Chapter 20 - Extra: Maria's Lost Record

Record 1 - Maria Valder, this is □□ of □□ 2071.

I was notified to create records, in case if explosion like in the last test happens. So here i am, creating this record... so where do i start?... Oh! Attempt number four at project "Visitor". Intended design and operation of module is limited. Despite manual control, and stable formula, exposure to more than 32 Vebryan causes mechanical structure to burst, and explode and generate collapse radiation at 200 and plus Vebryan levels.

So far, the latest formula provided best results. For the time being, we will continue to work on formula, and we will requre more experiment to understand why exposion happens. Previous tests on seperate instances were stable, but together they are not, even with updated mechanics.

Delond Generator is generating necessary power for Lumert Case to create the crystals. The crystals are safe to handle and sturdy, but they quickly crumble when disconected from Lumert Case, or if Lumert case runs out of power. Delong Generator is capeble to generate power from collapse radiation, and without provided output, it is capeble to hande up to 411 Vebryan, the best our lab is capeble to created, and genererates that way 1.1 megawat.

What interesting is... At 32 Verbyan, Delong Generator is creating 85 kilowat... I don't know where my idea is even going... Why would this damn generator burst out at mere 85 kilowat when working with Lumert Case, but blew up when working WITH lumert case! This dosn't make sence! We need to run few more tests... End of a record!

Record 2 - Maria Valder, this is □□ of □□ 2071. Project "Visitor".

Attempt number six and this is getting dangerous! After we run few tests, formula was imroved, but nothing changed! At attempt number five happened another explosion, but at the very least we found out the reason!

Energy that Delong Generator outputing is not a pure energy... if we can even call it like that. For the sake of understanding what it is, we call it "collapse energy". Turns out it corrupts any device that was used on. And that includes the device used to measure the power. Device that was used to read output power for Delong Generator is now showing SEVEN times lower power that usual. After that we runed a few tests on different devices. They all started working strange. Lightbulbs of various kind started to blowing up.

Test on a fridge resulted in making it so powerfull, that the temperture inside dropped to -22 by celsius, and worst of all, it started emiting collapse radiation. For the time being we trying to figureout what is going on. Seems like Delong Generator was a mistake after all! We will see what we will find! End of a record!

Record 3 - Maria Valder, this is □□ of □□ 2071. Project "Visitor".

Attempt number ten brought new discoveries! We managed to limit the output of Delong Generator! Now it's output is limited and runs perftectly! In theory, it should withstand up to thousand Vebryan, but our lab can't run this kind of test, so we can say that for sure only for 411 Vebryan. At 411 Vebryan this Generator is stable! With new limiter, it produces 80 kilowat of "collapse energy".

And this is where problem with Lumert Case rises. Before, when we used pure energy, we needed around 440 kilowat of power to create a single crystal of 10 by 2 by 2 centimeters in 10 seconds! And 80 kilowat of "collapse energy" is creating seven crystals, 4 by 2 by 1 centimeters in half of a second, and they are not crumble when disconected from case or the case turned off. 

Crystals that were made from "collapse energy" suddenly can live up to twelve days without withering away like normal do! This does sound nice, but then this whole system won't help to create nessesary network!

Originaly theese crystals were supposed to make easy fix for any heavy machinery. Due to their small sizes, they should be easy to place and then taken out, but if you need to wait for twelve days before being able to fix, they are basiacly becoming "quick fix now, and twelve day latter you can fix it for good". And the fact that crystals from collapse energy are so unorganized, you can't even call if a quick fix, as it will ruin everything! This is going to be a lo-o-ong week! Maybe we can give it a propper shape? I just don't know how! As for now... End of a record!

Record 4 - Maria Valder. □□ of □□ 2071. Project "Visitor".

After last report, i was told to keep going and suddenly we have a few new investors going right through us! And we have more personal and even new equipment. Some of my colleagues are worried. This is just a simple project, and not even a succsessful one at that. We were told to keep doing what we are doinng, so... i guess the project catched someones eye?

Maybe exploration of yellow zone finaly will be easy for everyone? Who knows, maybe this little box would be able to help everyone to straight up remove dangers of yellow and red zones? I enjoy imagening how this little box would be able to create a whole city in a red zone! Just don't let anyone to plug in a fridge to main grid. But i digress.

Uhm... We have moved throuh to Attempt number seventeen and so far, not much luck! Lumert Case wasn't able to create anything were trying to do. No matter what kind of configuration we put inside, no matter what kind of formula is used inside this little box, we can't controll the result of an Lumert Case after it went in a contact with Delong Generator. Can't make any configuration on Lumert Case either, since data inside this box just a gibberish data after configuration! But for some reason it is still a data! At the very least it dosn't destroy the plates inside the box. Otherwise this whole project would'v cost went so high up... But u digress again.

My colegues are trying to make sence of this gibberish data, but so far no luck! Wish we could use a pure energy version, but it takes so much energy for a single crystal, that it's makes no sence to be used at all. So... The fact that crystals are not crumbling is actualy a plus! Now we need to find a way to organize them... What a pain! Anyway, seems like we will spend most of our time in blind guess! Until we find anything new... End of a record!

Record 5 - Maria Valder. □□ of □□ 2071. Project "Visitor".

I... I don't know what to say... Out of quriosity i have connected mop-bot to a "Visitor Box". And i have gotten myself a crystal version of a mop-bot... What strange... The crystal version of mop-bot is functional... but in a limited capacity... I made few observations and notes. He was as in primary settings, like straight from factory. And despite being configured, he kept loosing his configuration again and again...

After a hour of testing, i turned off the box. Just as usual i was forced to wait for twelve days before crystal version of mop bot dissapeared. Colleagues and "not my colleagues" were having concern with "Visitor Box". I already wanted to make a report on a findings if not for one thing.

Security! In a past few weeks all of security personal were replaced with someone else. Few of my collegues were missing. Something is going on. Concern is raised that our funding were cut a long time ago... and that our lab is in a list of being disbanded, but we are still operating?

I need a way to get this box out of the lab. But i don't know how...

*Static noise*

Maria Valder. □□ of □□ 2071. I have made a request for a field testing of "Visitor Box". And i was granted that wish, under request of doing regular reports! Meanwhile i have made a request for "prototype" no-one really knows what it is, but it is going to be a very special doll. I have to get this box out of here! I have to!

Record 6 - Maria Valder. □□ of □□ 2072.

I managed to get the doll and the box out! Me and my friend Sergei were going through much... And as i guessed. Once i left the lab for a field testing and stoped any kind of communication, they wiped out the lab. Gladly, i cleared all data i had there. Damn... I am sorry my friends, my colleagues... But it had to be done... I don't even know why i keep making this record...

So far Nita is doing fine. Oh... Nita is a name for a prototype doll that i had requested to make, and she is carrying the "Visitor Box" on herself. Few problems are worrying me. Despite big memory storage, she frequently forgets something. Probably because of "Visitor Box" influence. But mostly, she is capeble to remember major events in her life... But that leaves me worried. We have a great hunt on our tail. If she ends up in wrong hands. This will be bad for everyone... End of a record!
