SRPA Intelligence Memorandum 17

Subject: Chimera Continuing to Activate Towers Worldwide

25-May-53

''Reports from British Intelligence and SRPA aerial reconnaissance of South America confirm that the Chimera are activating tower nodes across the planet. We have documented fifty-eight active towers spread across the U.S. South America, Iceland, Africa, Europe, and Asia. The active towers each emit a beam of energy into the sky that then arcs and connects to the nearest active towers. The largest of the active towers, known as "hub towers", are powerful enough to transmit energy between the continents. The Holar, Iceland tower - near the former location of SRPA Station Igloo - is one such hub tower. SRPA intelligence analysts are still trying to determine the purpose of the web of energy encircling the planet. As of yet it does not pose a threat to either our ground or air units. However, the energy web continues to grow larger and stronger each day. It is urgent that we discover its purpose before the Chimera capture it.''
