SRPA Research Journal 5

Property of Dr. Julia Cathcart

Station: SRPA 7

Date: January 5, 1953

''Our research team suffered a serious and tragic accident yesterday while experimenting with recently recovered gray tech components. Our team was performing a routine test using electrical impulses as inputs to one of the modules when it emitted an incredibly powerful, focused burst of energy. The energy burst tore a hole through three floors of our research facility. Five members of our research staff were killed and twenty-eight others were badly injured. I escaped serious injury only because I happened to be on the opposite side of the module when it emitted the burst.  Due to safety concerns, all gray tech research will now be relocated to SRPA 11 in Black Rock Desert, Nevada. Additional precautions and protocols are being put inplace regarding the handling of these materials in order to avoid any further accidents of this magnitude. ''
