[INTERNAL NSA MEMO]
The following message was sent to the publicly accessible address of the ranking officer of [redacted] Base in NYC. Routed as it was through a series of foreign proxies, we picked it up on a routine search for subjects relating to mutant terrorism.
Due to the sensitive nature of its contents, I thought it best to forward it to you for advice on what to do with it. The recipient has been contacted and is awaiting advisement.

Re: HAMMER Convoy Raid
Hello! Please forward this email to Captain Malthus Rogers of HAMMER, or somebody who knows where his desk is.
I'm really sorry about the trouble, but due to the secrecy and flagrant illegality of his division I have no way of contacting him directly. But I think he was at your base recently? So.
(You can read the rest of this message if you want, but I can't guarantee that it's not classified. I mean, of course it's classified but I dunno what your clearence level is or anything and wouldn't want to get you in trouble.)
Anyways, thanks!
Dear Captain Rogers,
I told this to one of your soldiers, but I don't know if it filtered back to you -- with all the villain theatrics you put on I have no confidence that your soldiers feel safe relaying an admonition from an enemy combatant.
So I figured I ought to tell you myself. Malthus, I am very disappointed in you.
Using the Bloodspider to fight us was risky and irresponsible and I expected better of you. As I'm sure you know, it is as dangerous as it is difficult to contain -- when Prometheus tried to use it as a guard dog it escaped into New York City and started eating children.
What if it had driven us off? I saw nothing in that convoy capable of subduing it. You would have had set a ravenous bloodspider loose on your soldiers and subsequently on Route 83.
We left it buried under a Stryker and a couple tons of rock, but I trust you will exercise due haste and due caution when retrieving it. If I hear about a string of mysterious vampiric murders in rural Virginia, I will be very unhappy.
Yours in opposition,
Tatterhood
P.S: In the future, please restrain yourself from taunting us over video monitors. Trust me, these displays of cartoonish pulp villainy demean you more than they intimidate us. You're an officer: please start acting like it.
Thank you.
