RESEARCHERS:

SAMPLE: No.0046
This sample is a combined telemetry recording unit of a reinforced data storage device (black box) for the [][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][] ASF-114, selected due to multiple issues found in quality assurance.
GENERAL PART QUALITY:
External Shell: No Issues
Structural Frame: No Issues
Control Unit: Data Anomaly, Major Damage
Cooling Unit: Minor Damage
Backup Power Unit: Major Damage
Backup Memory Unit: Data Anomaly
Internal Circuitry: Minor Damage
General Telemetry Sub-unit: Data Anomaly
Controls Telemetry Sub-unit: Data Anomaly
Weapon Telemetry Sub-unit: Data Anomaly
[REDACTED]: Data Anomaly
[REDACTED]: Data Anomaly
[REDACTED]: Major Damage
Summary: The part contains considerable damage and wear, as well as errors in the software. It is unfit for installation.
EVENT RESEARCH:
Data anomalies present are consistent with a system overload. The sample unit has overheated during the manufacturing stage, exact reason unknown. Data is partially corrupted. The recovered data is about [REDACTED].
OTHER:
This part is the only case of such damage in its production line. Other parts in the production batch did not sustain any damage. However, there are several (~20) other examples of similar cases found during this Research Event, where the control unit and [REDACTED] are overloaded, causing damage throughout the internals of the device. The pattern of such occurences only appear across a few manufacturing plants. meaning that it is possible that this is due to a localised issue.
You said that we should make sure that the [REDACTED] in black boxes are operational. Isn't it easier to remove this component from the design entirely? It isn't required for the normal operation of the black box, nor does it improve the system. What's going on? You seem so calm about this, [REDACTED]. This is [REDACTED], sir. Are you sure about this, [REDACTED]?
