Jasper,

I've been taking your messages at my terminal like you asked. This one's from Management, though. Please take a look at this. I could get in trouble for deleting it.

FROM: Goodfellow, L.
TO: Low, J.
SUBJECT: Corrective Measures

Dr. Low,

I speak for everyone at the OCI when I express my disappointment in your work ethic. The quality of Compound X harvested and enriched at your laboratory falls well below Spacer's Choice standards. It is my professional opinion that the quality of one's work reflects the quality of one's spirit. Lazy workers deliver lazy work.

Round up your researchers. Fire one in ten. I expect you and your remaining researchers to deliver the next batch of chemicals to HIA under an accelerated timetable.

These measures may seem punitive, even harsh. They are. I am instilling discipline in your team. One day, I'd like to imagine you'll thank me.

Respectfully,

Lawrence Goodfellow, Manager - Office of Creative Incubation

"Work fortifies the spirit."

SUBJECT: Please Respond

Jasper,

I know you told me not to bother you when you're working, but I'm running out of options. I understand you're busy, so I've boiled down my list of concerns into simple yes/no questions. Just respond with Y or N.

1. Did you read Goodfellow's letter?
2. Am I on the chopping block?
3. Has security talked to you about some type of corporate spy in our ranks?
3a. Is there a spy?
4. Did you know Padilla's heart gave out after a 72-hour shift?
4a. Are you attending the wake?

I've got staff coming to the receptionist desk looking for answers. What am I supposed to tell them? It's not the best choice - it's the only choice we've got?

Are you going to respond?

#### TO: Tanaka, S., SUBJECT: Lost Key?

TO: Tanaka, S.
SUBJECT: Lost Key?

Chief,

I found a key in a locker by the lavatories. The key belongs to Dr. Low. Please retrieve the key and return it to him. I'd do it myself, but Dr. Low can be pretty paranoid. If I show up at his door with a key in hand, he'll assume I stole it in order to fabricate a reason to check up on him.
