Dark Lens

To/From: djanek@cascade.internal.gate, enewman@cascade.internal.gate

Elanor, I've been reading through reports on your T3 experiments (I know you hate the phrase 'dark lens' but everyone else seems to call it that now). Firstly, I take my hat off to you. It is an incredible piece of work. You've managed to create a reliable targeting system for perforation portals. It's beyond anything we expected. But I'm also concerned. It seems to me that there are insufficient failsafes around it. I'm not even sure how you'd turn it off, frankly. Are we moving a bit too fast here?

Daniel, thank you, and yes I understand your concerns. But I feel that the risks are both minor and manageable. It's not designed to be "turned off." There's no way around that.

I did some rough calculations. It would take only minor perturbations to throw the system into disarray. We could end up with portals popping up... well, everywhere.

I understand, but if we didn't think the system was secure, we wouldn't be using it.
