Almost done, but one quick note:

I'm not exactly the expert on this sort of thing -- for that you'll have to check in with Sam Carter when you get to Liberty Island -- but remember that there's any number of other ways to open a door, including using explosives or finding a security computer.

UNATCO STEALTH GUIDELINES
Overview



Stealth is a vital component of all UNATCO operations; when implemented correctly, stealth missions result in the lowest possible ratio of agent and civilian casualties to hostile losses.

Situational awareness is key, and agents should not only be familiar with the tactical opportunities offered by their immediate environment, but how those opportunities can be exploited to their advantage with the appropriate equipment. Tech goggles allow agents to operate in low-light environments such as offices or labs where illumination might otherwise attract attention. With binoculars, an agent can survey an opponent's disposition and determine the best way to evade or eliminate their defenses. A rifle or crossbow equipped with scope and silencing modifications can be used to interdict targets from a considerable distance, significantly compromising hostile resistance.

Other features of the environment can also be used by an agent to enhance their ability to operate covertly or to create useful distractions: disabling security cameras, subverting autoguns, and reprogramming bots are all viable tactics employed by experienced agents in the field.


Liberty Island & UNATCO HQ (first visit)

Brother,

I've set up the cameras in the statue ruins...a hasty defense, but since we won't be here long, it should work.  The security computer login is: NSF001.  The password is: smashthestate

JANINE'S BOTS
SPECS AND OVERVIEW

MATSU-GRAVAS GV-4 "NIGHTINGALE" MEDICAL BOT

The Matsu-Gravas GV-4 is the newest addition to the M-G line, their first foray into the medical bot category largely monopolized by Page Industries and Chiang subsidiary HealTech. Unlike the competing Page or HealTech units, the M-G GV-4 benefits from a completely proprietary operating system -- developed at M-G's research campus in Prague -- that promises to revolutionize automated healing by combing a comprehensive medical and pharmaceutical database with M-G's already proven autonomous heuristics routines. While actual field data is sketchy at this point in time, anecdotal evidence suggest that the GV-4 can heal wounds far beyond the capabilities of the current model, though it does require a substantial recharging period...

Battery Park (first visit)

Commander Grimaldi -- we liberated two canisters of this stuff along with the Ambrosia during the Liberty Island raid, but none of our people are quite sure what it is or what to do with it -- possibly a biological or chemical agent, but without proper people and equipment there's no way to tell.  Lebedev suggested we keep one of the canisters and a barrel of Ambrosia here as a contingency; the rest was shipped out to the airfield an hour ago.

Killian

Commander Grimaldi:

I've completed installation of the security measures: code for the primary lock is 666. I'm heading out to help Commander Frase's team prepare for the counter strike. In the meanwhile, my best advice is keep your head down. It's going to get real messy, real fast.

All Proud Members of the NSF: Our time is fast approaching; what we have always feared is upon us, have no doubt -- we are fighting against our own imminent slavery. But you are Brave, you are Strong, and we will Triumph.

A temporary office has been arranged in the warehouse basement for the coordination of equipment, armament, and other supplies. We request that each member report to the office to be fitted with a telemetry rig prior to proceeding to your assigned post. The office code is 9923.

JL

Commander Weld: Code for the warehouse basement ramp is 2577.  Setting up the security grid is absolute first priority -- the assault on Liberty Island will be commencing shortly and we can expect an armed response within short order.  Until the mission objective can be offloaded, the generator must be protected.  It's our last line of defense.

MATSU-GRAVAS R-118 REPAIR BOT

The Matsu-Gravas R-118 is characteristic of all bots in the M-G repair line, an autonomous unit capable of a wide range of repair, maintenance, and construction tasks. By default, the R-118 is equipped with a Kroya 'Searchlight 3' argon laser attached to the standard M-G IRL arm; Chiang optics and visual processing; a self-recharging bioelectric battery; wireless command control; and 16GB of internal memory for a superior amount of task customization at an affordable price. The bioelectric interface adheres to the same LITE standard pioneered by M-G and adopted by most other companies around the world, allowing all units in the R-line to act as mobile bioelectric rechargers if necessary...

