Halfway through the show, Quentin is shown with his back to the camera, text scrolling across his screen. DATELINE seemed oblivious: on closer inspection, Quentin was displaying a file which listed various MIL and GOV sites which allegedly had autopsies of extra-terrestrials on record, information about UFO crash sites, amd detailed governmental research on alien beings. By December, that DATELINE episode had created quite a stir within the hacker community. Who was Quentin? What file was he displaying? Was this an elaborate hoax, a joke which failed to gain the attention of NBC? At HoHoCon 1992 in Houston, Bloodaxe and Holiday explained that the file did exist and the information it contained was, in fact, true. Lending some credence to the story, well-placed sources indicated that the White House had requested a copy of the episode from NBC. Bloodaxe and Holiday refused to name the people involved, but explained that a relatively unknown group had formed to pursue a project they referred to variously as "Project ALF" and "Project Green Cheese," searching government computers for any evidence which might verify a UFO cover-up. Apparently they struck pay dirt. By the summer of 1993, at least one member of Project Green Cheese had "disappeared." White House aide Vincent Foster turned up dead after an apparent suicide; among documents found in Foster's office possibly linking President Clinton to a failed Arkansas Savings & Loan, a videotape was also found: the DATELINE episode on hackers. Apparently buoyed by their success, the Green Cheese group began scanning an unpublished prefix in the 202 NPA toward the end of the summer. They were surprised to learn that nearly every number in that prefix was answered by the same authoritative voice asking, "Who is this?" Not to be discouraged, the group continued until they happened upon a lone DEC server. There they uncovered documentation suggesting covert action of a different kind: a cover-up instigated by the three-letter agencies and NASA, perpetrated upon the public with the unwitting aid of the media in the early 1970s, beginning with the death of three astronauts. What follows is an excerpt of their discovery.

TO: Thomas J. Kelley, Director, PPYRUS Section FROM: Bill Brown, PP Deputy Chief SUBJ: Preliminary Briefing #1 Special Projects, PPYRUS Pursuant to reg. 3-2638-A, it is my responsibility as Deputy Chief, this section, to inform and apprise the incoming Director of all special projects planned or currently underway, as well as incidental or related projects. PPYRUS projects, this Administration, include: Project Inception ------- --------- MAGIC 5/69 SKY-HOOK 7/69 ARAGON 11/69 ANTIGONE 1/70 KILO 9/70 ORACLE 4/71 DPULTRA 8/71 PPYRUS related projects, this Administration, include: Project Inception ------- --------- UMENSCH 2/63 CAPRICORN 7/68 Of these projects, DPULTRA (and two related projects, UMENSCH and CAPRICORN) require your immediate attention and approval.

BACKGROUND, PROJECT CAPRICORN ---------- ------- --------- By 1965, NASA's public relations machine was in high gear, advertising amazing (and non-existent) advances in American space technology and setting an ambitious schedule for the Space Agency's top priority: a manned space flight to the moon by the end of the decade. Despite the few successes NASA and the Air Force had with rocketry, in a memo to the President, dated 11/13/67, NASA reluctantly expressed some doubt that a moon mission could be accomplished even by 1973. The President made it clear that the moon mission was, by now, more of a political mission than one of science, and its success was of the utmost national priority. World sentiment at the time favored the Russians, their flawless successes a seeming vindication of the power and motivation of the Communist system. Further, the President felt that a success could deflect attention from the Vietnam war and re-invigorate public sentiment in the United States toward the nation, the Administration, and the ingenuity of American technology. As a contingency for failure, CAPRICORN was instigated, its final approval to be decided by the middle of the following year in a meeting between the President, DIRNASA, DIRCIA, DIRNSA and attendant adjutants. The President summed CAPRICORN up in these words, "If we can't be heroes, we can damn well act like heroes!" CAPRICORN's mission was a relatively simple one: covert deception of the public and media, under the guidance of PSYOPS and PPYRUS; a manned moon mission would be simulated and pre-recorded in a controlled environment, later to be broadcast "live." By June of 1968, CAPRICORN was recommended and Presidential approval given. (2) This memorandum is VIOLET and SENSITIVE; Do not circulate in paper or electronic form outside of your section.

