Internal Company Memo, Eyes Only

ALL-

THE PROJECT HAS GROWN IMMENSELY SINCE THE CREATION OF THE ‘RESISTANCE QUARTER’ IN ITS UNKNOWN LOCATION.

OUR NORMAL PROCEDURE IS FOR ALL SUBJECTS TO BE LABELED BY THEIR APPROPRIATE CODE NUMBER AND DESIGNATION OF SPECIES WITHIN MEMOS, PROFILES, AND OTHER DOCUMENTATION.

{Species Designation is: ‘X’ followed by the number in order of appearance in the Rift for humans, clones in numerical order with no letters, droids classified by ‘A’ followed by numbers in order of creation. Other species/categories will be designated as needed going forward. There is one Muse that lives with Talia (X001) and he is designated by an ‘M’.}

THERE ARE TEAMS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANALYSIS OF INTEL GATHERED FROM MONITORING IN THE CABAL QUARTER AND OTHER PUBLIC AREAS, INCLUDING THE INTRANET, CATALOG AND PLACE THEIR REPORTS INTO CLASSIFIED, ALPHA-LEVEL SECURITY SERVERS.

THE LEADERS OF THE OFFSHOOT ‘RESISTANCE’ FROM THE ‘CONFLICT’ ARE DELILAH (X1501), HER FAMILY, AND HER CURRENT ‘CO-MAYORS’. NONE OF THE CITIZENS OF THE RIFT (CABAL OR RESISTANCE) HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROJECT AND CANNOT EVER BE MADE AWARE ITS EXISTENCE.

WE RECENTLY RECEIVED WORD THAT OUR WORLD (THE COMPANY) AND THE SUBJECTS’ WORLD MAY COLLIDE; THEREFORE, WE ARE PROVIDING OUR HIGHEST LEVEL AGENTS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS A brIEF REMINDER OF THE PROJECT, ITS GOALS, AND WHAT IS AT STAKE IF THIS PLANNED DIRECT CONTACT OCCURS.

SUMMARY OF PROJECT REALITY (AKA CODENAME: THE RIFT)

THE RIFTIS THE NAME OF THE POCKET DIMENSION SET UP TO HOUSE THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE COMPANY.

WHEN THE ORIGINAL THREE CLONES FOUND MATES IN HUMANS FROM THE CABAL, THEY WERE RELEASED TO LIVE IN OUR TEST SPACE. THE REACTION OF THE CABAL MEMBERS GIFTED WITH THIS BOON WAS UNPRECEDENTED.

OVERSIGHT SAW THE BENEFITS OF TAILORING CLONES FROM ALTERNATE RIBBONS OF REALITY TO THE NEEDS OF THE HUMAN WOMEN THAT WERE BEING RECRUITED TO WORK IN THE RIFT AS A TEST PROJECT. IT COULD BE AN ADDITIONAL LINE OF BUSINESS THAT MIGHT PROVE MORE LUCRATIVE THAN MERCENARY PURSUITS. IT SHOULD BE AFFIRMED THAT AGENT MISSIONS HAVE MADE US MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY; HOWEVER, IF THIS WAS A SUCCESS, IT OPENED MORE LINES OF BUSINESS FOR THE FUTURE.

THE BASE EXPERIMENT IS SIMPLE: RUN A LARGE-SCALE TEST TO ENSURE THAT THE POCKET DIMENSION WILL HAVE NO LONG-TERM ILL-EFFECTS ON HUMANS. WE COULD CREATE MORE OF THESE DIMENSIONS AND USE THEM AS EXCLUSIVE PLAYGROUNDS, EXILES, HIDING SPOTS, AND MORE.

THEREFORE, WE ALLOWED THE HUMANS WHO MATED WITH THE CLONES TO CONTINUE TO RECRUIT MORE HUMANS, EVEN THEY WERE NOT INCLUDED IN OFFICIAL CABAL BUSINESS.

