From: cperkins@triop.com To: announce@triop.com , announce@citidas.triop.com Date: 01.Jan.2071 Subject: Citidas Station online FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION We, the Board of Directors, are proud to announce the activation and habitation of our new orbital research facility, Space Station Citidas (or Citidas Station) in orbit around Saturn, the culmination of three years of intense research, development, and construction. Space Station Citidas has a length of 427 meters and a weight of two million metric tonnes. It features the latest in cutting-edge space technologies, including the following: * A unified gravity generation system, allowing the station personell to maintain a vertical orientation without the need for gravity-by-rotation * A complete line of service robotics, to lighten employee workload and raise station standard of living * SHODAN, the Streamlined Hyper Optimized Data Access Network, which manages all automated and data management systems aboard Citidas, ushering in a new era of Station Automation Citidas Station will serve as the bulwark for several of TriOp's latest research and development projects, which include: * Pharmocological Research * Medical Cybernetics Development * Advanced Robotics * Neurological and Pathological Vaccines We would like to especially thank the InterSpace consortium for granting us permission to construct the station in its present location, as well as all the hard working, dedicated employees who made this station possible.

This area is off-limits to general personnel. === From: anelson@citidas.triop.com To: drv@furbies.vapunet.com Date: 30.Jan.71 Subject: Gravity Experiments ***>>>=== CONTENT DECRYPTION BEGINS ===<<<*** Most Noble, Most Knowledgeable, and Most Benificent Doctor; The current trials and experiments with the artifical gravity generators continue apace on Citidas Station. The capture of this technology is a windfall; and the exploitation of it doubly so. Already we have begun research into possible defensive and offensive applications, that should be easily reproducible once any problems with the equipment are ironed out. However, these side-applications aside, our main objectives of exploiting the warping and distorting applications of the artificial gravity generators continue on schedule. We are currently obtaining a secluded storage area on the Science Level of Citidas Station to continue our work unimpeded. Within six months, we shall be ready for the final experiment: the creation of a forced-distortion trans-dimensional portal. I await notice of any corrections or updates that you may require. Ever your obedient, Aram Leader, Controller, and Director of Dimensional Gate Project #55731 Ever-Loyal Servitor to the Prince of Technology ***>>>=== CONTENT DECRYPTION ENDS ===<<<***