BACKGROUND, PROJECT CAPRICORN (cont'd) ---------- ------- --------- CAPRICORN was an unqualified success resulting in, among other things, later congressional approval for a large appropriation of funds to further NASA's successful research. BACKGROUND, PROJECT UMENSCH ---------- ------- ------- In February of 1963, DARPA gained oversight of an ancillary NASA research project that began with the discovery of efficient micro-machines and light, extraordinarily strong alloys. These new discoveries implied the possibility for advance along a relatively new field of science: cybernetics. DARPA reacted enthusiastically by forming project UMENSCH. Most information on UMENSCH, DARPA is unwilling to share. But this much is clear: under the direction of DARPA, NASA got the opportunity to test this technology on a human subject with the crash of an experimental flying-wing in 1966. As his CLASSIFIED service record indicates for the years 1960 - 1965, Lieutenant Colonel Virgil Grissom (see Air Force files for Grissom, Virgil I., USAF 563-87-2981; CI DL 118-26-9069) had an exemplary record as an Air Force test pilot, including a stint as a U2 pilot during 1956-1959, performing reconnaissance missions over Cuba and Southeastern China. In fact, it was Grissom's missions which confirmed the mass starvation of over 10 million Manchurian Chinese in 1959. Grissom barely survived an XF-17 crash at Edwards Air Force Base, September 17, 1966. His right arm was badly crushed during an emergency ejection shortly after take-off. DARPA offered Grissom a chance to regain the limb through risky, untried technology: a cybernetically-enhanced prosthetic implant. DARPA termed the marriage of cybernetic implants with biology, BIONICs. The surgery was successful well beyond UMENSCH's projections; not only did Grissom's BIONIC arm function as well as his original arm, but in conjunction with a BIONICly enhanced upper skeleture, Virgil's right arm was capable of lifting several hundred pounds and inflicting marked fatigue in steel objects. DARPA's investment of technology and secrets in Virgil Grissom in effect made Grissom UMENSCH property and necessarily privy to several sensitive projects.

[CONTINUE] ^M DL 433-54-3937 10/28/71 Central Intelligence Agency Internal Memorandum PPYRUS SECTION This memorandum is VIOLET and SENSITIVE; Do not circulate in paper or electronic form outside of your section. BACKGROUND, PROJECT UMENSCH (cont'd) ---------- ------- ------- Colonel Grissom was an obvious astronaut candidate and by the following year was training for GEMINI. In fact, because of Grissom's access to a project as sensitive as UMENSCH, Grissom was later tapped to aid in the staging of CAPRICORN. THE APOLLO LAUNCHPAD FIRE; GRISSOM, YOUNG, & WHITE --- ------ --------- ---- ------- ----- - ----- You're already well aware of the fire this July on the Apollo launchpad, which reportedly killed astronauts Grissom, Young and White. What you are not aware of, however, is that Grissom managed, with the aid of BIONICs, to escape the space capsule just before Young and White were asphyxiated. It is not clear why Grissom apparently made no attempt to rescue his crew-mates or why he used the ensuing confusion to leave Canaveral. For whatever reason, Grissom is now a loose-cannon. Despite a massive, but low-key manhunt, the officially-dead ex-astronaut's whereabouts are currently unknown, though we have reason to believe he may have made his way to California or Texas. We suspect disillusion with the American space program -- CAPRICORN, in particular -- may lead Grissom to go public and compromise UMENSCH and CAPRICORN. BACKGROUND, PROJECT DPULTRA ---------- ------- ------- "The most convincing lie is the one that's half true..." -- Samuel Butler DPULTRA is a damage-control project of utmost priority. Its goal is to desensitize the American public to the potential existence of a BIONIC-enabled man and secondarily, any allegations concerning CAPRICORN, the ludicrous portrayal of the first discrediting the second. PSYOPS' proposed project involves the production of a network television show, produced in part with Company funds, Pro-US propagandizing, which will lionize the American Intelligence Community and plant the seed in the public's mind that projects like CAPRICORN and UMENSCH are impossible -- due to the inherent silliness of the show's plotlines, week after week.

