Emails can be found and read by viewing Email Terminals. They are scattered throughout the GATE Cascade Research Facility. And viewing some emails may even reward the player with a recipe. Occasionally Order laptops can be found, and often contain at least one email from a superior to a group of soldiers in the area.

rmoyer
Jane, what's this I'm hearing about an investigation into our security? Has anyone spoken to you about it?

jkarenski
Relax, Richard. It doesn't concern anyone in your sector. It's the Labs team. You know how they are - always scared someone's leaking information.

rmoyer
Manse suggested the Executive Committee thinks someone may be monitoring our data network. I thought that was impossible.

Hey, you asked me to get in touch if we found any applications for new materials. You remember that fungus Lenora's team brought back? We did some tests. This stuff makes penicillin look like tapwater.

tenderson
I reviewed the report. You're cleared for Phase 2.

imanbanko
Someone needs to go back in there. We need more samples.

tenderson
The Silo 2 systems are online. Should be fine. I'll talk to TR.

The power sockets are on a timer!? I was working on mass dampeners and the place just SHUT DOWN. You know those have to warm up for hours - now I have to start all over again!

Just keep an eye on your wristwatch. Don't start a task you can't finish before the facility power goes out. Why the hell were you working at midnight anyway!? Get some rest, we can't afford to make mistakes. - T

OFFICE SUPPLY CROSSBOWS

Richard Moyer
[email protected]

rmoyer
This is a notice to all Cascade technical staff. We have received some complaints from team members about misuse of office supplies, up to and including creating improvised weapons for flinging projectiles across the cubicles. We here at GATE understand and commend your ingenuity as scientists -- after all, it's why you work here. But if you want to continue working in this department, knock it off. - R.M.

mshephed
I've mentioned this before, but your security bots are a menace. They don't seem to distinguish employees AT ALL, and whose idea was it to get them to restock the soda machines?? There's a TON of valuable equipment in those things, which would have been a lot more useful elsewhere.

rmoyer
Moira, why are you telling me this? I am not in charge of security OR procurement. If you're serious, try Enderson. But I have never had any problems with the bots. I stay out of the facility when it shuts down for the night - like you're supposed to.

The dog thing

Hilda Dixon

imanbanko
So we finally caught one of those dog things. KP called it a 'peccary'. I've noticed their behaviour is different here than in Anteverse II. She has a theory that the lower entropy on this side makes their biochemistry more potent. They're stronger. It certainly seems more angry.

hdixon
Interesting. Certainly the energy differential is strongly in our favour. But I wouldn't jump to conclusions. We don't know enough.

imanbanko
You're behind the times. Apparently the team on Level 3 has figured out a way to use the differential in their new Power Cell design.

I'm concerned some of your people have been working extra hours, and not returning to the Residence Sector each evening. I've been hearing some of them have built BEDS down there.

sfrake
Look Richard, if they sometimes work a little extra, it's because they want to and a project needs it. A lot of this stuff, you can't just walk away at 6pm.

rmoyer
It needs to stop, Sarah. The security bots don't have an 'employee' setting."

gchevallier So do you think WWF wrestling is real? Or are they just acting? I don't get it. Why would everyone cheer if it was fake?

lriggs
Any news? You've had those A2 samples for two weeks. What's the hold up?

stengku
Sorry Lenora, yes, we think the intensity of the radiation over there is due to high entropy levels. Energy just dissipates faster. We're giving everyone iodine tablets to counteract the effects from expeditions. But there's a problem I can't figure out. The numbers don't add up. Even with the higher entropic quotient, there's excess energy coming through the Gateways.

Iriggs
Tell Sergei. Not my problem.

I've been analysing the fluctuations from the last perforation with Suan. It's like there's energy entering the system from somewhere else.

mhutton
We've discussed the parameters, Sasha. They're within bounds. That's why we run tests: to figure out what's happening over there.

sverenkov
The only reason you have data is because Lenora went and got it. Don't forget whose neck is really on the line here.

