I cant post the first chapter of my story yet, but I can give you a little prequel and a summary. This story is about the emergence of a new resource on the planet, one that could come to replace oil and nuclear energy. Its properties are unknown, all that is known is that it appears as a liquid, and that one ounce has the power of a nuclear fission reactor.

DECRYPTION AND TRANSLATION AS FOLLOWS...

Colonel Kruslev, I apologise for the informality of this dispatch, but I need as many of the *UNKNOWN, DECRYPTION FAILED* as you can send. We have found something extrordinary at The Site. Doctor Videvovich and I have been studying it behind a radiation shield for the past few hours, it seems to be able to power everything in a room just by BEING THERE! It emits some odd radiation that we cant detect, that might explain the ability to power our equipment. Unfortunately, the rads seem to have a less pleasant side effect. Sgt. Gregori and his squad were the ones who found it about six clicks from Voldova, two miles east of Prime Site. They are still bleeding out of every orifice and mumbling when not gurgling. Poor bastards. We are shipping the Grey Matter, as some of the more humorous soldiers call it, over to your office in *DECRYPTION FAILED*.

I hope to see you soon,

Dr. Elena Dorvovitch
