January 26, 2099 -- Weekly Update ***Unclassified***

Our main updates this week are about gaining and losing contact. First the loss, after several reports of escalating dinosaur activity it has now been 4 days since we've heard from Bok's tower and while we hope it was only equipment problems, we do fear the worst. On the bright side, the US Navy is not only broadcasting but also receiving. While it does not look practical to sail the Ticonderoga up the Potomac to provide relief it gives me a great deal of hope to know they are out there. Apparently a number of Dove flights have reached them and they are able to report that Canadian NEMA forces and the RCMP are rallying in Ontario and Quebec. They also report that Russia, Japan, and China a fighting desperate holding battles, similar to those here. Mexico, South America, and Africa seem lost, partially and probably because of a large island that has appeared southeast of Florida. It seems likely that is the cause of our flooding here and more devastating damage as one looks south. The Navy confirms, but we have also heard directly from Germany, they seem to be fighting some sort of winged lizards mostly attacking across the French border. Another direct contact is Charlotte, NC who reports dinosaurs similar to but less numerous than those from Bok's Tower.

For anyone who thinks every threat we face is in the form of a wild animal or dumb monster, please speak to Platoon B-03 and the surviving Murray boys. They fought off a band of 9 foot tall bronze skinned barbarians armed with energy weapons of an alien design. Shockingly the leader of the group had a bionic arm as good or better than anything we could produce. Services for Private Aubree Bergeron and Private Dominic Ambrose will be held Thursday.
