Attention Epsilon Unit - Dynamic Ballistics Research Labs,
Your selection for the DT50 round was a success. In fact, due to the incredible capabilities of our round, we have gained the interest members of the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
Oddly enough, geologists are now interested in using our ballistic technology. The USGS feels that our penetrator rounds could be modified into powerful mining and research tools. We have just received a request for a specialized round that can replace the traditional drilling and blasting systems used in mines and quarries around the world.
Alpha has taken the idea from the tranquilizer and made a new round called the GS127 (Geological Surveyor: 12.7 mm). This projectile functions at incredibly low temperatures with explosives rather than sedatives. Now, we’ll be looking at the ability to carefully and precisely blast away rock formations. They have run some tests firing down into the ground and bedrock. The purpose of this round is to assist in mining, quarrying, and geologic projects.
Their data has been sent to you in another file. What we need from you is a selection for the temperature of the round that you think would be best suited for geological work, mining, and as a replacement for quarry drilling and blasting techniques. We want the temperature that is most beneficial and usable for the widest array of geological endeavors. The critical data is explained on your data chart.
As the technology for this round is based on our previous tranquilizer, we expect you to use your previous method for selection, with the following updates:
The “Range” category of the DT50 is to be replaced with the “Drill Depth” for scoring the GS127. Also, you will use “Directional Precision” in place of the “Effectiveness” score. Accuracy is to be rated similarly. The “Penetration” score has been replaced with the “Explosive Radius” statistic. Finally, there is a new “Manpower” score for which you must adjust your process accordingly.
Your selection should be submitted per standard procedure. You must write a detailed process as to how your came to your conclusion and why you selected the particular temperature. Any changes made in your process must be noted in your return letter. We will complete testing after we receive your selection.
Regards,
