We have had several new developments over the last two weeks. First, Our Beta site is now up and running with 4 of our original gantries. For security reasons, only a few select people know its location, but it will allow us to begin testing the effects of the Russell process on existing gantries. Already, we have found several differences from our Advanced Diagnostics and Development Platform for Next Generation ElseWhen Translocation Gantry (or ADDPNGEWTG). But we believe we will have these resolved shortly.

Also, we have made some modifications to allow multiple simultaneous translocations from single ADDPNGEWTG, and allowing single researchers to work on various components which require several translocated elements to be in play at the same time. This will allow us to begin testing camera pods, and other elements, without the expense of an additional multi-billion dollar gantry.

Finally, we have successfully translocated the standard camera pod using the Russell process. However, upon arriving at the Wiseguy’s Wake race course, the camera pods thrusters stopped functioning, and the unit dropped to the ground. Video transmission continued, but the pod could not move to its designated position or track designated racers. One of our researchers has already found the problem and has begun working to fix it.

Well, that all I can talk about for now. Until next time, as a previous VGL explorer once said, “Nanu nanu”.
