Kudos![]

Transcript

Kudos for the bean pod addition for the VR Sim. I like the Jack and the Beanstalk reference, buddy! I hope Calis doesn't throw a fit. Watch your back with that guy. He's always been more than a bit wound up about simple stuff. I had to move my Battle Brew setup over to X-12's storage room after he threw a prohibitionist fit about it to the Leads.

RE: Test Subject Observations[]

Yes, yes. Run the tests, if it'll keep you out of my way. I'm going back down to the cages to see if a nudge from a prod will trigger their abilities. The other project leads will be stopping by in a few days and we must be able to show them progress!

Get off your butt, Butz![]

Transcript

This is the last time I'm going to warn you, Butz. I can see that comic book poking up out of your field manual. You don't fool me, asshat. Next time I catch you slacking, I'm writing a disciplinary notice and you can spend your free time polishing emitter arrays.

What the hell...?![]

What the hell is his damn problem?! All I was doing was reading the latest issue of La Fantoma!, and that grouch, Calis, called me an asshat. What the hell is an asshat, anyway? Funny, ha ha, my last name is Butz. That got old in grade school, the snobby bastard. Sorry, just needed to vent.

Check out this mod I've been working on![]

Adds the Main Computer Upgrade: K9000 Mod "Resla Roil" holodisk to the player's Pip-Boy..

Transcript

Hey buddy! I've been helping the guys over in X-8 test out this new toy they've been building. Get this, it's a gun that uses a dog's brain to track targets! They asked me to play around with their gun trigger code, and I came up with this mod. Next time you're over there, would you give it a shot? Calis has me swamped setting X-13 up for the coming visit by the leads and he wants the turrets in place so we don't fail the new security requirements.

Thanks!

Slough's terminal[]

Transcript

>\ Welcome, Technician Slough.

Suggestion.[]

Adds the Auto-Doc Upgrade: Implant Y-7 holodisk to the player's Pip-Boy.

Transcript

I've noticed your work has taken a dive lately. This seems to have coincided with a marked weight gain over the past few months. I've developed an implant which has been proven to increase performance while reducing weight in lab animals. Granted, we haven't run it through any human test trials yet, but I'm sure it is perfectly safe. Also, please refrain from snacking in the lab. If you smudge another camera, I'm banning all food from the facility.

Fwd: Re: Field Gun Prototype[]

Sonic emitter notice is added to the player's Pip-Boy after reading this entry.

Transcript

We've successfully created a capacitance module capable of emitting a focused electromagnetic pulse from a Sonic Emitter. While the physical impact is rather weak, Jenkins fired the weapon at a force field and it fried the field's emitter array. Upon further study, we've found the gun only affects a small range of frequencies. Unfortunately, the frequency of our force fields fall within this range. The gun was sent to X-8 for further study.

Test Area A - Review[]

Transcript

Chayanov had me run through the first part of the facility to test the tripwires and proximity mines the other day and the suit kept chafing. Mori says some new firmware updates fixed the suit's fitment sync ability, but I'm not so sure. The legs kept binding up on me and the torso was ridiculously tight. Maybe I should stop lifting Fancy Lads from Slough's stashes.

Mk II Glove Research[]

Transcript

I've been working with Mori on fitting the gloves to the torso and come up with a few improvements which should greatly enhance the user's manual dexterity. I adapted Redding's new rubberized dampening compound and applied it to the palms and other high-wear surfaces. Once the suit adjusts to the user, the benefits of these upgrades should be obvious.

Mk II Boot Research[]

Transcript

Researcher Kael's breakthrough with the Suit's software has led me to a breakthrough of my own. By adding an advanced servo buffer to the existing leg rigs, I've been able to increase the resolution of data sent to and from the central control module. Once these babies are hooked up to the torso, an agent should be able to limbo under barriers almost as fast as they can run!

Mk II Torso Research[]

Transcript

I've uploaded Kael's latest firmware update to the suit. I think Kael has outdone herself this time. Self-updating firmware is an ingenious addition to this system. As we upgrade the suit, it'll automatically adapt the new systems to the user's specifications during testing and unlock the features as they come online. This will save hundreds of hours of fiddling with settings.

Note to self - Make Kael a keg of my infamous 'Battle Brew.'

Nightstalker Research[]

Transcript

I believe this latest serum has proven to be a success. Under human observation, the creatures remain visible, but some of the nighttime recordings reveal the serum is working. The animals appear to be learning how to use their new cloaking ability when no one is around. Perhaps there is a physical limitation or some mental drawback to the ability, which prevents its usage under duress. I think I will pursue stress testing of the animals first thing Monday morning.

Server Sniffer - FW: RE: VR Test[]

Transcript

The VR Sim is corrupted?! Dammit! Sounds like there's a bug in the software somewhere. I hope to God it doesn't screw with the suit's systems. I just got the firmware updated for Mori over the weekend. For now, let's just tell Calis we're having "power issues" and focus on the REPCONN tests until we get the suit ready for real-world tests.

-Kael
p.s. Delete this message ASAP. I don't want Calis harassing me over this.

X-13 Shipment Notice[]

Transcript

Your shipment of cattle prods arrived today. I'd like to remind you our systems are designed to prevent infiltration by enemy agents, not internal threats. If you're doing any testing on creatures, please forward that task to the animal testing facility. As you found with the Sonic Emitter, our force fields can't handle power fluctuations well.

Test Subject Observations[]

Transcript

I've noticed some of the creatures have been increasingly aggressive when I come into the lab in the morning. Did something change in their diet? I'll run some tests if you like.

RE: RE: Test Subject Observations[]

Transcript

I went ahead and did the lab test and noticed no appreciable changes in their blood work. I'm concerned our use of the cattle prods may react with the chemistry of the injections. This is new ground we're treading. I'd hate to see your hard work lost to a change in brain chemistry. These critters could be invaluable to the war effort if we can somehow control their behavior.

Test Observations[]

Transcript

I've been watching Mendoza stumble through the various X-13 tests and noticed a critical flaw in the tripwire emitter design. A skilled scientist or someone with advanced electronics repair knowledge could crack the casings and hack their IFF circuit to ignore the current test subject. I'll see if I can reinforce the casings after the leads visit the facility this week.

Adds the Main Computer Upgrade: K9000 Mod "Mentat Chow" to the player's Pip-Boy.

Transcript

While Slough is busy stuffing his face and trying to find new places to hide his junk food from Calis, I've decided to experiment with a mod from one of the techs over in X-8. I may not have been able to afford a doctorate like those eggheads upstairs, but I've been programming since I was in diapers. I found a ton of redundancies and exponential loop failures those halfwits must have missed. My fixes should speed up the refire rate of that K9 weapon they've been working on. Maybe if I leave it on their desks it'll actually get implemented. Lord knows they wouldn't take me seriously if I tried to take credit.
