Subject: RE: John Banana
What a coincidence. I, too, found one of these strange limericks in the Verruckt archive. Like this one:


"I once knew a soldier named Smokey

He slapped me on the head and awoke me

Turns out he was dead

I cut off his head

Yet but headless he still tried to choke me."


I fear this poor man "John" may have lost his mind in Verruckt.

Subject: Another One
My friend,

I found yet another of those limericks from the Verruckt archive. Here it goes:

"Despite the scary, anxious feeling

Killing walking dead is appealing

My first kill felt great

Felt like my first date

Kicking their brains right up to the ceiling."

I feel like the boy who wrote these was trying to tell us something. I look at the meter, the chosen words, but nothing comes to mind. Perhaps you will see something. Maybe it's the letters?

DK-MFK. Do you think this means anything? And then there's this one:

"Smokey and I were trapped in a room

We accepted our impending doom

'Til we noticed a monkey

Which seemed kind of funkey

Until we threw it and it went boom."


This John fellow must have been losing his mind. Monkeys that explode? Preposterous We should discuss this over coffee.

Maxis Files[]

From: Dr. Vannevar Bush
To: Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer
Date/Time: Monday, October 31, 1955
Subject: Maxis Files
My friend,


I have managed to pull down and decypher a handful of the Servant files from the Der Riese Datenbediensteter project. Dr. Maxis was a man ahead of his time. He was also a man obsessed and bordering on insane.


I will forward to you what I have translated thus far. It is frightening material to say the least, but perhaps that is merely my mind making a subconscious association with today's date.


How goes the recordings?

***DER RIESE RECORDING #1***


SUMMARY:

The following is a transcript of the first in a series of recordings that originated from the Der Riese test facility in Lower Silesia. The voice heard in this recording is confirmed as DR. LUDWIG MAXIS, a leading member of a German Top Secret elite research team known as Group 935.

The following text is presumed to be an introductory speech


**START**


[Static.]


MAXIS: Gentlemen. Allow me to take this opportunity to welcome you to Group 9-3-5. This is a prestigious moment in this history of our race. You represent the future of technological advancement. You are the pioneers of human discovery. In your hands lies the destiny of mankind. In our hands is a great power and with that power comes a price.


MAXIS (cont): You have volunteered to be part of this great experiment and with that decision comes the responsibility of absolute secrecy. No one is to know what you do, where you work, what our research has discovered, or what our purpose will be. You will have no further contact with your governments or your families. Your decision to fully dedicate your lives to Group 935 is absolute.


MAXIS (cont): In your lockers you will find your field ops manual which will direct you should our manifest get compromised. We cannot afford to let this power fall into the wrong hands and therefore the field ops manual should be considered your bible. Make your preparations now. A new dawn is beginning for mankind.

**START**


MAXIS: Initiating test number 3. Subject is within the test chamber. Activate power.

[Sound of a generator activating.]

RICHTOFEN: Oh... oh my God!

MAXIS: Get a hold of yourself and clean that up! Test number 3 unsuccessful. Test subject has been reduced to the same state as previous subjects. Clean up the test chamber and re-calibrate the system! Let’s do it again.

SAMANTHA: Yes, father. Oh, I love her.

MAXIS: You must feed her everyday. And walk her. And be very careful when you play with her. You know she's going to have puppies?

SAMANTHA: Really? Can I keep the puppies too, father?

MAXIS: We'll see Samantha. One step at a time.

[Dog whimpers.]

RICHTOFEN: It’s tied down now, Doctor Maxis.

MAXIS: Initiating test number 5. Subject is within the test chamber. Activate power.

[Sound of a generator activating.]

RICHTOFEN: Searching for vitals. No readings Doctor. And, the subject... has disappeared. Doctor Maxis, we’ve done it!

MAXIS: Don’t be foolish! Test number five is unsuccessful. Subject has vanished, yes, but has not reappeared at the mainframe. Recalibrate the damn system no-!

[Growling continues.]

MAXIS: Good. Look at me. (Snaps Fingers) Over Here! Good. Now walk forward.

[Growling and slow footsteps, source unknown.]

