Camouflage Notebook
This is an extremely literal description: the Camouflage Notebook (which otherwise resembles a standard 100 sheet, bound composition book) isn’t called that because it has odd, military-themed patterns on it. It’s called that because if you leave it out, walk away for a few minutes, and then come back it will have somehow taken on the characteristics of its surroundings. Coloration, patterns, even movement; if it’s visual, the Camouflage Notebook will duplicate it. The effect lasts for as long as the Notebook itself isn’t moved.
And the effect is absolutely not magical, theurgical, psionic, supernatural, metaphysical, and/or cosmically horrific at all. This is all straight-up natural science! Just not science as we yet understand it. Something about the original cover is causing the light to actually bend around the book’s surface and show what is underneath it. It’s stealth, at a level that modern engineering couldn’t hope to duplicate for another twenty years, and even then it would take a power source to replicate the effect. The Camouflage Notebook apparently runs on cosmic microwave background radiation, which is as close to ‘on nothing’ as to make no real practical difference. All in all, the first people to duplicate the effect will have access to not only an insanely valuable military-industrial process; they’ll have a leg up for understanding the next paradigm shift of physical theory.
So, yes, that’s why there’s a vicious shadow war going on right now. Time to get in there and get that Notebook! And, yes, it will be acceptable to team up with other groups in order to share the prize and the data. As long as they’re the right sorts, of course. Propaganda aside, the Great Game is not always necessarily zero-sum.
