I've been off the grid for the past fifteen hours or so now, and with good reason. Over the course of the day, what began as an already significant winter storm has transformed into a fierce and unrelenting blizzard, code named Nemo. Nemo. It's the only thing I've heard over the radio waves the past twelve hours. Nemo. How that word has come to haunt me...
The Canadians are behind the storm. Of this, I'm now sure. Who else could have come up with such a non-threatening name? Who else would be so cruel as to disarm us before sending a viscious blizzard to our doorstep? I can't help but think of my ex-partner Coal. Could he really be involved in this? Could I have really been so blind all this time? A transmission from an old Spec Ops buddy last night has heightened my suspicions, as he made mention of a rogue sect of Canadian terrorists known as the Monsters. It's hard to admit, but Coal does fit the profile. The Monsters are known to be exceptionally skilled at infiltration, so it wouldn't have been all that difficult for him to get a job at headquarters. Fooling a seasoned operative such as myself would've been a little more tricky, but not impossible. I can only hope that it's all in my head. -Nate
P.S. Hammer and Holy, stay safe out there, brothers. Keep your eyes to the North.

All hell broke loose this morning. Nemo took a drastic (albeit not unexpected) turn for the worse, slamming the entire Northeast with heavy snowfall and blustering winds. Despite predictions, 18-24" in Connecticut became upwards of 3 feet in many areas. The safe house I've been holed up in was pounded by 3 feet exactly, trapping me and my compatriots here for the foreseeable future. No matter. This will give me more time to continue my investigation. So far, I feel confident in painting Canada as the perpetrator and Connecticut as the target. The 'why' is still a mystery to me, as is the involvement of any of my peers. At least the storm seems to be dying down finally, and with minor casualties. As far as attacks go, this was pretty weak...more evidence that Canada is to blame. I'll check back when I know more, Nate.

Hammer and Holy are dead. I don't know how it happened. One second I had them on comms and the next they were just...gone. KIA according to sources at headquarters. KIA? How is that possible if they were locked down in the snow just like me? How could they be "Killed in Action" if there was no action? I can only assume there is something headquarters isn't telling me. I need to dig deeper. I need to find out what happened...
Wait. What if this was the plan all along? Think about it. What if the storm was all just a cover? What if they were using the distraction of snow to separate and isolate their real targets: namely Hammer and Holy at this point. Rumors have potentially one or two more operatives dead, though headquarters hasn't made that official yet. Four men down in a span of 4 hours, following a mysterious storm with ties to Canada and the Monsters? It can't be a coincidence. There's something more going on here. And I'm gonna find out exactly what is it. -Nate

Coal is here. I don't know how he found me or what he wants, but he's here. There's no time to think about it. I have to go. Special operatives have been dropping like flies since the storm hit. I'm not planning on being the next one. My fellow hideouts should be safe so long as they stay out of Coal's way. I can't believe he's with them. I can't believe he'd do this. My partner, all those years...a Monster? No, no time to dwell on it. Gotta run. -Nate
