The Aquinas Terminal

 * 1) LDeBeers -- BPage, Re: Bovine Manipulation
 * 2) Would like to investigate resurrection of the "bovine manipulation project" (MJID -- 9803HU8932) with a focus on grays
 * 3) Originally a failure, successful propaganda to divert attention from "Dreamland" research
 * 4) W/ "recent advances" in genetic research, DB believes grays could be engied to protect MJ12 facs and serve as "meme indirection"
 * 5) DeBeers -- Page in Re: Interesting idea, but thinks MJ12's research can be put to better use pursuing human augmentation. "I'll bring up the idea with Stanton and Morgan ."
 * 6) MJJ12 coexist with Illuminati before split or is DeBeers a prisoner?
 * 7) Page -- Simons (Secondary Unit)
 * 8) Believes I should be brought up in a more supervised environment than Paul, doubts Paul's usefulness as primary Would rather that " At least one of the secondary units be under our direct control"
 * 9) Orders Simons to terminate parents, see I'm not harmed. "If it becomes necessary, his brother is expendable." I was grown in tank...scis who were my "parents" could have killed me?
 * 10) JC'S CHILDHOOD WAS THE TRUMAN SHOW
 * 11) JMacdonald -- JDwight (Aquinas Secure?)
 * 12) Packet analysis in v1.82 of the Protocol (thought it was legislation? perhaps it was monitor too and Dae/IC were AI analysis), found "a quirk in the security encryption algorithms that acts just like a backdoor"
 * 13) Subtle flaw, could open entire system to someone who knew what they were doing by building a "time-differentiation key." Also allows for "reformulate entire messages end-to-end." "Would require someone to matrix together several offsets from several packets"
 * 14) Mention to Page,"maybe get some points before we shipped ." (???)

Analysis
Page 47
 * 1) DeBeers to Page. Could be pre-MJ12 split.
 * 2) MJID-9803HU8932. Manipulation of cow DNA, focal on Grays. Not monkeys. Clones to be grown in cows somehow?
 * 3) Dreamland in reference to A51 here. Previously done after Roswell, most likely.
 * 4) "Recent advances" could be cloning, nanoaugs, or both. MJ12 sees a mention. I think that based on this information, we can assume that MJ12 was simply a research arm of the Illuminati that Page somehow converted to his own uses before defecting.
 * 5) DeBeers puts Page down like a disinterested father declining to play catch with his son. Kind of sad, and humanizes Page on a level or two. Stanton and Morgan are mentioned; Dowd isn't so much a businessman as a scientist in this context. Both are very high up in the Illuminati's chain, with Page attempting to break in but making little progress.
 * 6) DeBeers could currently be a prisoner against Page, with the Illuminati holding his father figure hostage for some reason. The coexistence as research arm makes more sense, however.
 * 7) Page to Simons, discussing JC as they did in the opening cutscene. Fairly recent -- during JC/Paul's childhood.
 * 8) Are the parents here surrogates or simply fabricated memories? If it's the former, growth acceleration doesn't do much and doesn't last for too long; may be just to speed up gestation. Multiple secondary units hinted, seen deeper in the complex.
 * 9) Scientists did hold the keys to my survival. Could they have become unstable when confronted with a life/death scenario and pulled the plug on Paul/JC in their final moments? Or are physical surrogates a possibility? Both theories are plausible but the cancel each other out handily.
 * 10) JMacdonald and JDwight are never seen nor mentioned outside of this e-mail.
 * 11) Resolved in earlier analyses of the project. Backdoor attacks are also fairly common methods of taking over systems.
 * 12) Backdoor is time-based -- not unlike DNS "cache poisoning" mentioned in this Wired article. Which is pretty sick, considering that most people hadn't heard of anything like it until 2008.
 * 13) Aquinas is a product that Page industries was contracted to build a few years before the formation of UNATCO and the start of Deus Ex. This was clarified earlier in the analysis.