MAXIS: Excellent. Further. Keep coming.

[Footsteps stop but groaning continues.]

MAXIS: It’s all right. Stay there.

[Growling intensifies. Footsteps resume, faster.]

MAXIS: Calm down. I order you...

[Growling intensifies; struggle?]

***DER RIESE RECORDING #6***


SUMMARY:

The following is a transcript of the sixth in a series of recordings that originated from the Der Riese test facility in Lover Silesia. The voice heard in this recording is DR. LUDWIG MAXIS. This transcript is a dictation of a letter to the Reichstag High Command requesting additional funds for the Wunderwaffe projects. The recipient of this dictation is his presumed secretary, a woman by the name of SOPHIA (full identity unknown).

Note that Dr. Maxis makes reference to “operative in America.” The identities of these operatives were never uncovered.

**START**

[Static.]

MAXIS: Sophia, this letter is to go to the Reichstag High Command immediately.

MAXIS (cont): Gentlemen, it is with the utmost urgency that I draw your attention to the lack of funding being injected into The Giant project. While I believe we are close to realizing the ultimate plan, we still have several years of development before it is ready. It would be folly to cut our expenditure so early in our development.

MAXIS (cont): As you know, early tests on the DG—2 have easily outperformed expectations and we fully anticipate mass producing the Wunderwaffe within the next few years. Work on the matter transferrer has, however, come to a standstill. We simply do not have enough Element 115 to continue the experiments. The test subjects have survived teleportation but are currently unresponsive to commands and cannot be controlled. If we are to overcome this obstacle we need to increase the frequency and size of the experiment.

MAXIS (cont) : To this end, I suggest we find not only a regular supply of 115, but that we also find a larger conduit to channel the energy. Our operatives in America have informed us that the US have a large supply of the element at the Nevada base, so time is of the essence if we are to stay ahead of them. This cannot be done if you cut the budget; nor can it be done if you insist on pressuring us into action before we are ready. I am of course available for discussion of the matter but in the meantime, I will continue with the work here and try to win this damned war. Signed etc., etc. Doctor Maxis.

SUMMARY:

The following is a transcript of the seventh in a series of recordings that originated from the Der Riese test facility. The first voice heard in this recording is DR. LUDWIG MAXIS. The second voice is DR. EDWARD RICHTOFEN. The third belongs to Dr. Maxis’s daughter SAMANTHA.

The events that follow indicate a betrayal on the part of Dr. Richtofen that results in the apparent death of both Dr. Maxis and his daughter, Samantha. However, their deaths cannot be confirmed.

**START

[Static.]

MAXIS: Initiating test number six. Subject is within test chamber. Activate power.

[Sound of a generator activating.]

MAXIS: Damn it, Edward! Did you set up the device correctly?

RICHTOFEN: Yes Doctor. As per your specifications.

MAXIS: If you had done it to my specifications then it would have worked, wouldn‘t it? As usual your incompetence has.... What?

RICHTOFEN: Do you hear that, Doctor?

MAXIS: Quiet, you fool. Test number six is a failure. But, the experiment has caused some kind of electrical force to energize within the chamber. Well, open the door.

RICHTOFEN: Doctor, I don’t think...

MAXIS: Open the door now!

[The sound of a door opening.]

[A dog growls.]

SAMANTHA: Daddy, what are you doing with Fluffy?

MAXIS: Damn it, Samantha. I told you never to come in here. Edward, get her out of here.

RICHTOFEN: Yes Doctor.

[Samantha screams.]

SAMANTHA: What’s wrong with her? Daddy, what did you do? Fluffy!

MAXIS: Come back here. Samantha. Stop her! Easy. Come here Samantha. Good girl, honey. Gently, Samantha. That’s not Fluffy anymore. We must get out of here!

[The sound of a door closing.]

MAXIS: What? Edward what are you doing? Open the door. Edward. Open this door now.

SAMANTHA: Dad, I'm scared.

MAXIS: Damn you.... Stay by me, Samantha.

RICHTOFEN: Goodbye, Doctor Maxis.

[Sound of a generator activating.]
