[OPEN LOG]

[Mr. Falkner is by the whiteboard presenting the results of a recent survey on site security. Mrs. Ramirez, Dr. Marly and Dr. Crowler are present at the table. Dr. Crowler scratches her nose.]

Mr. Falkner: As you can see, fire exits are blocked almost at all exits but-

Dr. Crowler: Oh god damn it.

Mrs. Ramirez: Are- are you alright Dr. Crowler?

[Dr. Crowler is rubbing her palm against her nose tip.]

Dr. Crowler: Yeah yeah, it just itches so bad on the inside.

Mrs. Ramirez: But Dr. Crowle- Oh Jesus!

[A snap is heard, which is believed to be the sound of Dr. Crowler's nasal bone. Dr. Crowler continues pressing and rubbing her nose, ignoring her co-workers protests. Her nasal bone structure cracks and is crushed completely. She sighs and wipes off some of the blood that has wetted her mouth and chin.]

Dr. Crowler: Aahh… That's better.
