SRPA Intelligence Memorandum 23


 * Subject: Daedalus Located in Iceland


 * 12-Jun-1953


 * SRPA reconnaissance teams have located Daedalus in Holar, Iceland. They report that
 * the Chimera are funneling all their gray tech to the Holar Tower. Our analysts believe
 * the Chimera have begun construction of the Prometheus Weapon inside the tower.
 * Daedalus suffered a series of setbacks at Bryce Canyon, losing significant quantities of
 * gray tech as well as many of his highest ranking commanders. It appears Specter
 * Team's attacks on the Bryce Canyon reactors were responsible for the destruction of at
 * least four neighboring Chimeran towers. This series of defeats has greatly disrupted
 * Daedalus' plans, and he may be trying to build the Prometheus Weapon as a means of
 * counterattack.


 * Project Prometheus researchers at SRPA 11 now reported that the Prometheus Weapon
 * could be much more dangerous than we have presumed. They have created
 * mathematical extrapolation models based on the observed power outputs from a
 * single gray tech component. Even if the Prometheus Weapon were compromised of only
 * 100 components, it would have an energy potential of 99.2 zettajoules - roughly
 * equivalent to twenty-three billion kilotons of TNT. This implies that the weapon is
 * effectively a doomsday device, capable of wiping out all but the most primitive life on
 * the planet. For this reason the Project Prometheus team believes it is unlikely the
 * Chimera will attempt to use it unless they have a means of escaping the planet.
