Blackbox Memorandum

CONFIDENTIAL PROGRESS REPORT 108-3 ATTN: William Yu Department: Hardware Labs Project Lead: Lane Carpenter

BLACKBOX PROJECT The Q-Beam attachment for N-CN9 "Blackbox" Military Operators is progressing ahead of schedule. Development on outstanding tasks has been broken down below: - Micro-cooling plate optimization: 87% complete. - Recirculating ambient control: 70% complete.

As you can see, we are nearly there. Once the cooling system has been optimized and migrated into the Q-Beam firing mechanism, prototypes will be sent Earthside. Testing is proceeding as planned. Preliminary results show promising excitations in the molecular structure of energized systems. Live target not yet tested.
