S.P.O.T.

HERE'S SOMETHING I WROTE, GIVE ME FEEDBACK. TELL ME WHATS GOOD AND WHAT IS CRAP. STILL WORKING ON ACRONYMS



During the late 1980s the US was still involved in a Cold War with the Soviet Union. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the United States Department of Defense (DOD) signed of on Plan O.U.T., in conjunction with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Plan O.U.T.'s purpose was to rage chemical warfare on the USSR by poisoning the water supplies of Soviet cities. The CIA would finalize the oepration when the chemical warfare agent (CWA), code named S.P.O.T. was to be transported in planes by the CIA and dropped on its designated targets, in what would have been known as Operation D.A.M.N. DARPA hired independent laboratories to develop the CWA. This CWA was meant to as an incapacitating agent, which could be developed so that it could not be removed from the water by any water purification methods known to the Soviets. But by the summer of 1990, operation O.U.T. was seen as unnecessary and dissolved. The CIA and DOD left the clean up of the chemicals created to the independent laboratories. One of these, LabTek Laboratories Inc., knowingly kept the S.P.O.T. prototype.