Young,

If you or Decker need to access my account the login is "etodd" and the password is "saintmary"

Be careful, and I'll find you after all this is over,

Erin

Jonny,

We changed all the security passwords while you were out sick (what happened to those Hearst family genes you're always boasting about, huh?), so if you need to logon before I get back I'll give you a hint -- it's what you're behind all the damn time. Think about it, smart guy, and you owe me a beer.

Later,
Erin

Erin, the Ambrosia's been delivered and the first barrel is being offloaded onto the helicopter -- the other barrels are heading out by boat and plane so we can hopefully get at least one sample away for analysis. If you can, rendevoussicsic with us at one of the departure points, otherwise you know where to meet if something goes wrong. You've done a lot for the cause and should be proud of yourself. Now play it safe and get gone.

JL

Young:

I've got to survey the perimeter -- reports are coming back of someone heading this way through the tunnels. Don't know what their force composition is, but it sounds bad. If I'm not back, load up the Ambrosia as soon as the boat arrives and then head for the hangar -- the East Gate is locked, so get the key. I'll meet you there.

-Decker

Juan asked me for the hanger code, Decker, so it's 5914.  Tell Young not to get his ass shot off --you know how I feel about him.  And I _will_ kill you if something happens.

Take care,

Erin

Juan,

Decker let me know that Killian dropped off a canister recovered during the operation...Decker wasn't sure what it was, but he put it in a suspension crate on board the plane, coded to 9905, figured you'd know what to do with it.

See you soon,

ONE WORLD BANKING 3 Plaza One, New York
"The future of banking is One World."

Mr. Renton,

As requested, we've provided you with a copy of your bank account and PIN number. We appreciate your business and look forward to answering any other questions you might have.

Account #: 487659 Pin #: 249087

Please keep this record in a secure location to prevent unauthorized use of your account.

Young:

I've got to assist our forces at the airfield, but I've pepped the security grid here in case of attack -- if UNATCO does breach our perimeter, log in TJefferson with the password NEWREVOLUTION and activate it immediately.  It should buy you some time, at least long enough to get to the airfield.  I know Erin is looking forward to seeing you again.  Don't dissapoint her.

-Decker

All:

I've released halon gas into the computer room to prevent any fires breaking out in case of assault -- obviously, anyone entering the room unprotected will suffocate.  Use a hazmat suit, or pump out the gas before entering if you need to perform any maintenance.

-Decker

Paul, I'm Sending this message from the plane -- UNATCO has been even more ruthless than we'd feared and the reports I'm receiving now are that our people are being slaughtered in the tunnels; it's probably only a matter of time before I'm captured and executed, and I don't doubt that they'll kill everyone they can back at our headquarters.

If you find this, you must get a message out to our people.  Align the communications dishes using the satellite dish computer -- the login is MCOLLINS and the password is REVOLUTION.  Nearby is the actual communications console; log in using NAPOLEON and the same password, and a coded warning will automatically be bounced to everyone on our network

I can hear the gunshots.  They've reached the plane.  I'm sorry I won't be able to thank you in person -- you've done so much for the peoples of the world.

JL

Juan, I have a feeling that -- one way or another -- my time here is short, and I think my loyalties are being questioned.  The inevitable complications from the raid are only going to raise more doubts, so I've pulled together everything I could access without raising additional suspicions.

Attached you should find information linking SimonsManderley, and other high ranking members of UNATCO through covert communications and a series of monetary payments.  If you check the records, over c10,000 a month is being placed in an anonymous Zurich account routinely accessed by Manderley  -- the payments were slick, being dispersed through a number of shell companies and orbital banks, but they all originate with companies in which Simons has a controlling interest if you follow the trail far enough back.

I also manages to document some of UNATCO's less than shining operations, including their role in the Statue Bombing.  Most disturbing is further verification of Tracer's suspicion that UNATCO may not only be involved with the distribution of Ambrosia but also with the Gray Death in some way.

