R&D vs MANAGEMENT
Subject: Max Mod Feasibility Study // Thread: 8 messages // Status: Unresolved
After extensive analysis, we've concluded that implanting a beverage dispensing system into the human chest cavity is, to put it scientifically, impossible. The laws of thermodynamics do not support this. Please see attached 400-page report.
We don't believe in impossible. Please try harder. Also, can you add Bluetooth?
Bluetooth to WHAT? The beverage? Also we've reviewed your 'Maxwell Technology' documentation and it's just Maxwell's equations with the word 'beverage' written in the margins.
Bluetooth to everything. Also, customers want propellers. Please add propellers.
WHERE would the propellers GO?
That's an R&D question. Figure it out. The propellers are IMPORTANT.
We quit. All of us. Every single one.
Request denied. Also we need the propellers by Q3.

OPERATION COLD FUSION
Not that kind of cold fusion. The beverage kind.
REPORTED SIDE EFFECTS
DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP
Subject to change. Has changed. Will change again. Definitely.
Concept Phase
Someone had the idea at 3 AM. It was written on a napkin. The napkin is now framed in the lobby.
Feasibility Study
R&D said impossible. Management said do it anyway. R&D said that's not how feasibility works. Management said try.
Prototype v1
It dispensed room temperature water. Close enough. Three interns quit. One asked for a prototype.
Prototype v2
Cold beverages achieved! USB-C added. Three engineers resigned. Their exit interviews just said "propellers."
Bluetooth Integration
Bluetooth 47.3 developed from scratch. Skipped versions 6 through 47.2. FCC has questions. Many questions.
LCD Screen Integration
Palm display works. Snake installed as test application. Productivity dropped 400%. Morale up 800%.
Propeller R&D Begins
We still don't know where they go. Shoulder-mounted prototype detached during testing. Ankle-mounted prototype caused involuntary moonwalking.
Clinical Trials Phase 1
12 brave volunteers. 11.5 still with us. The 0.5 is fine. Mostly. They just prefer not to discuss the propeller incident.
Regulatory Submissions
FDA asking follow-up questions. Many follow-up questions. We've received 847 follow-up questions. About the propellers alone: 312.
Propeller Prototype
0.3 seconds of hover time achieved. Aiming for 0.5. The ceiling tile budget has tripled.
Projected Launch
Optimistic. Very optimistic. R&D says impossible. We say Q3. We've been wrong before. But hope is a strategy.
Backup Launch Window
In case Q3 doesn't work out. (It won't. — R&D Team)
Realistic Launch Window
(Even this is generous. — R&D Team) (No it's not. — Management)
Propellers Work
Timeline: Unknown. Priority: MAXIMUM. R&D has started a betting pool on the year. Current favorite: 2147.
