I am sorry to report that Marcusvinicius A. Andrade has not been seen anywhere near Northern California.

However, in late October routine anti-terrorism tests revealed the presence of minute quantities of unusual metabolized triglicerides in the waste water treatment system of the San Francisco Bay. They were later traced back to San Francisco Airport. The Stanford Chemistry Department has been unable to match this particular mix of triglicerides with any known substance or organism (including the ones recently extracted from ALH 84001).

We are endeavoring to discover the source of this small but unprecedented contamination. A classified AI search algorithm, jointly developed by Digital Equipment Corporation and a highly classified US government agency, has shown a correlation between these facts and the ones reported in your web page. This is why we are contacting you.

At this point in our investigation, we would be very interested in obtaining, say, a couple metric tons of torresmo in order to perform a thorough chemical and metabolic analysis against the triglicerides traces. Unfortunately, the DEA informs us that all the torresmo they have been able to seize so far has been lost due to accidental ingestion. The CDC has recovered small samples and byproducts but, as a precaution, temporarily refuses to move either the samples or the DEA agents out of Level 2 containment.

Therefore, any information you may have on how to purchase, procure, manufacture, or otherwise obtain large quantities of torresmo would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Luca Cardelli Head, Low-correlation Tactical Search Program Digital SRC, 130 Lytton Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301, USA. Click here for webpage
