LTC James Oberlin

LTC James Oberlin Reporting as Chief Army Scientific Advisort to the ATLAS Program, replacing MAJ Kirk Bentley, who was deemed unfit for the role.

The ATLAS program is moving slower than expected. I'm here to do what I can to step it into gear.

It is by my discretion that Washington will cut funding if the prototype does not yield scaleable results by April. We should not continue to pay for construction of the ATLAS Accelerator if the technology turns out to be incompatible.

### Report [3-12-76]

Prototype results have yielded moderate success. Dr. Hammond has succeeded in initiating light rainfall across a significant localized area.

Funding for the ATLAS Program will continue under the condition that Dr. Hammond invest more research into more high energy weather conditions.

I've given ATLAS engineers the go-ahead to initate constuction of the accelerator while we continue to improve the underlying technology of the ATLAS system. However, in an effort to light a fire under their ass, I've made it clear that funding could dry up if we encounter any more significant development delays.

### Report [08-20-76]

Dr. Hammond has been able to produce a wide variety of weather conditions based on the data his team has been bringing into the lab.

The latest prototype resulted in near-whiteout blizzard conditions, an unusual occurance in mid-August. Some of the local media is picking up on it, but nothing has been directed our way. Security is tight and I trust the personnel here to keep things under wraps. The automated security system we've installed has a way of discouraging loose lips.

I've got a meeting tomorrow with the top brass back in Washington to go over military application for this technology. The localized prototype won't be much use in a war, but could prove useful during small skirmishes or certain clandestine operations.

### Report [8-17-77]

Loading...

The ATLAS Project has been fully approved and funded for military applications.

This could prove to be a massive asset in the war effort against China. Imagine blanketing the nation in thick black clouds until the crops die out, wiping out naval ports with typhoons, or sending fierce lightning storms against vulnerable air bases to ground air units. Heck, we can even deploy ATLAS to quell any potential domestic uprisings. The sky's the limit here.

It is my assesement that the ATLAS system will diminish the threat of all-out nuclear war. No one would believe that a string of bad weather is under our control.

More bodies are being thrown at the ATLAS Accelerator, so we can hasten its production. Current projections place a completion date in the first quarter of next year.

### Report [10-18-77]

Two days ago, I received a letter from my superiors in Washington. From completely out of the blue, they were shutting ATLAS down. I was in total shock. I read the details and it was filled with the usual bullshit phrases like 'cost-cutting measures', 'risk assessment ratios' and 'taxpayer responsibilities.' It also said further instructions would follow.

This honestly doesn't make a bit of sense. I've decided to wait to discuss this with Dr. Hammond, as I'm certain hearing the news will send him off the deep end.

### Report [10-22-77]

As expected, I've received a follow-up letter from my commanding officer. I was to go back through all the data that Dr. Hammond collected and adjust the values and the results so that ATLAS looked like a failure.

Why were they burying the project that could shift the focus of the war? Why were they suddenly being so covert about the whole thing? I had a million questions, but I knew better than to call Washington and ask. Orders are orders.

I just broke the news to Hammond and he instantly flew into a rage. I had to get a couple of MP's to restrain him, I thought he was going literally kill me. Fortunately, he calmed down and then walked off the property without a word. I don't know if he'll be back or not, but I still have a job to do.
