ANOMALY TASKFORCE EXTENSION REQUEST[edit]
ANALYZING… FILE TYPE: Text Communications
PERIOD: Colony Era
TOPIC: Anomaly
SUMMARY: Text communication from Dr. Valentin Cole to General Davic Reed, requesting an extension of the Anomaly research taskforce, sent after President Luca Caruso's order to disband all Anomaly taskforces. File is corrupted with significant data loss.
SUBJECT: Status update and extension request
SENDER: Cole, V.
RECIPIENT: Reed, D.
All samples show significant DNA change across time, much larger than standard population variation, and… [DATA NOT FOUND] …We don't want to jump the gun here, but this is unprecedented. We've never observed an effect quite like this… [DATA NOT FOUND] …closest being gravitational time dilation, but without the difference in gravitational potential. Put simply: Time seems to move differently within the vicinity of the Anomaly versus outside of it. All of our excursions confirmed… [DATA NOT FOUND] …still taking into consideration human error or even a shared delusion. Daily psych evals with Joy were mandatory for the entire team, but I feel confident in our findings, even if we can't explain them… [DATA NOT FOUND] …equipment loss drove up our costs, plus dealing with unexplainable side effects of exposure, like lost time and AI malfunction. The dangers here are clear, and I don't mean to diminish them… [DATA NOT FOUND] …would be foolish to ignore the possibility space. Consider for example food production. An agricultural set-up built within the affected vicinity would produce food at an accelerated rate with a fraction of the man-hours, assuming our automated systems can… [DATA NOT FOUND] …if we learn to predict the extent of the time dilation, any time-based task that does not require full monitoring would become essentially automatic and, in some cases, almost instantaneous… [DATA NOT FOUND] …basically, a laboratory operating on an accelerated timeline. It would be groundbreaking. With more resources, a larger team, and more time, this could be a reality… [DATA NOT FOUND] …need Caruso's approval. You need to convince him to lift the restriction. Or we go around him… [DATA NOT FOUND] …I acknowledge there are risks. But this is why we came here. This is what we were meant to find… [ERROR ! FILE CORRUPTED]
