The PATCH

Alright, so, it's been a while since our last update here, but I figure this warrants a bit of an announcement.

We've been hard at work, and have finally come up with what can very, very loosely be called a prototype for an Alpha version of the PATCH: The PAranormal Termination Consortium Helper. We anticipate initial activation sometime tomorrow, but we have the hardware specs Crowley said we'd need, and we think most of the software that he's helped us code is going to work, but we're still not quite sure how all this crap works from the ground up. Chances of it not crashing right at the start are absolutely minimal. We still need to fine-tune everything, but we're testing it where we can as we go.

If everything works out, we should be able to push the full version into service by this time next week. In the meantime, B2 has been laying the groundwork for another operation in the Path. We anticipate deployment tonight, and an After-Action Report by Friday or Saturday.

Well, here we are again

It's always such a pleasure.

No, I can't get that song out of my head. B2 refuses to stop humming it.

Anyways, odd to be using this blog again after doing nothing but running myself ragged, keeping the SMD afloat. Nightcrawler going nuts didn't help.

It's hard keeping things from totally falling apart, these days. B2's presence is welcome, even though he went rogue and shot a bunch of our guys.

So, about the Tablet. I know a whole bunch of you have been waiting for news.

We've got confirmation on some of its inner workings.

The damn thing might be a quantum computer. Let me repeat that, IT COULD BE A QUANTUM COMPUTER.

That's a pretty big deal.

Anyways, we've taken a look at the thing, and we think we might be able to reverse-engineer a less-effective version of the Tablet for our purposes. Our science team's on it already, split between the dimensional bleeding problem and the reverse-engineering program for the Tablet.

But you knew that already. What you didn't know is that we can get a prototype working sometime within the month, by current estimates of cost and barring any serious interruptions for the scientists, such as relocation.

This is going to be awesome.
