Primary Objective: Acquisition
Secondary Objective: Subversion
Tertiary Objective: Destruction
Assets Employed: Ama-maalier, Terrin'tuuran, Trusad'an, shi-Targossas
Battle Command: Terrin'tuuran
Outcome: Under Assessment

Comments:

Specimen acquisition by shi-Targossas provided the Secret Storm with sample data from designation Penwize for processing. The refusal of shi-Ashtan to relinquish its guardian specimen required response. Given prior observations of target defiance, the Weapon that Hunts was tasked personally by the Blood Mountain with battlefield deployment in pursuit of the specimen.

The fortress of shi-Ashtan engaged in asset denial to the almighty Tsol'teth through removal of the guardian specimen. Accordingly, shi-Targossas and the Weapon that Hunts were tasked with site acquisition of the anathematic well while the Blood Mountain met forces of shi-Mhaldor alongside the Sword of Hate and Dark Weapon. With resistance to the Blood Mountain inconsequential, as predicted, redeployment in the face of resistance by native shi-Ashtan specimens and limited shi-Eleusis specimens (including the presence of a potential Godline specimen) was enacted. Required use of the Litany of Obedience was enacted by the Dark Hate.

Inexplicable refusal to comply with the glorious truth of the Litany was encountered in all native specimens of shi-Ashtan. Pre-Meld records indicate partial or total resistance to the Litany by all specimens of this type. Our Tide has claimed and processed abominations in the site designated Mhojave. These shall be marked for advanced study, and a counter devised if possible.

Primary objective of acquisition was deemed unattainable. Secondary objective of subversion was deemed unattainable. Tertiary objective of destruction and asset denial was enacted. Prior studies following the acquisition of guardian specimens from shi-Eleusis (present status inconsequential), shi-Targossas (present status alliance), and nahu-s-hailqad-Cyrene (present status inconsequential) enable advanced Terminus of Destruction on suggestion of the Thirst.

Subsequent redeployment of the Blood Mountain, Weapon that Hunts, and shi-Targossas to shi-Mhaldor is covered in additional reports.

Summary: The Tsol'teth forces attacked Ashtan, accompanied by Targossas, intending the capture of its guardian abomination or subversion and placement of Meld shrines in order to control the city. With the Litany of Obedience unable to claim the protectors grouped around Ashtan's shrines, the Blood Mountain instead enacted the tertiary objective of the siege, utilising a previously unknown Terminus word to destroy the Font before withdrawing.
