Completed Projects

Alien Code Chip This device, though damaged when the radio it was attached to was disabled, gives some insight into how the aliens can co-opt terrestrial technology. Deciphering the alien's programming language is still an obstacle but Dr. Yokohama and team are already making strides in compiling a rough grammar and syntax. Even with these limitations, the team discovered this chip was designed to bore into XCOM communications and transmit certain signals to an outside listener. The level of miniaturization technology has also paved the way for new projects and refining existing equipment. There is no way to tell how much eavesdropping the aliens managed to do before the radio was disabled however.
