Editing Savage X-COM: X-INT Operations (section)

==Active==

'''EXALT Initial Investigation''': We've now identified a possible group of alien collaborators, known as EXALT from previous intelligence activity, with potential ties to terrorist activity. Members are fanatical, dangerous and operate in long term sleeper cells. But someone must be pulling the strings. We're going to take the information we've acquired from the incident in Portland, and attempt to expand on that.

Update: The dead operatives records prior to three years ago are all fake. But the records since then are legitimate. Tracing the records reveals that all the dead operatives travel to Switzerland at least once a year.<br>

Update: Examining the weapons and helicopters used in the attack has let us trace them back to their source. Ivan Vaslov, a seventy year old former Russian intelligence operative; who works as an arms dealer. He's supplied several storage lockers like the one the EXALT cell used. We're currently tracking his movements and whereabouts.<br>

'''Alien Artifact Trade''': X-INT has become aware that certain rich individuals and corporations have been buying and selling alien artifacts among themselves, a trade known as the Gray Market. Petrubingly, this seems to have been going on since before the invasion began. Long before, in fact, and we've confirmation that some of the artifacts are genuinely alien, and not just clever fakes being sold to people with more dollars than sense. Acquiring these artifacts could be helpful for resarch, as well as clamping down on a trade banned by UN and Council regulations.<br>

Update: Talking to several figures in the underworld was revealed that there's a planned auction at some point in the near future in Hong Kong for an alien artifact, though the sellers and buyers are unknown. Simply getting access to the auction requires a million dollar downpayment. We are reaching out to local police and intelligence networks in China to try to get more details on this.<br>
