Dr. Falkner,

I'm Dr. Annalise Meyers, lead researcher on Project BLUE DOOR. You may have heard of this project before, as a historical curiosity. In the early days of the Department of External Observation, we were given a mandate to build an interdimensional tunneling device, with the aim of establishing faster-than-light communications without violating causality. Our original tests were inconclusive, and the project was mothballed.

Earlier this year, Director Moffat reactivated BLUE DOOR with a specific directive. He believes that something took Dr. Davis and Agent Yero into another dimension. We've since been concentrating our efforts to creating a path to follow them.

This month, we succeeded. We opened a tear, 15 centimeters across, into another dimension. We project that we'll be able to accommodate human traversal in six months.

However, we have a problem, and Dr. Li said you might be able to help. I understand that JUNCTION ADVANCE is having issues sourcing enough STRANGE MATTER to test with.

Well, right now, we've got too much. The tear flooded our testing room with so much STRANGE MATTER, it must be like air on the other side. There were no casualties, but all our equipment was transmuted into iron filings. We need some kind of shielding.

Interdepartmental cooperation normally involves a lot of paperwork, but it's clear that this project means a great deal to the director—all the red tape's been cut for us. We can start tomorrow, if you like.

What do you say? Let's help each other out.

Dr. Meyers
