Congratulations

Elanor, my congratulations. The T3 test was a success. I know I have expressed my doubts at times, but if I questioned you, it was, ultimately, in service of bringing us to this very point we now stand at. I am honored to be your colleague, and cannot express my excitement at what lies ahead of us.

Thank you, Derek. I must admit I am somewhat in shock. I was convinced the Lens would work, but there is a world of difference between belief and knowledge, in my opinion. I've been working in Reactors for so long now, it's hard to imagine no longer needing it. I had similar feelings after Flathill, but this is certainly different. The goal at CC was always to test the system and then bring it online at Cascade. Obviously the focus there shifted to A1, but today is different. I'll miss Reactors, as strange as that sounds. One learns the quirks of equipment, its tones and noises - like a personality. I feel you'll know what I mean, that it's a bit like abandoning a friend! But I'm letting the emotion of today carry me away. Our achievements in Reactors were immense. A dozen worlds visited. Countless discoveries, yet there is so much more ahead of us! It is difficult to imagine. I look forward to exploring together with you and the rest of our team. In the words of Curie; Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. We're well on our way.
