukhoy Nos cape. Realising this, several other Task Force units have been dispatched to deal with the threat, and were eventually unsuccessful, leading to the total destruction of Task Force Units Alpha-5 & 6, Delta-5 and Epsilon-14, as well as Airborne Task Force Unit Golf-1. After that, on May 14th, the Overseer Council has approached USSR High Command and explained the threat. The joint operation was then carried out by the USSR Armored Battalions 2 & 3, Rifle Division 4 and the remainder of active Overseer Task Force Units in the area. The mission was deemed another failure when both armored battalions were almost completely annihilated by Nightclimbers, and the hive was still standing. After this, on October 26th, a thermonuclear strike was authorised by USSR High Command and was carried out on October 30th. The mission, in the end, was deemed a success when, on november 2nd, Task Force Unit Delta-6 “Nuke crew” sweeped the area and found no trace of remaining Nightclimber presence. The operation was later covered up and written off as nuclear testing.
