INTERNAL CORRESPONDENCE #572124
[box]To: All Surgesystems Employees
From: Rudi Salzer, Vice President
Hello everyone,
I’m Rudi Salzer, your new vice president. Until recently I was part of North Light’s security division, but now that Surgesystems and North Light are part of the same family, we thought you would appreciate a big sibling being sent over. Now, I won’t do much to try and interfere with your valuable work and daily operations, with my main concern being the security around here.
I hear that you all have been adjusting well to the new security measures being put in place, and we’ll be bringing over some new babysitters to help out our family. You’ll see some friendly new guards patrolling around the main facility. As long as you wear your specially encoded ID badges at all times and make sure they’re properly registered in our database, these new babysitters will be happy to stay out of your way. In addition, new biometric security scanners have been implemented throughout the building - attempting to bypass one will result in that section of the building entering lockdown.
Thank you for your time,
Rudi
PS: Remember that PPE must be worn on the testing floor at all times, and North Light is not responsible for any incidents that take place due to lack of personal protective equipment.

Hello,
I will need someone to come over to my office as soon as possible and clear the old Vice President’s information off my desktop terminal. Additionally, I’d like it reformatted with my personal information.[/box]

[box]To: Rudi Salzer, Vice President
From: Anneli Frey, Information Systems
Mr. Salzer,
Over the last 4-5 weeks, I’ve picked up an abnormal amount of encrypted data packets being sent outside the facility. These messages use an abnormal cipher protocol - something that I haven’t seen before, which I’m certain isn’t ExtSec approved. I believe that someone inside the facility is transferring corporate information to a third party.

Ms. Frey
Please continue your investigation into the external messages, and keep me updated on any progress you manage to make. In the meantime, keep this information private - do not inform anyone else about what you’re doing. I will ensure the appropriate parties are appraised.
And please, call me Rudi.

Rudi,
I’ve made some more progress in decrypting the data packets. From what I can tell, someone is sending progress messages on VALKYR to a secure offsite server, though I don’t have enough information to determine where exactly this server is. I believe that these messages are going to Tempest Energy, but there isn’t enough concrete evidence yet.

ENCRYPTED MESSAGE
[box]To: %&!*#
From: J
I’ve managed to get the password to Raab’s computer today. I’ll send it to you with the information on VALKYR-15. The prototype will be stopping at this facility on its way to the Department of External Security. You may be able to intercept on the road leading here. [/box]
VALKYR-15 RELEASE NOTES
[box]Project: VALKYR Mechanized Integument System
Version: 12
Status: Failure
Notes: While v.12 had a heavier power consumption than the v.10 or v.11, we managed to increase power control and modulation by approximately 18.42%. This is a promising development, but we still need to come up with a solution for the actuators.
Version: 13
Status: Failure
Notes: System overload. Internals destroyed. We couldn’t salvage any data from the test.
Version: 14
Status: Failure
Notes: Interesting. I’m not sure where we pulled this data, as it’s focusing on a completely different direction compared to our earlier prototypes. We managed to solve the servo issues by using pneumatic artificial muscles paired with electronic servomotors. I have high hopes for the next prototype.
Version: 15
Status: Success
Notes: That data we received from August really did the trick. We managed to get a stable build model made. I don’t think we have an armor system ready for mass production yet, but it shows we have a working prototype ready. We should be able to get these issues solved in a later build.
As you requested, here’s a list of changes compared to the Monolith model.

August,
One of my friends inside Tempest Energy found the specs for their canceled FEUER powered exoskeleton. I’m sending it over to your team. From what I can tell, they managed to resolve the problems you’ve been having with the Balmer joint activators. Combined with the data from the sabotaged test, I think you should have everything you need to complete VALKYR. Colonel Visscher is expecting results from this project, and I don’t need to tell you what a favorable evaluation and cash reward from ExtSec will do to our stock portfolios.

- Prototype materials not suited for extended field use.
- Strength augmentation is significantly higher.
- Increase in maneuverability.
- Operating time with a standard hydrogen cell is 30% longer.
