#r-0

Project Precipice: [REDACTED]-1 was designed to mimic the function of [REDACTED]-0, a manmade structure dating back several hundred years. It is believed that the creators of said structure designed it to connect with the divine. After the events of [CLASSIFIED], numerous unauthorised simulations have been run by Dr H Wells. According to his data, it would be ideal to create an exact mechanical copy of [REDACTED]-0 and create more compact versions later on.

R-1: Frame is arch-like, mounted on a platform. Co-ordinates would be input via attached computer. AETHER cylinder installed in platform via hatch at back. Different amounts of AETHER is required for alternating sizes of objects/people entering and exiting, as too high an amount can have severe injuries. Decommissioned due to I Wells incident.

R-2: An exact reconstruction of R-0, with dials on side being replaced by outlets feeding into a computer (which inputs co-ordinates). Testing proved successful after sending a camera feed through after numerous tests to see if R-2 could function. Land was found, later built upon to gather data and harvest more AETHER. Decommissioned due to size and energy inefficiency.

R-3: A size modification of R-2, designed to take up less space and consume considerably less AETHER than its predecessor. On some occasions, there have been serious AETHER fluctuations. As a result, the next incarnation requires re-evaluating the design (as well as further improvements). Decommissioned due to risk of death.

R-4: The appearance of R-1 was adopted and blended with the structure of R-0, resulting in a block-like doorway mounted on a platform. Tests show that R-4 is running as intended, no further development needed as of yet.

Colonization: Numerous sites have been discovered thanks to Project Precipice. AETHER plants have been established, allowing Lumitech to utilize it however we see fit. It does, of course, mean that constant maintenance is needed. The solution? Specimen 1’s offspring. It also gave us the space and materials needed to create long-term research bases and model cities to test prototype weaponry. In fact, tests on the TD Project have yielded promising results. The staff at Fort Rosner are looking into trying to develop a way for TD-1’s wings to act as weaponry, as well as continuing to make sure it becomes everything it is designed to be: a soldier.
