Send in the Drones

Doc Gibbons

Attention All Scientists and Operators of AppliedPrimate:

It is my duty and obligation to report to you all that after identifying a potentially serious threat to all Apekind, we have raised the APECON (Applied Primate Readiness Condition) to level 3 from level 4. As a result of this change in level we urge all employees to maintain round-the-clock readiness.

Late last night Mega Gold, Demon and myself were considering the curious and unexplained readings, both from Dr. Mandrill’s Transponder and the Revelation of Terrestrial Alignment. There are just too many possible theories as to the nearly identical outputs and none that seem more likely than the other with the limited information we possess. Because the data received is purely instrumental and not observational, I issued an order to “SEND IN THE DRONES!”

At this very moment a vanguard wing consisting of multiple drone squadrons has reached Plum Island and has initiated scanning and recon efforts on-site to hopefully collect more empirical data for us to draw on to formulate our next steps.

It would appear that we might be on the cusp of a legitimate breakthrough in our ongoing search for the Megas, or this could be yet another false alarm. In any event, stay vigilant and prepared for duty. I have a feeling we will require both the brains and the brawn of all members of the lab before this is over.
