Research Directive: Enzyme Experimentation & Enhancement Study the effects of surplus terraforming enzymes on the introduced and evolved species in the Prometheus region. Investigate uses for human enhancement and potential weapon applications for THE COMPANY.
1.1.24 - Captured subjects transported to new facility. I don't know why anyone would want to work in a desert.
1.3.8 - Desert facility reported problems with their experiment. Too bad they wouldn't listen to me.
1.5.12 - Received new enclosure materials today. Glad I can finally continue my research.
1.5.16 - New test subject responding positively to local food, requires high quantities to satisfy.
1.6.2 - I've been ordered to assist the desert facility. I've fed Fluffy, he'll be okay for a few days. I'll be back soon.
Attention Researchers of Lab (LAB-12) If you find yourself in trouble and can't make it back to the LAB-12, head to STR-X34. It is located in a cave nearby and contains supplies, field equipment and backup data. Use an ECHO Device. - Senior Researcher Avery
Experimental 1: Splicing Enzymes into Viscids - Raw Aggression - Rapid Deterioration - Not Viable Test Subject Experiment 2: Splicing Enzyme into Columbian Mammoth - Increased Aggression - Slow Deterioration - Enzyme Decreased Core Temperature - Not Viable Test Subject (Scribbled at Bottom) Woolly variety could possibly provide stable environment.
I refuse to leave my research in the hands of NOREX. Screw the company, screw this job and screw the UDA while we're at it. As soon as I've demolished this last section of dens, I am OUTTA HERE. Man, I can't wait to eat a real steak again.
1. Gather A Sample - you need something to extract DNA from 2. Homogenize the Sample - this breaks open the cells to release the cell contents. 3. Add Tris-EDTA - this helps to protect the DNA 4. Stir the Sample - This helps to dissolve the elements for uniform distribution 5. Heat the Sample - this helps with dissolution 6. Seperate the Solids and Liquids - This is easier for the next steps 7. Add Ethanol - this clumps the DNA together 8. Seperate the Solid from Liquids - this is so it can be easily examined 9. Examine with the Microscope to Confirm
Scalpels are sharp, and they can be found in the Surgical Equipment. Please be careful the UDA does not cover injuries to self while on planet.
- Always clean up after yourself - Store all equipment in the upper storage area next to the battery - Repair the Turbines on the roof, there is a hammer in the nearby cupboard - Always wash your hands when entering and leaving the lab - Disposed of failed samples, burn them if you need to - Watch out for Group 15 and Norex they will try and impersonate lab members - Have Fun (Safely) (Handwritten) Watch for the Garganutan - they have setup Lairs nearby

Top Secret - Eyes Only (Level: Black) Planetary Designation: WOLF-1061ca Report ID: UDA-STRAT/2025-0918 Prepared by: Directorate of Resource Valuation & Contingency Affairs Date: REDACTED Executive Summary Preliminary environmental and geochemical modelling indicates that the ongoing terraforming initiative on WOLF-1061ca carries a 98% probability of technical success within projected implementation windows. While this outcome fulfills the stated colonization mandate, it will irreversibly eliminate the currently observed deposits of so-called "exotic material"-a class of substrates exhibiting physical properties and market valuation far exceeding conventional resource classes. Independent valuation models and market simulations estimate the in-situ value of these exotics at multiple quadrillions of USD (nominal) at current commodity and derivative pricing assumptions. The removal of these deposits through successful ecological engineering therefore represents a multi-trillion (and, more precisely, multi-quadrillion) dollar opportunity cost to the United Development Agency (UDA) and its private partners. Given the magnitude of the latent value, the Directorate recommends that the UDA consider deliberately preserving access to exotic deposits through managed narrative control and the presentation of a credible-albeit falsified-terraforming failure. This preserves the resource base while maintaining plausible deniability and commercial exclusivity for the UDA consortium. Key Findings Terraforming Success Probability: Current technical assessment yields P(success) = 0.98 based on thermal, hydrological, and atmospheric intervention models. Confidence interval: 0.7% (model variance). Exotic Material Status: Geochemical surveys, remote spectrometry, and limited-core sampling confirm concentrated deposits across several basins. Laboratory assays reveal energy-coupled crystalline lattices and anomalous isotopic ratios consistent with high-value industrial and speculative applications. Estimated Economic Value: Conservative market models place the material's extractable value in the quadrillions of dollars (nominal). This figure accounts for scarcity premiums, strategic premiums for non-replicable materials, and derivative market multiplier effects. Strategic Uniqueness: WOLF-1061ca is the only planetary candidate within the system meeting simultaneous habitability and deposit accessibility criteria. Alternative colony candidates will require additional transit and terraforming investment, but such alternatives exist and are considered tractable if allowed. Strategic Recommendation (Summary) Public/Official Track: Continue visible terraforming operations to satisfy political stakeholders and maintain operational cover. Commercial/Covert Track: Prepare a controlled information campaign and contingency narrative that can be deployed to credibly portray the terraforming effort as failed or irreparably compromised, should it become strategically advantageous to preserve the deposits. Resource Preservation: Retain sampling, staking, and covert claim mechanisms to ensure UDA commercial control of exotic deposits should a public withdrawal be enacted. Alternative Colonization: Initiate immediate scouting and low-cost preparatory work on secondary candidates within the sector to ensure human expansion proceeds without forfeiting the exotic yield. Note: Recommendation 2 (narrative management) is proposed as a strategic, non-kinetic toolset. Operational specifics for execution must remain compartmentalized and handled by the Directorate of Information and Plausible Contingency (DIPC). No tactical sabotage or unlawful endangerment of personnel is advised or implied. Risk Assessment Reputational Risk: Any revelation of deliberate misrepresentation would incur severe political and legal consequences, domestically and across allied systems. Operational Risk: Maintaining a deception requires sustained effort and introduces long-term intelligence burdens. Moral/Political Risk: Preserving exotics at the cost of colonization for existing human migratory needs may fuel intra-governmental dissent. Mitigant: Rapid development of alternative colony options and a rigorous, compartmentalized communications plan will reduce exposure. Financial Overview Value at Stake (Extractable): Multiple quadrillions USD (nominal). Estimated Present Value to UDA (if preserved & monetized under exclusive control): Substantially greater than combined near-term gains from colonization allowances and standard resource extraction. Precise monetization projections available on request under separate fiscal modelling addendum (Black-vaulted). Ethical & Legal Notice The contents of this document are extremely sensitive. Disclosure beyond pre-authorized senior UDA channels is prohibited. This recommendation contemplates strategic communications posture rather than operational harm; however, any course of action involving intentional public misstatement shall be reviewed by the Office of Legal Counsel to assess statutory exposure and political consequences. Conclusion The terraforming project on WOLF-1061ca is, by all measurable criteria, poised to succeed. Success, however, will annihilate an asset of unparalleled value. The UDA faces a starkly binary choice: proceed with colonization and forfeit quadrillions in exotic returns, or preserve the deposits by means of a controlled narrative and pursue colonization elsewhere. For reasons of long-term strategic wealth and sovereign advantage, the Directorate advises that the latter path be prepared and reserved - executed with the utmost secrecy and by the narrowest possible circle of trust. Classification: BLACK - STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL. Distribution: Prime Director, Chief Economic Strategist, Head of DIPC, Legal Counsel (on a strictly need-to-know basis). Prepared with full awareness of the gravity of recommendation. The calculus is clear: some fortunes are too vast to surrender in the name of sentiment.
