Hey Klemmy-

This is Robert. I'd like to tell you how things are going with the new "projects" we're making in Australia and NZ. Yes, it is supposed to be "Xenizen North Ocewhatty." But nevermind that.

With the war winding down and all that, we took the chance to restart some ideas we were batting around before the chingon started. Both inspired by pop culture.

Item one is the happy fun ball.

What I'm thinking is that we've been experimenting with soem Xenofauna, particularly spores found in Yunnan that explode like hell. I found that when they are broken down chemically, they are nothing more than pyrophoric compounds, similar to phosphourous and napalm.

We still have some of those spores-those Towelheads in Yunnan are preventing us from getting anymore-so we decided to put them in a more stable material that will not only keep it from going off every five minutes, but will also amplify its effects. Research with synthetic compounds derived from the spores indicates that the best so far is a gel compound, made of a gel liquid, derived from some old Nickelodeon Slime, impreganted with sodium and extra phsophourous and some octo-nitro-cubane and other stuff, using a special Xenofauna derived fixative found in the spore. We discovered that when mixed with water, this stuff flames up worse than napalm, and stinks, and melts the s**t out of anything it touches. This stuff burns like hell; we had to put it in special lead containers and chill this stuff to prevent an accident.

We found that, when tested on Australian rabbit populations, this binary arrangement, placed inside a construct that looks like a superball, this stuff bursts, exploding in a 10m radius and setting everything on fire. Water just makes it worse; oxygen makes it ravenous. Took us several tons of dynamite and six 500 man fire teams to prevent this from being a disaster.

I think that this stuff is awesome. I vote we make this, and distribute this to bombers and SpecOps teams. Perhaps a bomber delivery system, similar to the Headcrab thingy would be nice. That, and this be used as a special demo charge.

Klemmy-

This is Vince. Listen, I tested the HPHB-1 Explosive (officially the High-explosive PhospHourous Ball Model 1), usign a SuperBall-style casing.

IT WORKS WONDERS!

The SuperBall casing was weakened, to allow the materials inside to do their magic and explode out without much wasted effort. However, you can't bounce it on concrete; one of my guys was nearly burned to death learning that. Also, we find that the bouncing effect the casing provides leads it to bounce like all hell, apparently, we used the really good polymers. We clocked it at nearly 60 mph before breaking! It broke after 10 seconds; caused a lot of scares I tell ya what.

Tested the new version on more Aussie rabbits. Those f**kers scattered like cats on crack when they met this. About half of the corpses we could recover were dead from blunt force trauma, presumably from the balls as they bounced around before exploding.

I tell you, this is gonna rule. Make this now!

Dr. Desiderio-

Well, I spoke to Mr. Lew and the Board of Directors. Production will occur in our plants in San Bernardino, Tongjing California, and our new plant in Port Hedland, XNO, so the public doesn't know until we tell them.

The Prez is interested, laughed at the name (big SNL fan). Wants to use this on the Mormons, assured them it would work.....

As for the weapon, we use an airdropped thing, similar to the Headcrab Bomb. But, we have to cool the bomb to prevent explosion. Also, the size of the ball you sent us, 60mm, seems to fit in most light mortars with modification. Also seems to work as a demo charge, when wired to a special detonator.

I like the idea. You get a free case of Suntory, on us.
