Subject: O.S.A.T. Chip Malfunction.

As feared, the Onboard Simulation and Testing Chip installed in the Security Concepts RoboCop unit has malfunctioned due to a time-date glitch. While the circuitry leading to and from the chip was isolated and the unit seems to be functioning properly, there may be more problems with the installed components than we first thought. It will take at least a few months for the errors to become evident, but we should keep a constant eye on the RoboCop unit for the slightest hint of malfunction, as it is not feasible to take it down for repairs at this present time, considering we still do not know exactly what needs to be repaired.

Subject: O.S.A.T. Difficulties continue.

Reports have come in from Metro West that the RoboCop unit is indeed starting to malfunction. The constant occurence of dreams and memory loops during off-duty hours has now expanded to active patrol and on-duty assignments. It has been reported that RoboCop wandered into an abandoned warehouse on 10-05-1999 and opened fire, apparently detecting criminals inside. Fortunately, no one was in the building at the time. The department has taken the unit offline temporarily as technicians work to find the glitch and terminate it. I will keep you posted with further details.

Subject: Technological Terrorists have taken advantage of O.S.A.T malfunction, Project RoboCop severely compromised.

Early this morning, a group of terrorists specializing in computer espionage and calling themselves the "Tolliver Element," infiltrated the Security Concepts Laboratory and have implanted a virus into RoboCop's neural matrix, offsetting even further the O.S.A.T malfunction. The unit has been disabled and placed into a cryogenic sleep while scientists work to figure out exactly what happened, and how to reverse the damage done. We are working to capture the party responsible in the hopes that they have an anti-virus program, as none of our own measures seem to be working at this time.

Subject: O.S.A.T. Terrorists captured.

One of the Tolliver Element's leading hackers, Arnie Pweiss, turned himself over to the authorities as well as indicating where Tolliver's base of operations is located. The raid was a stunning success and the majority of the Tolliver Element gang was captured. Pweiss has indicated in his confession that there is a way to repair the RoboCop unit, however, his initial estimates on the amount of work and money involved are staggering. Unless a less expensive alternative can be found soon, this department is recommending the termination of the RoboCop project.

Subject: Project "Mind's Eye."

One of the scientists called in to work on the O.S.A.T. problem has come up with a unique, but dangerous solution. Using a virtual reality system devised by Omni Militech for controlling certain robotic units in the field remotely, the team has devised an engine based on Pweiss's observations of the behavior of the glitch he observed while programming in the virus. The engine itself requires few resources to run and therefore doesn't require a full bootup for the RoboCop unit to function. However, the system cannot be automated, and somewhere between one and thirty-two volunteers from the police department are required to actually enter the operation arena via the VR interface, and destroy the viral code before external repairs can be effected. The engine has been made to simulate current police actions that the officers are used to, as well as a RoboCop-like interface if more power is needed. If successful, the RoboCop unit will be restored to full functionality. If the plan fails, may God have mercy on their souls.
