The X-Project

[copied via text to all adults' phones]

Leonard's phone just went offline, and EMS in the neighborhood of his office is reporting an explosion in the area. From reports, it sounds like a bombing.

===ALERT===

Multiple panic buttons hit about 15 seconds ago, close proximity to each other, tracking now.

Garrison, Jay and Dani - I believe Pete Wisdom was also with them. No details and no one's answering the emergency page. GPS locations are being sent to team communicators now.

I'll be catching a plane late tonight for Vienna. Something of a research project - if it pans out into anything more serious, I may be calling for some backup. I will be checking in regularly, however, and shouldn't be gone long.

Now that the all-clear has been tentatively given, I'm back. Jennie and Marius are as well, the weekend passed without incident, which I think somehow means the two of them deserve a medal. I'll get to work on reconfiguring new phones for everyone who lost theirs.

By the way, what exactly is school protocol for notifying parents about these situations?

Three panic buttons hit, within five seconds of each other. Kyle, Marius, and Jennie. Phones are offline, but I'm transmitting the last coordinates from their GPS to the communication server and the Blackbird.

Go, already!

As one of the few NON-hungover staff members today, I just wanted to give an update to those of you who aren't worshipping the porcelain god, mainlining aspirin, or out having a hair of the dog (why do they call it that?).

- New flight software for the Blackbird is compiled and ready for installation.
- New security tracking protocols are online and burned to DVD on a daily basis. If anyone wants to try and make sense of the flight paths over the mansion and into the lake last night, I can provide aeronautical data. By the way, you two also set off nearly every security sensor in the place last night with that stunt. Thankfully, I was awake and monitoring them and it didn't go directly to the mansion-wide audio alarm.
- Regarding Mr. Allerdyce: I'm assuming no new security protocols need to be implemented, given his background? I could always call up Remy and Pete and have them check on what he's been up to in the past year...


If anyone needs me, I will be on a boat.

Well, since all my access codes pop up as "staff" now, that makes this paperwork that Kuk left for me make so much more sense. If I could get a day or two to readjust and get my daily routine straightened out, I'll want to have a quick brainstorming session about some of the stuff I brought back from the security convention. Nothing major - five days and no one there even had a patch on any of the tech I've developed, but I got some neat ideas to brainstorm off of.

Also, Mr. Marko - I noticed something on the blueprints for the suite I'm in that I want to bend your ear about when you've got time.