I've given a copy of all this same material to Jock with orders to deliver it to Tracer if things get as bad as I think they might.  Be careful.

SPECS AND OVERVIEW

PAGE BRAVO-3 PEACEBRINGER

The Page Industries Bravo-3 Peacebringer is an affordable security and patrol bot that combines a bipedal frame with an air-cooled mini-gun that utilizes the 7.62x51mm NATO round.  While the AI is limited in it's capabilities, it is more than adequate to the needs of most security -- and many military --forces around the world, having been deployed in such troubled hot spots as Hong Kong, Chicago, New-York, New Delhi, Moscow, and Paris.  Like almost all bots designed to maneuver in urban environments, the Bravo-3 employs a radar imaging system for situational awareness, but unlike previous models in the Peacebringer line the Bravo-3 is now equipped with a RazorThorn signal processor for target acquisition.  Organizations or facilities in need of heavier bot armament often turn to the larger Delta-2 Peacebringer, equipped with thicker armor and missiles...

Agent Sherman:

As requested, the patient has been moved to the Surgery Ward for immediate salvage of his datavault.

Hey Martin, there's been some kind of security snafu so all the codes have been changed until further notice -- blanket orders from a new guy I haven't seen before, an agent of some sort.  The new armory code is 2971, but don't let that get around...I just wanted you to have access in case the bots get twitchy again.  That last OS upgrade seemed a bit shaky, and that makes me nervous when applied to walking gun platforms, -- Peter

PROSPECTUS: SERIES P AGENTS
proposed by Dr. Arthur Donovan (VersaLife/HK)

The Series P Agents are the logical continuation of research from the Series N: the development of a human agent with enhanced capabilities and absolute loyalty, but without the non-standard appearance of mechanical augmentation or the unpredictability of nano-augmented.  Like the Series N, the strength and speed would be 78% more effective in combat than a normal operative without any form of augmentation

Key features from the Series N agent will also be carried over, including the self-termination mechanism.  An ingenious variation on the "kill-switch," the self-termination mechanism is wired into the autonomous nervous system of an agent.  If mortally wounded, the mechanism will activate and explode, eliminating any evidence of the agent and damaging nearby hostiles.

However, we are still continuing our attempts to isolate the source of the albino traits present ever since the Series L, but so far the simple addition of sunglasses and dark clothing appear to have resolved the matter in a practical fashion...

Surgical Pre-Evaluation
Subject: Paul Denton

...subject shows a number of departures from nominal baseline physiology, including a noted absence of all H type epsilon immunoglobin proteins which would seem to be related to his ability to tolerate nano-augmentations that are typically rejected by the vast majority of the population.  Of particular interest is that the subject tests positive for the "Gray Death"  yet shows no apparent symptoms or adverse effects...

ACOUSTIC SOUND SENSOR, DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS

The acoustic gunfire sensor has been deployed by a number of organizations throughout the world is those urban areas where it might otherwise be difficult to implement and maintain a pervasive security presence.  Utilizing fairly rudimentary DSP algorithms, the sensor will trigger if any sound matching the profile of a gunshot occurs within the sensor's detection radius; field tests in Hong Kong have shown them to be 88% accurate, with an overal 12% decrease in crime within six months.  Cheap and easy to instal, acoustic gunfire sensors can be fitted to buildings, lamp posts, or any other free standing structure...


Hong Kong: MJ12 Helibase

Maintenance Note!

Got a shipment of the experimental fuel, but this is scary stuff -- toxic six way to Sunday, and while the emergency purge is designed to shunt it  into the basement tanks in case of a problem, the fumes alone could creep back up the ventilation system and put most of the facility out of business.  Definately lowest bid contractor work.  Until I can get a hold of someone to fix this mess, I've slapped a temporary lockout on the purge valve: 99871.  Give me a ring at (443) 2334-2388-123 if there's a problem.

