Entry 022 - they were hunting in the pacific

i pulled a thin folio from the footlocker today labeled “liaison intelligence - europe.” i assumed it was just diplomatic cables. but it’s actually a stack of translated memos from the c.e.p. (centre d’expérimentation du pacifique) -- the french nuclear testing authority from the late 1960s.

the public story is that france was building its nuclear deterrent at mururao atoll. the memos don't corroborate that. they're field reports and medical annexes that tie the c.e.p. directly into phoenix operations. the author of several of them is phoenix director claude veyreir.

one memo describes a hygienic detonation. not a test but a targeted strike a manifestation that had blossomed over the atoll. it's the same pattern as wigwag, using nuclear weapons to try and collapse whatever the ants are.

the medical annexes are much worse. they're a mirror project gabriels language, almost line for line. "brûlures du cinquième degré," “chéloïdes atypiques," and repeated references to “pathologies non-radiologiques.” they document the spread of the sef contagion through the local polynesian population, and then they quietly authorize the transfer of "compromised biological assets.” the destination code on one order is just saltbox-utah.

they weren't just building cages in nebraska and utah. they were filling them with people from halfway across the world. pastore wasn't just a broker, they were managing a global human trafficking ring.

this all connects to the latest package from lamb. it contained a thin strip of microfilm. it's an index, crossing french test identifiers with ant manifestations. lamb circled a handful and wrote, in faint pencil: follow the relocations.

i'm not just reading american or russian papers anymore. i'm seeing the same operational shorthand across three continents.

lamb didn't just send the microfilm. there was another card inside. a single set of coordinates and a date range: “mururoa, 1966–1969.” this is what i have to focus on right now.  i have to figure out what happened there.
