Attached Files

FLASH 91762P-06 included nine attached files related to Onyx and Zone 67. Kurt was given access to these using the code word PATRIOT-SEVEN-BLUE. However, he was only able to read six of the files before his holographic projector was rendered inoperable by a distant explosion. These files were, in order:

• Field Report A76344
• Field Report A79052
• Order 178.8.64.007
• ONI Field Report A84110
• ONI Field Report C384409
• Order 276.8.91.848

Production note

FLASH 91762P-06 incorrectly refers to Kurt Ambrose as a Lieutenant. As he had been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander by 2552, this is presumably an error or oversight.
