Task
Force HIEROPHANT Daily Intelligence Briefing 091618911
Sam-F1191,
HIEROPHANT Liaison to the Melanicus Non-Citizen Community, reports
that the rumor that a Melanicus Institute of Advanced Study
researcher was researching POISON GATE mathematics was in error (see
DayIntBrief 091418911). The named researcher agreed to undergo a
full neural scan, which detected no trace of unsafe information.
Maintenance
has been completed on Thermal Loop #4, and the Loop has returned to
service. Loop #3 will be taken down at 1900 hours today for
preventive maintenance, and will remain down for three weeks. This
will complete the planned maintenance program.
At
0928 this morning Melanicus station received a squirt transmission
from Kir-P2881, tasked to the Deep Space Reconnaissance Project. He
reports that he briefly made contact with known True Republic
Factionalist Ira-K0897 while in interstellar space 38 light-years
from Melanicus. Ira-K0897 transmitted a warning squirt advising
that Fleet Support Ship Lin-T8811 had been infected with a level one
memetic hazard, believed to be TINSEL CROWN, and that this hazard may
have infected other True Republic Factionalists in the area. This
is corroborated by observation of a high-yield energy spike in
interstellar space, approximate coordinates 145/216/39.4, consistent
with the cauterizing self-destruction of a Fleet Support Ship of the
Sic
Semper Tyrannis
class.
Origin
of this infection is not known. TINSEL CROWN was believed confined
to the Melanicus Remote Quarantine Storage Vault and no other copies
were known to exist. This suggests either the penetration of the
Vault by True Republic Factionalists, or, more likely, the existence
of a previously-unknown refugee astromorph carrying TINSEL CROWN.
Further analysis is under way and an action plan is being drawn up
under the security phrase CONIFER. Erid-Q8945 has been named by the
HIEROPHANT Operations Committee as the Lead Officer on CONIFER.
On
a happier note, Kay-A7809 has decanted a child, which she has named
Lem. I'm sure we all wish Kay and Lem the best luck in the world.
A decanting party is planned for 2300 tomorrow, at the Senior
Officers' Canteen.
