'''Dr. Yokohama''': We've learned the enemy has powerful encryption technology, years ahead of anything in existence, and our traditional security measures might as well be absent in face of this threat. I have re-tasked some of our programmers to work with LILI on making our system less vulnerable. Decoding this chip gave us great insight and yes, we will have more secure communications and be able to hack things more effectively but we'll need time to come up with some prototypes. I hope to have the first of these ready for field work soon.

Operation Spectral Hydra

Jeffrey: With our doctor out of the equation, I think our resources would be best focused on the chip. Plus it's a lot less likely to suddenly get loose and kill us all. Although I have rewatched the Terminator series just in case.
Charles Gordon: I agree that the chip should be top priority. I also believe that we do have other doctors on staff, and anything we can learn from that bear anatomy would be very valuable. Given our lack of field medical staff, the last thing we need is to be hit with something we completely do not understand and have no ability to puzzle out on the fly.

Oil Rig

Jeffrey: I think our focus should be on the Neutronium. We at least need to know what the stuff is so we can gauge its potential. Once we get its basics, then we can reverse engineer the North Korean technology. I'm still not sure why you brought the ninjas back with us. Are they actually a threat to the US? I thought they'd be too busy with their fight against China to be a threat to us.

Charles Gordon: Our directive indicates we must always attempt to gather intel when possible, and the opportunity to interrogate agents of the enemy was too great a carrot to leave dangling. It may be a long shot, but what we learn from them could be vital. On the other subject, I also agree on the import of the captured technology and the metal. If we can learn how it is used and what it is capable of we might be more able to predict what the enemy will attempt next.

Completed Research

Jeffrey: So, what exactly have we learned from this chip? I mean, do we have more secure communications or can we hack other peoples' shit more effectively? Do we have sniffers that can find these things in the field?
