occurance,
I am placing a second level on this to make it more private.

+++++NOT-TO: UCAS Military Decryption Specialists Listening In

Ares Macrotech today detonated a low-yield, sub-tactical nuke in Chicago,
precisely at the site of the main hive and where we had noticed the earlier
preparations to ward the entire area and shield the bugs.

There was no radiation beyond the flash and no fallout. The reason for this
is unknown, but we recommend beginning research immediately into the effects
of EMPs on astral beings and constructions.

We will keep you informed as much as we can over these non-secure lines.

+++++NOT-TO Encryption dropped, UCAS Specialists Able To Listen In Again

Several Banshees attempted to escape from the quarantine zone. Two of the
three did not survive, although several individuals from within them did so.
The Army is trying to blame us, but they have no chance. We were told to
cover area 14 and not to leave it for any reason, and the Banshees passed
through area 12.

We felt that this was important enough to inform you of in case the Army
desires to hold it against us. We have duplicates of all the orders that we
can produce if they do attempt to hold it against us as a breach of contract.

That is all, sir.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Rachel, we just got news that an astral ward stopped the EMP and
emitted radiation from a low-yield nuke, about 1 kiloton. This means that
physical radiations may actually affect Astral constructions and beings, and
vice versa. Begin research IMMEDIATELY. Talk to me when you have a plan of
operations drawn up. You have three days for a preliminary report.]<<<<<
