Some stories are about the wars, the gods of the battlefield stomping about in their 'Mechs, the giants of destruction laying waste to all that they see.

But other stories, some of the ones that matter most, aren't about war at all. They're about the peace, and who lives inside of it.

It's a Peaceful Life after all, isn't it?

ROM Report: Project Charlie Kilo Sierra Delta

Date: February 17, 3033

Subject Alpha's DNA samples could not be obtained due to extreme security measures taken by the Wolf's Dragoons. Subject Bravo's were more accessible, but we only managed to acquire and preserve enough for the bare minimum of OPERATION: INSTABILITY to be attempted.

Agents are transporting the sample to Black Site Echo: Foxtrot. Once the assets arrive, complete duplication procedures will begin.

Subject Bravo will likely be better for OPERATION: INSTABILITY's success than Subject Alpha. Memory implantation will begin once the duplicate reaches 14-17. Planning will be done regarding the proper time to abduct and swap the Duplicate for Subject Bravo.

The report details the security increases for Black Site: Echo Foxtrot….


Date: June 9, 3042

The Duplicate of Subject Bravo is a near-perfect clone. Aside from minor cellular damage (which has been corrected where necessary), our clone will be ready for memory implantation within the recommended period.

This Agent recommends waiting until the swap and mental degradation of the duplicate can avoid notice just long enough for us to apply INSTABILITY. Due to the information collected through our assistance for DOPPELGANGER, we now know the length of time we can sustain and use implanted memories before the subject begins to break down.

The complex changes to the brain are simply not sustainable for long-term use and will lead to a complete mental break within five years of implantation, as other test subjects have proven.

Even if the duplicate lives long enough for her to complete the whole OPERATION: INSTABILITY and beyond, we must rely on something other than potential assistance past the five-year mark.

All experts at Black Site: Echo Foxtrot recommend that we begin memory implantation of the duplicate no later than 3048 and attempt to swap Subject Bravo no later than 3050 to gain as much benefit as possible during said time.

Date: October 5, 3045

The duplicate has aged up to compare to Subject Bravo, artificial growth hormones, and any errors introduced can be passed off as medical anomalies. The Duplicate appears to be the same age and physical structure as Subject Bravo. We will carefully monitor further growth to ensure that minor differences can be accounted for within regular human error. The appropriate chemicals will be prepared in two years for memory implantation, and agents are being recalled from both New Avalon and Tharkad to supply the information necessary for the implants.

Date: December 5, 3048

Memory implantation has begun, and the duplicate will be ready for swap next year. May God have mercy on us for the harm we are about to do…
