Subject: Incident UCAS-40 W, March 22nd 2073
Author: Lt. Christian Zimmer

Involved:
- Lt. Christian Zimmer
- Sgt. Placido Bajusz
- Sgt. Garlak Mintor
- "Miroslav"
- Unknown male, "hill billy"
- Astral entity, "free spirit"

Following the completion of the Operation, we have evaded capture and used the rented vehicle to drive to Pittsburg. Shortly after crossing the border to Pennsylvania, our car broke down in a farmland. Cursory examination of the engine revealed it having had a mechanical failure - repairable, but requiring tools which were not available to us. 
During our escape, we had disposed of our mobile phones. Therefore, Miroslav astrally projected and alerted the rental company to send assistance. During his projection, Miroslav sustained wounds. Upon re-entry into his body, he reported that he had succeeded in alerting the company of our circumstances, but that he was assaulted by a 'free spirit' en-route. Myself and Sergeant Garlak helped tend to Miroslav, and he made a full recovery.
We proceeded to wait for the help the company sent. Approximately 30 minutes later, we have been assaulted with an arrow from the roadside cornfield. The only casualty on our side was a radio. Sergeant Garlak returned fire, killing the archer. 
I instructed him to confirm whom he had shot. Upon entering the cornfield, we lost visual with him, and he with us, but continued to have radio contact. Miroslav suggested to hold position while he dealt with the free spirit. I complied with the suggestion, and instructed Sergeant Garlak to do the same.
Miroslav forced the spirit to manifest, whereupon me and Sergeant Placido have opened fire with small arms. The spirit was discorporated, and driven back by Miroslav. At that moment, we have regained visual with Sergeant Garlak.
On my orders, Sergeant Garlak resumed his task. He identified the casualty as a 'hill billy' and brought back an 'amulet' (crude crucifix). Miroslav has identified it as a magic item of unknown purpose.
Sergeant Placido cleaned up the site of evidence. Fifteen minutes after the firefight, the assistance the rental company sent showed up. The driver was confused about not spotting us before, but Miroslav explained it vaguely as the fault of a free spirit. Miroslav has implied that the spirit may yet return.
Afterwards, we proceeded to have the car fixed enough so that we could reach an airport and returned to Seattle.
