RE: My return
Encryption: <Heuristic Encryption Protocol V.01>

Dear comrades,

As far as you probably know, I have returned to carrying out my duties as the CRO. It was a difficult recovery but due to some old friends it was possible for me to walk and speak on my own again. I am grateful to every one of you for your service. You can be sure that what is coming next will be no less impressive than what we have achieved so far.

Firstly, I would like to report on recent acquisition of the samples of Asurite gas and Xeno Relics. During my recent venture in deep Omicrons with the escort of quite helpful then-recruit and now-commissar of His Watchful Eye Natalia Koutolika on CPW "Svetlana", we managed to convince an independent miner to assist us with getting Asurite gas for our research. Preliminary studies indicate that it serves as a fuel and energy source for the REDACTED. However, the comparison of exotermal reaction thereof with our current hybrid fusion-fission reactor indicated the superiority of the latter. Thus, further studies of Asurite as an energy source are advised to be ceased. Its value as a chemical compound is yet to be studied. Remember, it is an artificially non-human produced compound and therefore, all necessary precautions are to be observed. Xeno artifacts are also to be studied afterwards in terms of the materials they consist of, and possible application.

Second, after some intelligence kindly provided by our comrades, we checked Rostok research facility in Anatolia system. The facility is still intact and was recently repaired and refurbished by our automatic transports. Although this place almost became a grave for me, I still do believe that the colonisation efforts are possible and can yield benefits for the Coalition and our research. In this regard, it is advisable to strengthen security of the facility and on-the-surface installations. Perhaps, we will deploy automatic gun platforms in the future. The base is open to all SCEC personnel effective from today.

Third, after observing what our comrades under Academic Kasatkin achieved while away from state bureaucracy and curious eyes of the politicians-supervisors, I want to adopt some of their experience. We shall work more tightly with Agency 72 and join their efforts in a few projects. Namely, it is the project "Overlord" and "Volhv". In this regard, there will be some changes in our policy but nothing regular personnel should worry about. This is not a warning, but an invitation to those who wish to extend their physical, and perhaps, mental capabilities. I will not lie - you will have to pay a great price - cybernetic augmenation is always a double edged sword. On the other hand, I have never felt as great as I do now, feeling the very power of technology that we are studying on my fingertips. Comrade Commander Stanislav already departed for the participation and will be unavailable for some time. If you have questions or audacious enough to volunteer in the absence of additional information - let me know. You have my assurances that it will be under my personal control and shall remain a secret.

Let me reiterate my being excited about returning to serve with you and my assurances of the future.
Serve the Motherland gloriously, and remember: failure is not an option.

Dr. Mstislav Belov
