May 10th 2200 NordGronland Research Facility, Greenland Blasphemy is a sin, taking inspiration is not. The technology was available, but it had never been tested to any effect, well, not to our scale anyways. Testing will be particularly dangerous, as the effects will be felt and heard, quiet possibly to the capital. If we can get and object to maintain the exact speed of a sonic boom, it will multiply, bringing more and more force with it. Until it hits, bringing all the built up energy and momentum with it. A crashing, ringing shock wave capable of crippling nigh anything, if successful, we will reenter the world stage. Small scale tests and progress to be made, prototypes are being developed. More to come with all updates.-Bryce Martins |

May 31st NordGronland Research Facility, Greenland Unexpected setbacks have caused much delay and many problems, however, it is safe to assume that is resolved. One of the major problems that must be resolved is that speed must remain constant and not drift very much. Atmospheric conditions will make the effectiveness vary to an extent nothing too dramatic, but it is still noteworthy. The actual rockets will need to be specially designed and fabricated. Front facing boosters will be required to prevent the projectile from reaching too much speed and having the shock waves wane and desynchronize. Progress is expected to continue forward assuming that the delays will be overcome. -Bryce Martins |

June 23 NordGronland Research Facility, Greenland One point was brought up that we had thought of, but had few solutions with. The rocket will remain a constant (and very fast) speed that will make it virtually untouchable, until it slows to the Goldilocks-zone (Not my favorite name we came up with, but the least complex one). Then it will slow down to the speed of sound and hold it until it reaches impact on the ground. At this point they very susceptible to being grounded and stopped. The next logical step is to increase the amount of rockets fired, however this would cause a chain reaction and cause none of the rockets to work. A style of cluster munitions must be utilized to achieve the desired amount of damage. We plan on testing at the end of next month. We shall see if the results will be worth putting into mass production. If not, we may be back up to the drawing board. -Bryce Martins |

![]() July 30th NordGronland Research Facility, Greenland Today is the day we see if all of our trial and tribulations have paid off. The rocket prototype is prepped and ready to launch. We've set up a test location and have sensory devices ready to record the impact to see if we did our calculations correctly, as well as to see if the materials work. We're prepared for anything and can't get our hopes up, but we expect this to work well after all the work we put in it. -Bryce Martins |

January 1st, 2202 NordGronland Research Facility, Greenland We finally got the funding to try again. I almost lost my job with that last fiasco. We have much less funding this time, but we still have enough to work a skeleton crew and most of the groundwork is already completed. We need to run test and figure out what went wrong last time and prevent it from happening again. It doesn't help that it was over a year ago. We have to be more careful this time and try to make sure we don't displease our sponsors. As of now we still have no idea what caused the massive failure, so we don't know if we have to change the design. |

January 3rd, 2202 NordGronland Research Facility, Greenland We discovered what was wrong and it was the most frustrated I felt in all of my life. They was a loose rivet that rattled and created just enough friction to create a static spark. This rivet was on the fuel fuselage. The entire missile exploded due to a rivet that was missed in the inspections. Everything else worked, just that one rivet sparked on that dry, dry day. I am absolutely infuriated that I lost over half my team, 7/8ths of my funding, and my job, over a single rivet. Everything else is in order, reconstruction will begin shortly. |

February 1st Mizule, Greenland I just talked with a pleasant individual whom was very concerned with the state of our nation's defense. He has granted me 3.5 billion dollars to finish the project, but warned me that it has to work this time. I had no plans of making it fail before, but now I'm even more nervous. |

Spoiler: click to toggle February 28th NordGronland Research Facility, Greenland Everything is complete. The schematics needed nothing more than some dusting off and three and a half billion dorns goes a long way. The thing with this rocket is that it will be incredibly dangerous to directly observe the effects of the sonic force. A special chamber had to be constructed to be bomb and soundproof. Okay so the test will be occurring in a few minutes, the chamber is sealed tightly and a vacuum is held inside the walls. Hopefully it won't kill or disfigure us too badly. It probably isn't too good to make gallows humor when we are literally about to see a brand new beast of destruction unleashed, but that's just me. Let's see if the design works. |
