SRPANET

SrpaNet version 2.19 from 1953

SrpaNet, also known as TERMINAL-SRPA.net, was a system of computer terminals created by SRPA for transmitting secret military documents.

Overview[]

Introduced in the latter half of 1950, SrpaNet was developed by SRPA as an elaborate network of computer terminals across the United States. The network was primarily used for storing and relaying important files and documents relating to SRPA projects. All documents within the system were identified by unique codes, some of which required the user to log in to access; while anyone with the technology could access SrpaNet, only those with registered accounts and a password (such as Capt. Philip Howard and Col. Grant Thompson) could access secret files.

In the final months of 1950, version 1.42 of SrpaNet was used to store information pertaining to the test subjects in Project Abraham; any documents relating to them were released once they had been injected. Agents working for the Alliance for American Autonomy used SrpaNet to locate information about the situation in Europe and SRPA projects including the Liberty Defense Perimeter and the experiments of Dr. Fyodor Malikov, using Capt. Philip Howard and Col. Grant Thompson's passwords. This information was then published in the weekly America First - America Only newsletter.

Even after the Chimera invaded America, SrpaNet remained operational, and had been upgraded to version 2.19.

killed our loved-ones.

TIP[]

Are you a good soldier?

Good soldiers:

 *Know their place. Follow orders promptly and without question.
 *Are a small part of a greater whole. Serve your country. Support your unit.
 *Maintain Order. Keep a clean and orderly work and personal space.
 *Keep in good physical shape. Exercise daily.
 *Stay out of trouble. Causing a ruckus and asking too many questions will threaten our liberties.
 *Are always ready! The readiness for war is what keeps the peace!
 *Can mow down dozens of alien slimebags without batting an eye!

You have a sacred trust to God and Country. Be proud!

COMMANDERHOLIDAYS[]

To Base Personnel:

With the holiday season upon us here in Alaska, we have more than our
fill of snow and cold. It’s a difficult time to be away from friends and
family. For those of you who have family abroad, perhaps grandparents or
cousins in Europe, the complete embargo of all travel and news in and out
of the United States makes it even more difficult.

I want to assure you all that the work we are doing here is more important
than you can know. The service you are rendering is essential to the
peace and security of the people you love. Our enemy, the European
influenza, is no less dangerous for being so intangible.

We will do our best in during these holidays to be a kind of family to
each other. Patience is the hardest of virtues. Remember, in the words
of the poet John Milton, “They also serve who only stand and wait.”

Wishing you the best in these coming weeks.

L. Dicklesohn, Brigadier General, Alaska

Trivia[]

  • SRPANET may be the SRPA version of the internet since the organization's original use may be just the same. Also, SRPANET is presumably a nod to ARPANET, the real-life network precursor to the internet.