ALL HONG KONG MJ12 PERSONNEL

Hong Kong is a unique environment for MJ12 and provides a number of challenges that all members should be aware of on a daily basis.  Currently, only tenuous ties exist between MJ12 and local authorities -- though MJ12 is working to resolve that situation -- and consequently, police and security cannot be expected to understand the special nature of MJ12's charter.  Agents, operatives, security, and other personnel should adhere closely to the Confidentiality Guidelines outlined in your handbook.

One key factor in police response is the use of "acoustic gunfire sensors" scattered-throughout much of Hong Kong: cheap and effective, these sensors use DSP circuity to alert authorities to non-suppressed (i.e. non silenced) gunfire.  This enables police to quickly minimize threat situations in an efficient manner.  While these sensors can be disabled, Central Operations does not recommend this course of action, but rather a considered evaluation of any tactical situation to avoid local intervention.

We had another one of the locals attempt to hack the security keypad on the elevator -- looked like a kid this time, but he did a pretty good job of staying out of the surveillance field.  Anyways, Nichole managed an override before he got in and she reset the code to 989; hopefully that'll keep them out until we can get more security on the entrance.

To All Flight Controllers:

After the recent theft of the SH-187, we are re-evaluating our security prodcedures. Until further notice, Deck One Flight Control has been sealed and troops ordered to barracks. If you need access to Flight Control, please see Tech Sergeant McKinney.

*** CLOSE LOG, SHIP'S CAPTAIN SUN CHUN

Party Leader Xan,

I was much inspired by your speech to our local community resource center and wish to do my part in helping to maintain a free China; as you have said, there are many threats to that freedom both from within and without.

It is with glad heart, then, that I am able to inform you of suspicious activities on the part of Dr. Tracey Feng.  Dr. Feng has declared on a number of occasions that he believes cases of "Gray Death" are going untreated (a situation I cannot believe the Party would permit), and has often been observed leaving at odd hours on what he declares to be "family emergencies,"  I believe that Dr. Feng is a good individual, with best hopes for Hong Kong and China at heart, and could thus benefit from counseling.

Ms. Chow was kind enough to bring this to my attention, and should be saluted for the many hours of entertainment and happiness she has bought to the Chinese people.

Mort --

I'm going to be off-site tomorrow, so I'm counting on you to head things up.  Just FYI, the electrician completed installation of the security system today, login QUEENSTOWER and password SECURITY, in case you get around to handling the configuration issues.  (I don't think the doorman's quite figured out how to use it yet, so you might need to do some hand holding with him.)  I also set the elevator code inside the shaft to 1709 before I left, if you need to do any work down there.  Should the contractors return to work on floor seven, give them the code 3444,  Any other problems come up, you know how to get hold of me.

Lin

Mr. Hundley,

It has become necessary to change my system password since it may have become compromised; I will encrypt the new password and forward it to you shortly.  Please note that any access attempts made using "Tai-Fun" should be tagged and traced for interrogation.

Dr. Harrison, I was running a regression analysis on the UC, and it appears we have a serious error that could result in uncontrolled replication.  Until a new version of the control system can be tested, I've installed a temporary patch that will initiate a cascading shutdown sequence -- this will also destroy the UC in the process, so use it only in emergency.  The code is 525.  Ops says the new system should be online within 72 hours, so stick to low yield runs until then.

Dr. Lundquist:

The new server node for the Weapons Research Team in now active and user permissions have been set as you asked.  The master password for this node is DAMOCLES

Please let me know if you need anything else,

Mark,

We received that augmentation canister you were waiting on -- I had it put in suspension in the magnetic testing chamber, code 5878.  Let me know once you get the results of the last test.

Thanks,

Dr. Lundquist

Note to self:  all tests on the emergency doors around that gizmo they've got downstair check out, tell Dr. Lundquist not to worry -- it'll seal off access to all but maintenance personnel.  Door seal code: 768

Dr. Bates

I've just finished supervising the refit of the superfreighter fuel tanks to transport the virus -- this stuff should really be shipped in suspension crates, but I know you'll want to rapidly offload it once it reaches New York.  The Biocontamination seals will _not_ last past 36 hours, however, and a complete Level 4 sterilization of the tanks will need to occur once the virus is offloaded to insure that there's no incidental release.  I integrated some sealed pumping units into the tanks, so you should just be able to use standard YHU55 couplers and A0 micron hoses for transfer to the helicopters.  But tell Simons I'd still have everyone in hazmat suits the whole time.

