The Conflict

Deployment

A team of people have been brought together from the countries listed in the report. These individuals have come to be called Divers are tasked with entering the area and removing it of the enemies found throughout, a secondary team of military personnel are tasked to join with them to secure the area and rescue any survivors found.

Battlefield

This incursion was fought in the streets of London, leading to the Tower Bridge. It was held in an urban setting but those tasked were ready to enter the river as well and deal with enemies there.

Conditions

Entering the area the team reported feeling damp and weighed down by the pressure, it has been found with the Opening of the Door, the environment changed to fit the inhabitants that now exited it and threatened the city.

The Engagement

The first engagement was in a pastry shop several miles out of the destination, a large creature the size of a bull was found eating the baker who owned the shop. This creature looked to be a large octopus with chitinous tentacles with hooked barbs underneath with the suction cups, the baker would have died to the venom with no realization. Moving on, the team would engage with targets similar to the first encounter, each as familiar and alien as the last.

Outcome

Once the team had reached the target destination, Location of Incident in Report, they had found it unable to closed normally and proceeded to secure the area while awaiting further orders and backup.   The final push in attempt to deal with the Door was to send the initial team into it to see if their was a mechanism on the other side to close it. The environment found on the other side were alien and deadly as it opened into an underwater realm with walls of coral and bone, the monsters found inside were as dangerous as they were outside but now they fought in their environment. Hours came and went before the team returned in rough conditions to report all monsters were defeated and the Door closed soon after.
