As a result of the leak of information to the “reprehensible, war-monger
communist organization” Eastern Block, the eccentric corporation CerebrumInc
acted quickly in drastically reducing its workforce “in the interest of
security” and uprooting its operations to an undisclosed system. After a year’s
silence, CerebrumInc made its debut entry in the prestigious “Red Rally” race
across the Mars landscape. CerebrumInc’s entry was successful—the first winning
introductory entry in the history of the race. The corporation promised future
entries. Many criticized the corporation for using it as a publicity stunt to
smooth over rumors concerning the methods employed in reducing their workforce.
Further complaints and accusations were made concerning the corporation’s
alleged use of alien technology. CerebrumInc declined requests to inspect their
facilities or designs, again, “in the interest of security.” In a fit of
politics, the xenophobic IPRC (InterPlanetary Racing circuit) rescinded the
winning award and suspended CerebrumInc from future entries “until further
notice.”
This week CerebrumInc unveiled its next in the series of prototype fighters, the
F-3 Wasp. The F-3 Wasp
improves upon much of the technology used in the
F-2 Bat. The new fighter
features a smaller, yet more powerful core, a removable engine/core mount that
can be easily be handled in gravity by two persons and in 0 gravity by one, both
atmospheric and exospheric flight, and a more comfortable and integrated
cockpit. No details concerning the F-3 Wasp’s payload were disclosed. In an
attempt to discover the location the corporation’s facilities, analysts and
competitors alike have pored over the press release to identify the alien tech
that is obviously integrated into the new fighter. Nothing has been concluded.
Along with the press release for the F-3 Wasp came an uncharacteristic and
militant threat of offense from the corporation to the Eastern Block if any more
“brazen attempts at stealing our developed technology occurred.” This threat is
cause for concern because of the corporation’s secrecy, seemingly unlimited
resource, and now apparent ties with a potentially dangerous alien race.
