Jacob Taylor here. I've got an update on the investigation into the OTO. That's Otherworld Technologies Organization for the new people on the Network: they're a group that's been responsible for a lot of the bad things that have happened this year. The report is here for anyone who wants to take a look at it.
If you're going after the OTO, be careful. They're seriously bad news. But we need to keep chasing them down, before they hurt more people. The government's been supporting our operations so far: they're on our side on this one. If you find anything out, you can tell me or another member of the RISE team.
That's not the only thing I wanted to talk about, though. Last week, a friend of mine took a life in combat. He's facing the consequences for it now. I've done the same thing plenty of times, in the military and out of it. And I know some of the OTO's scientists didn't survive the raid on their cloning facility last month.
It's a heavy thing to deal with. Sometimes it's necessary. But a lot of people think imPorts are dangerous right now. If we do too much damage, we're going to risk proving them right about us. Doesn't matter if it's because we're battling bad guys.
I think this fight with the OTO is just getting started. It's not going to be the last time we have to make those kinds of choices. And we need to work together if we're going to beat them. I figure that'll be easier if we're all clear on where we stand. About what we're willing to do to get it done.
So here's what I want to ask you: would you kill, to save a life? Or is that going too far for you? And how do you want to hold people accountable for something like that?

Quantum is supposed to deal with things at an unimaginably small scale- particles that make up atoms, which make up everything. And it's governed by rules that seem counter-intuitive, if not impossible. So maybe they were trying to transmute- to alter matter at its most fundamental level?
If it's not something you're familiar with, perhaps it's an idea they got from the Porter.

Your guess sounds as good as any. Being able to control matter that way could be worth a lot. Enough to take big risks chasing the research for it.

I think it's time to talk to some scientists- would Stark know anything about this?

Wish a couple of my crewmates were here right now. We had some really good tech specialists on the team back home. This is the kind of problem they would just eat up.
