TO: J. Braden
SUBJECT: Get it together

Ms. Braden,

This letter serves as an informal notification of our company's displeasure toward your management of the Emerald Vale Geothermal Plant, for reasons related to exceeding your staff budget in your latest quarterly report.

Please select five (5) subordinates to be dismissed immediately.

Additionally, please contact our office to schedule your official reprimand at your earliest convenience. Failure to schedule your official reprimand will result in an official reprimand.

The Spacer's Choice Family would like to collectively remind you that working for Spacer's Choice is not a right, but a privilege.

TO: Spacer's Choice - Emerald Vale Development and Oversight
SUBJECT: No need for a reprimand

To the esteemed members of the Emerald Vale Development and Oversight Committee:

I hope this letter finds you wealthy. After due consideration of your last letter, I have identified (and terminated!) no fewer than five subordinates who were unable to provide sufficient justification for their ongoing employment.

I would like to remind the Oversight Committee that while most of Emerald Vale has failed to meet its production and output quotas (particularly our agriculture and fishing/canning department, neither of which are anywhere close to profitable), the Emerald Vale Geothermal Plant remains committed to providing cheap, cost-efficient power to the entire region.

Regards,

Juno Braden, Manager

SUBJECT: RE: No need for a reprimand

Ms. Braden,

We have investigated the claims made against the profitability of the greater Emerald Vale region. Our offices agree with you; agriculture and fishing/canning have experienced a steady decline, while the Emerald Vale Geothermal Plant remains somewhat profitable. Our offices are currently investigating ways to implemtn additional cost-saving measures, which will ultimately lead to a leaner, more streamlined, more efficient Geothermal Power Plant.

Please be informed that the Spacer's Choice Development and Oversight Office has taken a significant insurance policy against the Emerald Vale Geothermal Plant. The office would like to assure you that this insurance policy is a standard procedure. DO NOT attempt to interpret, understand, or otherwise extrapolate meaning from this decision.

As a special courtesy, we have deployed a proprietary team of engineering specialists to the Emerald Vale Geothermal Plant. This team of specialists has been instructed to refit and upgrade the plant's population of automechanicals - free of charge.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Chester Higgins again. That hullhead. Found him fiddling around with one of the mechanicals, so I had to write him up for tampering with company property. Just in case I'm reading this a couple days from now and feeling bad for what I've done, let me remind myself that I've warned him before. He's always been a little crooked in the skull.

He was working on some logic module. I confiscated it. Should be in my lockaway room for the foreseeable future.

#### Access: Personal Log 087

Doesn't sit right with me. Company's been replacing our guards with automechanicals. At this rate, I'm gonna end up a chief of security with no staff. Just a small army of mechanicals knocking about, guns pointed every which way. Company tells us they're safe. Programmed to treat us humans like their own. People are liable to break down, but an automechanical never will.

I don't know. Doesn't sit right with me. But the company's never been wrong before, I suppose.

#### Access: Personal Log 098

Worst has happened. Mechanicals gone crazy. Locked myself down here. Just trying to gather my courage. Gonna make a mad dash for the control room. Might be able to shut things down.

Will delete this entry if I ever return.

Greetings, Security Chief S. TANAKA. This is an AUTOMATED MESSAGE initiated by SPACER'S CHOICE WORKER SAFETY CONTINGENCY PROTOCOLS. A security lockdown has been initiated. This is not a test. Your behavior during this lockdown will be reviewed during your quarterly audit.

Anxiety is a common side-effect of life-threatening situations engendered by security lockdowns. Fight back against anxiety with an ice-cold bottle of Zero Gee Brew. Zero Gee Brew: An Ale That's Good For What Ails You.

### Access Repair Log 0012

Mechanic's Log 0012

Corporate just sent a team of technicians to conduct a complete refit of all our mechanicals. Every sentry and drone. It's not my place to say so, but doesn't this run contrary to the Spacer's Choice mission of being as cheap as possible?

Just in case I'm audited, I would like to formally express how grateful I am to be a part of the Spacer's Choice family. Spacer's Choice is the leading brand in affordable sundry across Halcyon. It's not the best choice, it's the Spacer's Choice.

### Access Repair Log 0020

Mechanic's Log 0020

Just finished a routine maintenance on our mechanical sentries. I found some strange modifications to their logic modules. I haven't had time to run a diagnostic, so I don't know what's been modified.

All I know is that these modifications were introduced in our recent refit. Company went through the trouble of refitting every single mechanical in the plant not long ago. Guessing this was the work of those visiting technicians.

I filed a report, but my supervisor told me not to worry about it. Said the company knew what it was doing. Ordered me to forget about any alleged modifications to the logic modules.

Decided to do a bit of sleuthing by my own self. Got my hands on a logic module. Time to do a little experimentation.