Lvl 3 containment req.

You need to take this one seriously. We retrieved IS-178 from A2 and it nearly killed us. It needs FULL Crucis containment and anyone interacting with it will need impact shielding at the VERY LEAST.

Kath, How have you been studying IS-0173? The little bouncing fellow everyone's calling the 'pest'? I can't get near it.

kpendleton
Hey Isaiah, I've been working with dead specimens. Autopsies suggest they're the second stage in the life cycle of a metamorphic creature, starting with 171. I'm beginning to wonder if it's possible that all the A2 specimens are connected?

imanbanko
Interesting theory.

X-ers?

Lenora Riggs

imanbanko
These X-ers are pretty dangerous. We analysed the specimen you brought back. They're smart, but we can't tell if they're actually intelligent yet. Kath's running MCC tests, but it's hard. Their bio-eletrical systems are off the charts. They keep frying the equipment. We need an actual name for them. X-ers?

mhutton I've clarified this before: A2 is NOT ""Planet X"", it's not even JUST a planet. I don't know why this nickname is still sticking around.

lriggs
No, it's Exor. I found them, I get to name them.

Power cell testing

Jim Bernecki

sfrake
Jim, I'm concerned we haven't field tested the power cells sufficiently. I told Enderson about them. He's worried we're relying on salt to keep Flathill in check.

jbernecki
They've BEEN tested - containment systems, weaponry, even some of the personal transport prototypes. And please, they're sodium-based accumulators derived from our research into A2, not 'salt'. The fuel cells are not the issue here, if you get my drift

PESTS

Kath KP Pendleton

imanbanko
Kathy, I've noticed something about IS-0173's internal structure. It shows clear morphic continuity with IS-0171. I believe they're the same creature at different stages.

kpendleton
The low entropy of A2 could, theoretically, encourage metamorphic lifecycles. They're more energy efficient.

imanbanko
Yes! That would also explain why ANYTHING from A2 proliferates so rapidly here: there's so much more available energy. Their metabolic rates must skyrocket.

kpendleton
Exactly.

Power Cells

Jim Bernecki

hdixon
Hi Jim, what's the operating lifespan of the Flathill containment system? How long do the power cells last?

jbernecki
Don't worry about it, they're high density sodium cells, good for at least a month. There's plenty of redundancy in the containment system, too. You'd have to pull out all three to reopen the Gateway. Access to the rooftops is restricted, and anyway no-one would be crazy - or stupid - enough to do that.

Are you sure IS-0064 is contained in Flathill? What's to stop it leaving? I'm still waiting on your report. - T

hdixon
We can't be perfectly certain, but everything we're seeing suggests it's localized to Flathill. It seems erratic to us, but we've noticed some patterns. It seems to compose melodies of sorts. Report's coming - I've been busy.

tenderson
So we've got a new Mozart on our hands? I need more than that, Hilda. - T

hdixon
It'll be in my report, but I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. They're 'part of the fog phenomena, but we lost any chance to explore their origins once we installed the containment system. They may actually generate the 'fog', but last time I suggested researching it, you ignored me.

tenderson
Idris told me that IS-0091 escaped containment again this morning. I need to know exactly what happened.

dmanse
No-one knew it was missing for almost half an hour - the creature's invisible to most people. We chased it down with EM lamps, but it almost got Dr Tang. Peters thinks the x-ray system had a brown out, but we're not sure. You're in charge of containment processes, you tell me.

tenderson
I'll get Frake and her people to review the system immediately. We may need to install another tier of failsafes.

dmanse
I strongly recommend that.

Can we get some gosh dang organization down in Manufactoring? It's amazing we get anything done. I went down to see Varsha yesterday, and I was tripping over crates on every walkway, which are very much NOT up to even basic safety standards. I know we don't answer to OSHA, but we'll be answering to keystone if we have an accident down there.

It's a work in progress. Just try to keep your tie from getting stuck in one of the machines, okay?

It's spelt 'artefact'.
