Waves

Motivation is not an unlimited power source.  It, like the tree of liberty, needs to be refreshed on occasion.  The problem is that I know where the tree is, but I can’t figure out where motivation originates.  A source similar to the Fountain of Wisdom would be ideal, but I’ve never heard stories of one existing.  Someone somewhere would have slipped up by now and said something about it.  The staff needs a distraction to re-motivate them to achieve their goals after Fred’s abduction.  My job description does not include chief motivator, but that may have to change.

I’ve noticed that a few members have not been meeting their project milestones and it is starting to upset me.  The track season is approaching and we are not yet ready to start destroying apexes and client vehicles.  I hate it when we’re not ready.  Despite what you may read below, we are not building prototypes of any devices that might be mentioned if anyone asks.  The following is a hypothetical exercise designed to expand the perception of what reality is.

Since finding a motivation source is going to take more time than I have available for the task, I am looking into more traditional methods while we work toward our breakthrough.  I have developed an ingenious fitness motivator that will guarantee the bottom third employees up their game before the first workout.  This will also tell me who wants to be part of the team.  I will not personally be participating in this program for obvious reasons.

If motivation is a wave like radio, all we need to do is find the right frequency to harness it.  Before you dismiss my supposition as ludicrous, ask yourself a couple questions.  How do you know for certain that something that can defy most of your senses exists?  Upon what can you base your belief that radio waves exist in the form we're told they do if they can't be seen, heard, or felt without the use of special equipment?  If you can interact with radio waves without equipment, we have a position at AcMo Labs for you with an immediate start date.   Have you felt one as it passed through you during its trip?  How do we know there aren't millions of other waves in existence that we also can't see?  These waves could have escaped detection because we lack the technology required to build adequate detectors.  These mysterious and unknown waves could be the key to levitation and telekinesis.  Right now I’m beaming thoughts out toward space, but they keep falling short.  I know I need an amplifier.

That might be normal, or it could be a rift in the time-space continuum.    

I’m tired of not knowing if I’m really receiving radio waves on my car radio, or if they’re some form of magic.  The only way to know for certain is to find all currently undiscovered waves and measure the level of magic contained within them.  The standard scientific approach has not yet yielded the results we expected.  AcMo is dedicating resources to this project to do what others have been too frightened to do.  We will bring invisible waves into the visible light spectrum.  I apologize in advance if our pioneering work reveals that there is a monster under the bed.

I am confident in our design, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities, but this project is going to take more than a weekend to complete.  Some may wonder why AcMo would pursue this.  If you don’t consider because we can a sufficient answer, would the judges accept that we want to be first to market with a new product that identifies waves that can't be seen, felt, or heard, but may exist anyway?  Once the waves have been proven to exist, we can work on manipulating them for future revenue streams.

This search may create advancements that will allow us to see through walls without exposing ourselves to massive doses of radiation in the process.  We can then use this technology to stand outside the walls of the other F1 factories and learn their construction secrets.  It appears there are no laws preventing us from seeing through walls, so we need to be quick about this before the legislators catch the loophole.

Sometimes it can be beneficial to think of ways to repurpose waves we already know exist instead of spending time trying to find new waves.  The above illustration has given me the ultimate plan to raise the Scuderia AcMo F-One team's competitiveness.  This will guarantee us race wins if we can get it to work exactly how the diagram depicts it.  We just need to substitute our F-One car—completed or not, it won’t matter—for that police car and wait until we're about to get lapped by the leaders before we shut them down.

This shut down technology should have been built into the car from the beginning.  I hope Snob will be able to retrofit the shut down switch into our fantastic plastic chassis.  The success of the team depends on it.