Captain Keene:

While the PRCS Wall Cloud is in port I fully expect your cooperation in adhering to FEMA security protocols.  Due to the sensitive nature of the Wall Cloud's cargo, the ship will be in lock-down while docked and only the minimum necessary personnel given clearance at any time.  Please contact the dock foreman with an access code for his people -- I trust you will oversee the operation and insure that he understands the necessity for these precautions

Ensign Warrent,

In the interests of security and for your own protection, regular patrols will guard the dock while the PRCS Wall Cloud is in port and the gangway for the Wall Cloud will be kept in the raised position.  If you or your men need access to the Wall Cloud, the ramp can be lowered with the code 6655.  It should go without saying that this code must not be shared or else disciplinary action could result.  Please coordinate your men with high ranking FEMA security officer present

Dr. Liu,

I'm afraid we've completely gone through all our motion sickness medication -- if you could restock the lockers downstairs, that'd be great.  I have a feeling this is going to be a rough outing.  BTW, Song's been running around changing all the codes lately, so if you need to raise the bridge in engineering use 9753.

Ewan

Song,

You said you were going to rotate the security codes personally this time around, but you should check with the Captain -- I just changed his yesterday to 65678.  Not sure if he wants to keep in or what.

Ewan

Remember login/password: KZhao, Captain.

Song: Before we arrive in port I want you to perform the normal code rotation, but revoke all access to the ship's armory and change the code to 71324.  Tell no one; you and I will be the only ones with access.  Simons is no better than a snake, and I question whether the crew would understand what I must do.  You alone I can trust. - Zhao

Toby, I'm afraid I'll be in the lab for quite a while concentrating on this most interesting new development.  If you need to access the security system, this week's code is "pynchon".  We should be especially wary now with this recent turn of events; I imagine Bobby is feeling the first signs of apprehension, and he tends to overreact when that happens.

And if Lucius continues to complain, you may access his life support with the same password at the central computer. Please don't raise his temperature more than a degree as I don't want him thawing out.

It's funny, in the army you get shifted around so often you develop attachments to any place you can call home for more than nine months, and I've been at Vandenberg for more than ten years. My family has grown up here. I'm actually sorry to see it go. But you've been a big help to all of us, Derek, and I appreciate your efforts in getting us moved out to Fort Jasper -- it'll be good to actually sit down and have a beer with you again in person.

I heard yesterday that the government has sold off the base to some research consortium. They must have deep pockets if they're willing to fix all the structural damage that's cropped up since the Big One a few years back. Strange birds, real quiet. Probably ex-military would be my guess. Anyways, I'm sure I'll have some stories for you by the time I make it up there. Should be next week.

Give my best to Kim,

Nasir:  The URVs get a little twitchy if you don't take 'em for a maintenance run at least once every 10 days; use the TECH login on the security console, password SHARKMAN to access the door control.  And if I find one ding in a fin from you hot-rodding around in my babies, I'll feed you to the nasties I hear they keep down there myself -- Castor

Mary Beth:

I've got fires going up all over the place and I don't know if I'll be able to put them out -- this is getting serious.  Security locks have failed on the containment pens and a bunch of the cameras don't seem to be functioning so there's no way to track any escaped animals.  I just got a call that the turrets on the Command Level went active and started shooting everything in the room.  I'm _way_ over my head and I can't even raise you or anyone else on the horn.  I'm going down to the UC lab, so look for me there is you get this note.  -- Yushio

I got the tunnel code for you, Dr. Awase -- project management has cleared you to take some core samples from the are while it's being bored out, but I'd be careful anyways.  Big machinery and diamond-tipped drill bits don't create the most friendly work environment.

