Dr. Silverstein

Lab Notes

Dr. Silverstein left, along with half a dozen of our best programmers. Apparently they have an agreement to start a private startup that will present some of our findings as new research. It figures Silverstein would come up with a way to get rich and hog the limelight for discoveries we can never make public.

"The big exodus after Dr. Silverstein wasn't all bad. With him no longer swaggering around and getting in the way, Davids and Kohler were able to try out that perf package they wanted to run on Melchior core traffic. It worked better than anticipated. Once we work this into Melchior's central hub, we'll be able to communicate with dispersed XEDRA silos basically as fast as Melchior can process. That'll let us store Melchior's actual main unit back at Hub01, and just have little booster versions of it at the local lab level. $aving$ is a language admin speaks.

We are really obviously in heavier competition with the private industry than the other XEDRA silos. Melchior detected a fairly clever attempt at database injection through one of Melchior's access points to external units. It was shut down very quickly, but we traced the origin back to Dr. Silverstein and the group that left to form Uncanny. They already took half our best people, do they really have to try to steal our work too? Admin was unhelpful, no big surprise there. Everyone knows they're cozy with Silverstein. Don't know why he doesn't just ask them directly for all our most classified stuff.
