The following items were downloaded from the
TUSLOG Detachment 4 Hippodrome computer, which was simply
known as GIGI when I was there in 1975-76. As far as I
know, unless an author is specified, all these items were
anonymous. )

Thank God. By successfully reading this, you have
released our souls from the black and eternal memory
banks of GIGI. Your soul is now doomed for eternity,
captive victim of GIGI's madness, until some future mech
reads this tape.
Goodbye, yeni.

P.S. – Say hi to Hag, the
recorder mech, whose soul is still trapped somewhere in
the interface.
( That was the first message that
greeted us when, in 1976, we were first able to access
GIGI. Several months before, all operations at the base
had ceased due to a dispute between the Turkish and
American governments over whether Turkey, a NATO ally,
could use American made and supplied to weapons to invade
Cyprus and fight the Greeks, another NATO ally. All that
was left at the base was a skeleton maintenance crew,
enough to staff the communications center, supply, motor
pool, finance, personnel – the basic support
services. We had heard there was quite a bit of material
stored in GIGI, but everyone who knew how to access it
was gone, so we had to put our heads together and spend
quite a bit of time digging it out. This is a collection
of that material, along with some new stuff we added
during our tour. By now, perhaps, some other poor,
unsuspecting soul has once again stumbled across GIGI's
secret files. I hope they enjoyed them as much as we did.