Access Code:  5690

Paul

Corporal Hutchens:

This place has gone to hell and it's all Ridley's fault.  I've been able to track him and it looks like he's heading for the dock -- he must have a URV scheduled to pick him up.  There's no way I'm going to let him get away after what he's done.  Grab some firepower and hole up wherever you can.  An extraction team is bound to show up sooner or later.  If you run into trouble, bypass security with the "Oceanguard" login and "Kraken" password, but I don't know how much longer that'll work.

Good Luck

Sergeant Mann

I hope you're the rescue team and I hope you came armed.  Ridley's screwed us, and whoever wasn't drowned, eaten by one of those monstrosities they've had us creating, or cut in half by a turret, has taken refuge in the UC lab.  There's not many left.  I've jury-rigged some laser tripwires to warn us if any of our specimens make it this far looking for Mommy and Daddy, but now it's the Spiders that are causing a problem.  I don't know how much longer we can hold out.  Please.

Hurry

Yushio --

Ridley's done something to the computers, some kind of tunneling virus with an adaptable polymorph engine like I've never seen before.  Way advanced stuff.  It's overwhelming the self-repair routines and I figure we've got thirty, maybe forty minutes before this whole place goes haywire.  I'll do what I can to block it, but as a CYA I installed a low-level login at root with recursive refresh built into the protected ring -- if worse comes to worse, it _should_ give us access to the security computers even if the virus brings down the rest of the system.  Hopefully

They've jammed all communications, even narrow band microcasts, so this is the only way I could pass a message on to you.  I don't know who these guys are -- they're not ours, not any of ours I've ever seen at least --but they are slaughtering us.  I managed to hack the first layer of the Dreamland system, but the best I could do was lock the bunker doors and reroute control to the security console in the tower.  Should take them awhile to figure that one out, and the moment they do I'll nail the first bastard that sticks his head out of the hole.  If something happens to me, the login is "a51" and the password is "xx15yz",

BTW, be careful -- a squad made it out before I managed to lock the doors; they headed for the warehouse and then I lost contact with them.

MJ12 ADVANCED TEAM
PROBLEM RECOMMENDATION REPORT 87-X
FROM: CAPTAIN JAMES FLORES
TO: AGENT KARYO
PRR-ID: 77936

DESCRIPTION:  After preliminary reconnaissance, I have determined that we have a potential security vulnerability in one of the outlying warehouses: an intake fan vent with a maintenance access hatch that could act as a possible method  of ingress to the facility.  While such ingress would present definite hazards to any intruder, it is still an unacceptable risk for a Seraphic/8X classified facility.

RECOMMENDATION: A squad should be dispatched to a) secure the area b) weld the hatch shut; and c) install sensors and autoguns to extend our security grid coverage.

NOTES: All troops not directly attached to MJ12 have been classified as a security liability and should be eliminated on sight.

Alain, I have a feeling that the truth about whatever we're involved with involves the Aquinas Protocol and Helios. Page has restricted access to those areas, but the Aquinas Station and Router are usually deserted during fourth shift. Unfortunately, they'd notice if I was gone. If you can get away, the code is 6765. See if you can find out what's going on, and if anyone asks just tell them you're there because of variances in the fiber interface relays.

Julia

Purvis -- I hacked the door lock on the coolant system, saves you the trouble: 2242.  Amazing no one ever bothered to write this stuff down, I'm still finding doors with unknown codes.  Anyways, check the secondary cooling interchange... the numbers it's been reported back don't look right.  Of course, I'm just guessing at what right is.

Mac

FROM: JACOB MACKENZIE
TO: AGENT KARYO

I'm moving all the explosives we find into storage. I don't think there's any danger of sweating or spontaneous detonation -- this stuff looked like it was pretty stable -- but I thought it might be best to put it in a secure, structurally sound location. If you or your people require access, the explosives locker code is 4225.

