Sapphire wakes up on... the surface of the moon? It's white and dusty and gravity feels weaker than it should. The sky is dark and she can see the Earth and Sun in the distance. Her right hand bears a glowing indigo ring, her left holds a similarly colored staff.
Transition to a public park in Washington DC somewhere that the transition is unlikely to be noticed but also close enough to facilitate the investigation.
Cadmus is a small privately owned genetics research laboratory. Their website has some vague corporate-speak about developing the next generation of genetics technologies, but no details about what they're actually working on.
Ring try to find any records on Cadmus computers about the incident. Pause when you find records or the estimated risk of detection is above 10%
"Compliance. Records acquired."
The ring has located two (2) files, since two is plural. The ring is very good at following instructions.
She reads the records. Depending on what they contain she might ask it for more.
The first file is an email from a Dr. Lyman to a Dr. Spence, asking if his team needs to pause the day's scheduled experiments due to 'the fire upstairs'. The second file is an automated log file named 'kr_SC2.syslog'. According to the ring's summary, this begins with relatively normal diagnostic information for a computer, until late in the night of July 4th, something happened which caused the computer to disconnect with many of the devices it had been communicating with, and many of the programs it was running to throw errors.
Ring try to find a record that explains what kr_SC2 was. Same criteria as before.
"Compliance."
The ring locates some internal IT documentation which implies that kr_SC2 is the second of four 'sustainment computers' for 'Project Kr'.
Ring how likely would you estimate detection is with the method you're currently using to obtain these files and is it increasing significantly with each additional search?
"0.2% chance that search has already been detected or information that will lead to future detection has already been made available, based on available information. Most files on Cadmus computers have already been downloaded, marginal risk of detection with additional searches is negligible."
"Compliance."
The ring locates a file, according to which: Project Kr is an initiative to produce a hybrid human-kryptonian clone in order to, if necessary, replace or destroy Superman, building upon the failures of Project Match.
Ring are any other sustainment computers still running in Cadmus?
How many of them? And can you tell what sort of being they're sustaining?
"2 sustainment computers connected with Project Kr. 4 sustainment computers connected with Project Match. 200 computers connected with cryogenic storage capsules. Further information may be available with scans."
"Compliance. Based on available records, the product of Project Kr is a synthetic hybrid of human, kryptonian, and genomorph species, who escaped the Cadmus facility the night of July 4th. The product of Project Match is a clone of Superman, of exclusively kryptonian genetic material, still present in his storage pod. Of 200 cryogenic storage capsules, 178 contain biological samples of extraterrestrial origin, used to create the genomorph species, and 1 contains an adolescent human male."
Are the human and Kryptonian healthy? Does it appear they could be safely removed?
"The human is in cryogenic suspension, but can be revived and healed. According to Cadmus records, the kryptonian was placed into permanent storage due to erratic and violent behavior. Based on available information, combat with a kryptonian is possible, but not advised."
