I understand there was an election of some sort recently? We haven't been getting much outside news lately. We're in lockdown here at Dyscern World HQ Labs. My faithful guard dog, Copernicus, chewed through some power cables and shut down the cryofreezer, releasing a cloud of retroviral farandolae spores. Now the lab monkeys are mutating every 45 minutes, and none of us can blink for some reason. It's always something around here… So I was browsing military databases, looking for containment protocols, when I came across this weird little item. DOD Buzz, an online journal that's part of the sprawling Military.com domain, recaps a few of the latest bulletins from the U.S. Army's science and technology office. Among the detailed initiatives: Telepathic communication networks using subdermal electrodes on the scalp. Biomechanical "nano-scaffolding" for regrowing lost limbs. Quantum imaging for projecting holographic battalions of "ghost" soldiers. Yes, I'm serious. I never kid about these things. Check it out for yourself. Of course, bear in mind that the military is not in the habit of openly disclosing their critical programs, and that research scientists love to blue-sky the future when you get a few cups of coffee in them. (Also, the recruitment guys know the XBox generation eats this stuff up.) Still, it's interesting reading. And if you come across any quarantine manuals, drop me a line.