Mac

Alain, I don't have much time -- I managed to hack into the archives maintained by Helios. It was... amazing. There were files and messages in there going back almost a hundred years, names of things I've only heard people whisper about as rumors. I barely had time to get my bearings before the ice started to come down, and I just managed to snag a few e-mails that had been recently accessed before I was cut off. I don't think anyone noticed, but I've got to go back on shift now or else someone really will be suspicious. If you get a chance, find my machine and see if you can make anything out of what I recovered.

TECHNICAL REPORT 12-Y
FROM: SANDY PRINSLOO
TO: KIM KRIZAN
SUBJECT: INTERFACE PROGRESS

We've finally managed to work out the last few bugs in the link-up -- Page wants to be interfaced with Helios immediately after final testing is completed. I'm not sure if that's such a good idea, but I'll defer to the doctors on this one... I'm just the technical help. I figure another five or six hours for the last couple diagnostic routines to complete their pass and then we go live. Page also requested that we hook up all four of the blue fusion devices in a redundant array; each of those damn things could probably power the whole complex for a month, much less four of them in parallel. Going to be hell to route them all, but I think I can jury-rig something. I'll take a look at the B13 reactors after I get the passcode from Mac, see if there's anything there that might be helpful. I should know more by 2300. And let me know when you get the status report from Murdoch on the transmission chamber.

If the problem's not the filters, we need to know ASAP if there's an issue with the containment system. Note that Page changed the code to the reactor room this morning. It's now 2001.

The code is MOLE (6653). Meet me at the boat house and help me load this stuff onto the transport as soon as you can. Play it safe. We don't need dead heroes, we need live ones.

Hey Trieste,

Turns out these "mole" people've got a network of tunnels running all through the city (sewers, abandoned subways, stuff like that, all connected by secret passages) so Juan's apparently worked out some kind of deal with 'em to let us route our supplies underground. Brooklyn Bridge Station access is through -- get this -- the ladies restroom. Least they got a sense of humor. Just for a little added security, I wired up a keypad to the switch -- it's under the sink, code 5482. Hustle with those generator coils, and check-in when your arrive.

UPDATE, MJ12 H.K. HELIBASE OPERATIONS MANUAL

All authorized personnel with clearances of level 3 and above should be made aware that the authorization for the "TALON" security network has been changed from "VALKYRIE" to "SKYEYE". The functionality of the "TALON" security network has not changed substantially, and is still covered in Section 3B of the Operations Manual. All further inquiries should be directed to your superior.

When you have the time, May-Sung, I would suggest that you read two of my favorite books: Insurgent and Tai-Fun. I believe you'll find both of them as illuminating as I have. They're in my office if you'd like to borrow them.

JANINE'S BOTS
SPECS AND OVERVIEW

CHIANG "ARCBOT" MODEL 2

The Chiang Arcbot Model 2 was only recently introduced, a radical departure from Chiang's usually conservative line of industrial bots. Constructed on an arachnid frame, the Model 2 can adeptly maneuver in environments that would be difficult for other repair bots to access. With the addition of a comprehensive array of repair tools, it becomes ideally suited for damage control and building maintenance. But the truly inspired touch by the normally staid Chiang engineers was the ability for the Arcbot to utilize it's bioelectric discharge capacitor as a non-lethal weapon, allowing it to protect itself from potential vandals and perform double-duty patrolling otherwise unsecured portions of infrastructure. However, the Arcbot's big brother, the Model 5, is almost exclusively used for riot control...

It's all very clear to me now... I don't know why it wasn't before.

We have all sinned, and this is our punishment.

Page is God. He is the God we made, we crafted him in our likeness.

Our God is a vengeful God, and a God who does not tolerate weakness. We know his weaknesses, because we built him, so our God does not tolerate us.

Our God made monsters. He made them with the UC, then he sent them to find us. Some of us tried to hide, but they didn't understand. You can't hide from God, or his creatures.

I've been waiting here, thinking. Thinking about God, and the things I have done wrong. If I think long enough and hard enough, maybe God will forgive me someday and make me again in the UC.

All praise the UC, and all praise God.