THIS WAS SUCCESSFUL UNTIL ONE HUMAN (DONATELLA X098) BEGAN CREATING ANDROIDS TO ALLOW ALL THE POPULATION TO HAVE A COMPANION. AFTER A FEW YEARS, THE CABAL (OUR HUMAN GOVERNING BODY) LOST CONTROL OF THE POPULATION AND WE HAD TO FACILITATE ‘THE CONFLICT’.

THIS WAR BETWEEN DROIDS, CLONES, AND THEIR COMPANIONS ENDED WITH THE TRIUMPH OF OUR CLONES IN THE ‘BATTLE OF BLOOD AND STEEL’.

THE REMAINING MEMBERS OF THE RESISTANCE—OUR NAME FOR THE GROUP OF REBELS—CONTINUED TO RECRUIT MEMBERS THROUGH THE PORTAL ACCESS POINT IN BYTES ‘N CHIPS.

DELILAH (X1501) FORGED A COMMUNITY OUT OF THE REMAINING RESISTANCE. AFTER THE CONFLICT, MUCH OF THE CABAL GREW WEARY OF THE CONTINUED REBELLION MOVED BACK TO EARTH WITH THEIR MATES. THIS AFFECTED OUR EXPERIMENT, SO WE ALLOWED X1501 TO CONTINUE EXPANDING THE RESISTANCE. ITS LOCATION HAS REMAINED HIDDEN FOR TWO YEARS, DESPITE OUR SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY. WE CAN ONLY GATHER INTEL ON ITS MEMBERS THROUGH DIGITAL MEANS AND COMMON AREA SURVEILLANCE.

X1501 AND THE REST OF HER REBELS HAVE CONTINUED TO RECRUIT, CREATE DROIDS, AND EXPAND THEIR COMMUNITY. SOME OF THE FORMER CABAL MEMBERS HAVE JOINED THEIR RANKS AND DESPITE THE CLOSURE OF THE ‘DIRTY DEEDS’ BAR, THEIR GROWTH HAS NOT SLOWED. HOWEVER, IN THE YEARS BETWEEN THE CONFLICT AND NOW, THE RESISTANCE HAS BECOME A DEN OF INIQUITY THAT WOULD SHOCK EVEN THE MOST FLEXIBLE OF OUR EMPLOYEES.

THE IMPETUS BEHIND THIS MEMO IS THAT WE HAVE GLEANED THAT X1501 IS PLANNING A MEETING WITH ONE OF OUR OWN—TAURUS (002) — FOR A CLANDESTINE TêTE-à-TêTE. WE DO NOT KNOW WHY OR WHEN, BUT THIS brINGS THE CABAL, THE COMPANY, AND THE RESISTANCE INTO DIRECT CONTACT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS.

THAT IS DANGEROUS FOR PROJECT REALITY IF NOT CLOSELY MONITORED.

THE CABAL ARE NOT ALPHA-LEVEL CLEARANCE; THEREFORE, THEY CANNOT EXPOSE THIS PROJECT BUT CONTINUED RELATIONS BETWEEN AN ACTIVE AGENT AND THE RESISTANCE COULD LEAD TO brEACHES OF PROTOCOL.

AS WE ARE ALL AWARE, 002 IS THE LEAST CONTROLLABLE, MOST VOCIFEROUS OF THE ORIGINAL THREE AND OUR ONLY REMAINING EMPLOYEE THAT IS LIVING OUTSIDE OF THE HQ. HIS MATE, TALIA (X001), IS A LEAD ANALYST IN OUR OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT. THEIR CONNECTIONS TO US MAKE THEM A VALUABLE INTEL TARGET IF THE RESISTANCE IS PLANNING ANOTHER ONSLAUGHT.

QUESTIONS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO MIKHAIL, brUTUS, OR THE ALPHA LEVEL CONSORTIUM. ABSOLUTELY NO COMMUNICATION REGARDING PROJECT REALITY OR ANY OF OUR BUSINESS CAN BE DISCUSSED WITH ANYONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE ALPHA LEVEL CLEARANCE.

ANYONE CAUGHT DOING SO WILL GET PUNISHED TO THE MOST SEVERE CONSEQUENCES ALLOWED.
