R&D announces a new technology you'll never believe

Station #12's research team says it has built a battery that charges itself. We saw it. We still don't believe it.

Station #12 asked us not to photograph the battery. This is our best guess at its charge level.

It looks like a normal battery. Gray. A little heavy. It is plugged into nothing. It has been at 100 percent for six weeks.

Station #12 won't say how it works. Its R&D lead would only say the battery "gets energy from somewhere" and then left to take a call.

More power is always the answer. Sometimes the answer is just more power.

The battery goes on the Mars mission next month. Station #12 already has a second one. It is also at 100 percent.