BACKGROUND, PROJECT DPULTRA (cont'd) ---------- ------- ------- DPULTRA's success is directly related to the Nielsen ratings it can garnish and to ensure its success, PSYOPS personnel will be involved in writing the scripts. PSYOPS suggests peppering the show's plots with psychological archetypes -- symbols from Jung's collective unconscious -- and possibly even subliminals (if need be). The story line will, nevertheless, be played straight but also utterly implausibly. I would like to discuss DPULTRA further with you in person at our next Monday-morning meeting.

TO: Thomas J. Kelley, Director, PPYRUS Section FROM: Bill Brown, PP Deputy Chief SUBJ: DPULTRA PROJECT DPULTRA OUTLINE ------- ------- ------- Following our meeting Monday, this is an update on DPULTRA. In keeping with our RMD objectives, we've begun working on ideas this week. Much progress, although finished scripts are probably a month or two away, depending on the final series terms from American Broadcasting. We've settled on character names and sketches: DRAMATIS PERSONAE Dr. Rudy Wells, An otherwise unremarkable man, the genius behind BIONICs Oscar Goldman, Director of a secret governmental intelligence agency, OSI Steve Austin, Astronaut/Test Pilot/OSI Agent; renowned as the first Man on the Moon. Similarity to the name Sam Houston results from the necessity to attract Texas viewers particularly (as well as Californians). Following is a list of show ideas for the first season, along with input from the PSYOPS officers. PSYOPS wants us to plant collective archetypes and possibly subliminals in order to carve the show's subtext into the mind as deep as possible, and to generate the largest market share possible. These psychological implants will be joined with or disguised under ephemeral pop culture references, such as UFOs, Aztecs, Bigfoot, Cold Warrior, Earthquakes, the mystique of the American Indian, and the paranormal.

PROJECT DPULTRA OUTLINE (cont'd) ------- ------- ------- SUPPORTING CHARACTERS Venus Probe, Earth-launched probe mistakenly returns, wreaking havoc Sasquatch, Otherwise known as "Big Foot;" a UFOnaut with BIONICs Farrah Fawcett, Reporter/Journalist foil for Steve Austin Aztec Warrior, CHARIOTS OF THE GODS to its ultimate conclusion Bionic Boy, Temporarily BIONIC-enabled Gary Savin, Heretofore unknown, rogue $7 million man William Shatner, ...and dolphins. "Something Wonderful..." happens to astronaut Bill on one of his space-walks Fembots, Female grotesques; "All this, and BIONICs, too!" Evil androids created by an unnamed, nefarious agency Abridged list of possible episodes include: Sasquatch --------- During an OSI science investigation of the San Andreas fault in the wilderness of Northern California, Steve encounters Big Foot. Steve later learns that Big Foot is the product of extra-terrestrial genetics and cybernetics, but his purpose on Earth is never clarified. In a later episode, Steve re-visits the heavily forested area and initiates a friendship with Sasquatch, eventually saving his life. Venus Probe ----------- An interplanetary probe (like the planned Viking probes) destined for Venus slingshots through the alien atmosphere and returns to Earth. Its computer program doesn't realize that anything's wrong, so it begins its collection routines. Unfortunately, it has returned to our planet with an extremely tough armor plating (resulting from a chemical reaction with Venus's atmosphere) and it's zigzagging its way through Southern California. It possesses extraordinary collection equipment which in this environment are effective weapons. Anyone who gets near it is in great danger. Eventually, Austin and the California National Guard defeat the device by luring it into an open pit filled with very caustic acid.

