<div>When AMRAD was building AO-27, there was an alleged,
completely single-sourced, unverified report that alligator
clip lead cables were used within the satellite (per AMRAD
tradition). Those involved, especially Sandy, kept saying
that those reports were not necessarily accurate. It is
understood that the DoD is sending a crew up to “recover”
AO-27 and answer this question once and for all. Mulder and
Scully are suiting up for this mission.</div>
