Intelligence briefing:
Summary – Planitronics facility located at 11109 100th St SE, Snohomish is a medium to high security property owned by Planitronics, LLC, a sub-division of MediaMoguls Productions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Horizon.
Analysis:
Note – these conclusions are supported by observation and anecdotal accounts.
Planitronics now owns a light manufacturing facility that formerly belonged to Cross Applied Technologies. An overview was reconstructed from the drone surveillance and is presented in Figure 1. Items of note are the “Guard House�, ‘C’; the main facility, ‘E’; and an outbuilding ‘F’. Sensor signatures suggest that this outbuilding may be the HVAC plant for the main facility. Locations marked ‘G’ are 10 meter tall lighting fixtures; these likely have security sensors. Data extracted from the records filed by CATco and confirmed by XXXXXXX indicate the layout of the primary facility as shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4.
Physical:
The property consists of 0.30 sq KM of real estate with one paved access road to 100 th Street SE, Snohomish (see fig. 1.) Within this sub-section there are three buildings and a parking area within a perimeter fence and a smaller parking area along a “circle drive� outside the perimeter fence.
Security Procedures Encountered:
Our operative placed a camera south of 100 t h Street South East <Across from access road>. The camera was placed overhead to give a clear line of sight to the facility, and the feed stored for remote download. <surveillance feed 1, 129728 sec, time stamp 0 = Tuesday, October 7, 2070, 03:28:40 index 16300 = Tuesday, October 7, 2070, 08:00:00> Our review of the feed is summarized below:
Daily events:
Vehicles begin arriving between 07:00 and 07:30 – those arriving before 07:30 proceed to park/loiter in small parking area (B, fig. 1.) At 07:30 vehicles begin to enter gate, vehicle traffic sporadic until 09:20. Note: Security shift change occurs at 08:00 – a Snohomish Security passenger van arrives 07:50 – 08:05 and parks in small parking area. Eight people debark and enter through security gate. Within 20 minutes, eight people get into van and leave. An exception was Tuesday, October 7, 2070, 08:05, the van did not park immediately but rather pulled up to the barricade to debark passengers; afterwards parking in the small parking area.
Two or three vehicles arrive between 10:43 and 10:51, parking in the small parking area. The occupants appear to wait until 11:00 before approaching the security gate as a group of six individuals.
XXXXXXXXX, our internal informant employed by Merry Maids of Snohomish confirms that this group is Merry Maids, and that Planitronics policy is “… we’re not allowed inside until 11:00…� she goes on to confirm our observations that the Merry Maids are escorted as a group into and out of the facility. She also confirmed that the irregular appearance of someone unloading a large cart into the dumpster (A, fig. 1) is a Merry Maid employee. At approximately 12:30 (12:29 to 12:43) this group of Merry Maids is escorted back to the security gate and allowed to leave.
Vehicle traffic is almost non-existent until 15:08, when traffic increases. Vehicles arriving prior to 15:30 park/loiter in the small parking area. After 15:30 vehicles begin entering through the security gate. Vehicle traffic is sporadic until 15:32, when vehicles begin departing (generally in roughly the same order as they arrived.) A Snohomish Security passenger van arrives 15:45 – 15:52 and parks in small parking area. Eight people debark and enter through security gate. Within 23 minutes, eight people get into van and leave. By 17:20 all vehicles have finished entering/exiting the security gate.
At 23:31 vehicles begin departing. A Snohomish Security passenger van arrives 23:43 – 23:56 and parks in small parking area. Eight people debark and enter through security gate. Within 19 minutes, eight people get into van and leave. By 01:12 all vehicles that entered the security gate have departed.
Other observations:
Oct. 8, 09:24 – Index 91443.25 – A van marked “Eddie’s Snacks� arrives and is inspected and allowed to enter the gate. It leaves at 10:18 after being inspected again.
Drone Reconnaissance:
Our operative flew a reconnaissance drone to the Planitronics facility on Oct. 7 th, With the following results:
“I skimmed the drone in low from about 0.5 km out, recording sensor data. I got an AR beacon warning that I was in restricted airspace at 0.2 km. I accomplished an overflight, but after the first pass over the facility I had to play tag with a rotodrone until I bugged out. I recovered my drone and launched a blimp, orbiting at 200 meters altitude and 250 meters radius from the facility. This yielded good data for the remainder of my timeslot.�
File attachments:
Drone 1 recording – Oct. 7, 11:44 to 12:01
Drone 2 recording – Oct. 7, 13:27 to 15:27
Astral Reconnaissance:
Our operative projected to the facility on Oct. 8 th, her report:
“The facility has a very low background. Astral highlights are the buildings; the guard shack, (fig. 1, C) and outbuilding (fig. 1, F) are warded in their entirety. The main building has a ward on the entrance. There is a spirit patrolling. I didn’t approach very closely, but none of the auras I saw seemed active – except the spirit.�
Matrix Reconnaissance:
XXXXXXX conducted her research Oct. 6 th, her report:
Initial searches were fruitless. Review of the ownership data suggested MediaMoguls, which led to Horizon. Probing Horizon netted some useful information on Planitronics, including data indicating that Planitronics is primarly a post-production facility for MediaMoguls studio operations and an access ID for the post-production node. Using this information I tried to access the node but was discovered while I was trying to break the encryption on the datastream. I spoofed and dropped connection.
On my next attempt I was able to bypass MediaMoguls systems and stealthed my way to the communications node I had been in – there was a Spider patrolling and additional IC authenticating all connections, not wanting to cause a higher alert status I logged out.

Highlights of XXXXXXXXX’s debriefing:
Subject confirms ground floor (fig. 2) and first below ground floor (fig. 3) layouts, second below ground floor hallway layout (fig. 4). Subject says the 2 nd basement is a restricted access area. Merry Maids personnel are only allowed to collect trash from a bin located in the maintenance closet on that floor.