PROJECT DPULTRA OUTLINE (cont'd) ------- ------- ------- Amnesia ------- As the result of a head injury, Steve is stricken with amnesia. Consequently, he forgets that he possesses BIONIC powers. He ends up living out an alternate possible life -- moves in with a woman and gets a job as a construction worker. Everything is fine until Steve happens upon a woman and her child, pinned inside a wrecked car. He tears away the metal and extricates the people, who are grateful but become frightened when they see wires sticking out of a tear in his flannel shirt. Eventually, OSI catches up to him before anything too out of hand occurs, and Steve regains his memory by episode's end. If this show is a success in its first season, PSYOPS would like to consider a spin-off involving a second BIONIC character. The spin-off would include: ADDITIONAL CHARACTERS Jamie Sommers, Substitute teacher/ex-tennis pro; an unlikely OSI agent; A love-interest for Steve, Jamie obtains her BIONICs after a parachuting accident Max the Dog, Formerly a laboratory subject, horribly burnt in a fire; Now BIONIC-enabled. Psychologically traumatized, Max goes berserk at the first sign of flame Jamie Sommers ------------- Jamie, a junior high school substitute teacher and ex-tennis pro, and Steve are engaged to be married. At this point, Jamie knows nothing of Steve's involvement with OSI or his BIONIC abilities. On a vacation parachuting trip, Jamie is injured, paralyzed. Steve pleads with Dr. Wells to restore her limbs through BIONICs. Wells accedes. Except that Jamie has amnesia and has no idea who Steve is. Jamie is instructed in her new BIONIC abilities, and begins to exercise them, when her body rejects the BIONIC implants, physically and emotionally traumatizing Jamie. OSI eventually solves the implant rejection problem, but Rudi cautions Steve that if he tells her of her past, it may induce the trauma of the BIONIC rejection again. Steve lives with the pain of knowing that Jamie is his first love and that, for fear of her safety, can never tell her.

PROJECT DPULTRA OUTLINE (cont'd) ------- ------- ------- Aztec Warrior ----- ------- Investigating an abandoned WW II bunker along the California coast which seems to be emitting powerful radio-frequencies, Jamie discovers that an ancient Aztec pyramid lies below the bunker's foundation and is now accessible through a hidden tunnel. In the pyramid, Jamie is confronted with an 800-year-old Aztec warrior bent on protecting the contents of the pyramid and repelling intruders. In an allusion to CHARIOTS OF THE GODS, extra-terrestrials are receiving from the pyramid's beacon the electronic version of an invitation to re-visit the planet. Jamie learns, however, that chemicals seeded into the atmosphere as part of a NASA project to end continental drought will ultimately interfere with the propulsion system of the alien craft. Fearing the accidental destruction of the aliens will bring extra-terrestrial retaliation, Jamie thwarts the Aztec guard and destroys the beacon.

TO: Bill Brown, PP Deputy Chief FROM: Thomas J. Kelley, Director, PPYRUS Section SUBJ: DPULTRA Nearly two years into the project, I congratulate you on DPULTRA's success; the show has consistently rated high in the Nielsens, topping STARSKY & HUTCH and occasionally beating out M*A*S*H*. However, there seem to be several problems and the show requires a nearly intolerable suspension of disbelief. To wit: 1. Running at 60 mph, why don't the BIONIC Man's sneakers ever wear out? 2. Steve Austin never received a BIONIC heart, spine, respiratory system, musculature or skeleture. How is it that his body doesn't collapse when he lifts objects that weigh tons? 3. Most of Steve's body seems to be metallic; how does he make it past airport metal detectors? 4. How can Steve's BIONICs defy principles of physics, like inertia? 5. Steve's BIONIC implants are nuclear-powered -- an energy source potentially capable of generating more heat than the sun. How can Steve's BIONICs slow down and even fail when exposed to cold? 6. Steve Austin's BIONICs cost $6 million -- a sum that seems laughably inexpensive. Why is the BIONIC Woman's pricetag Classified? 7. How can a world-famous, instantly recognizable astronaut make a "perfect undercover agent?" 8. A BIONIC dog? What's next? A BIONIC earthworm? A BIONIC tarantula? 9. Jamie Sommers' cover includes continuing her vocation as a substitute teacher; how does she make time to be a secret agent? 10. Where do the Fembots come from? Are they important to the show? 11. Re: The Venus Probe episode -- why is a probe whose purpose is to collect soil samples, heavily endowed with weapons? How can that probe not realize it's not on Venus? If it's armored enough to withstand the atmosphere of Venus, how was Steve able to destroy it in a pit of acid? Why was it malevolent?
