Doc Control HV-FOR-2091-019 Date 2091-07-25 Location Air-freight consolidation hub, eastern transit corridor, South Korea Region Asia Intervention Tier Disrupt Lead Unit Hornet-class flight HV-DRN-05 + field team BRAVO Target Crimson Lantern Imports (HV-TGT-07) Status Disrupted · assets frozen Classification INTERNAL // QUANTUM-ZONE-TASK-FORCE EYES-ONLY

Objective

Intercept live invasive Vespa hornet nests trafficked under falsified edible-insect declarations and surrender to biosecurity.

Summary

NectarNet flagged mislabelled live-insect manifests and MELISSA matched two new Vespa velutina incursion clusters to Crimson Lantern's freight routes. Hornet-class flight HV-DRN-05 held overwatch while field team BRAVO intercepted the consignment at consolidation. Live consignments and manifests only; seized nests were handed intact to quarantine authorities for destruction under chain-of-custody. Each interception logged with origin and timestamp.
