DISCIPLINARY ACTION
This memorandum is in relation to the disciplinary action taken on Richard Schwenkman on 6/13/11. Following a phone conversation with Executive-Director Kravid, Schwenkman barged into Operations Director Broome's office and demanded a face-to-face meeting. Following the meeting he was apprehended by security and detained for 3 hours before being released under the orders of Executive-Director Kravid.
I wanted to raise to your attention the topic of this meeting, as it may not have been made available in the initial disciplinary report. Doctor Schwenkman is concerned for the viability and safety surrounding Project LookingGlass. I spoke with Broome and he relayed Schwenkman's concerns and I have to say I too am troubled by them. Schwenkman claims to have sent you a multi-point report about the dangers of the LookingGlass project, but I will reiterate his highest-level concerns here for your convenience:
1) Strangelet: Doctor Schwenkman believes that LookingGlass could create a theoretical particle known as a strangelet, if activated, which could unravel all matter in the universe on a molecular level.
2) Singularity: Doctor Schwenkman also believes there is an equal likelihood that an improperly calibrated or attuned LookingGlass could create a singularity that could potentially destroy Earth.
3) Acausal Quantum Event: Doctor Schwenkman also believes that LookingGlass could create an acausal quantum event that he defined like "an earthquake in the fabric of reality" upsetting and upending physics or even historic events.
4) Overlay: Schwenkman believes that with 100% certainty turning on LookingGlass again could cause an overlay event, either sending or receiving matter from one quantum state to another, with unknown consequences.
Operations Director Broome would like to discuss these concerns with you at your earliest convenience.
Regards,
Desmond Harper
