RE: Address Change
From: Kamila Nadinskova

To: Leona Rosolova

LOL! Rocco has been out of the picture for a month! Once a dog, always a dog. As they say.

Can you believe that he blamed his augs and stressing over what could happen if the Human Restoration Act is passed as the reason why he was cheating on me? All I did was look through the messages on his phone and found that he had two other girls!

UGH! I am DONE with augmented men! No matter how cute I think they are, there is just too much emotional baggage! If you know of any cute single natural guys who are not married, don’t have kids, and are not cheaters, let me know. :)

The change of address has been applied. Thanks and congratulations on moving.

Server Chamber Error
From: Dominik Jaks

To: Leona Rosolova

Leona,

The diagnostics program found only one error in the ghost database. Not a bad record for something that's been running nonstop for 7 years!

The error was for Chamber 209. It says that the defense systems within the chamber were activated even though authorized human maintenance work was underway. According to the log data, the system was triggered with a manual override. I didn't know that was even possible.

Here’s the log:

I checked out the date and the time. Turns out this error occured [sic] around the same time that Saridakis woman died.

Should we report this or am I just looking at old information?

Tarvos Warning
From: Terrance Collins

To: Leona Rosolova

Ms. Rosolova,

It has come to my attention that a TarvosOfficer [sic] has been frequently communicating with you during his shift.

In case you were unaware, as a Tarvos employee, all OF HIS communications are recorded and reviewed. Any Tarvos employee who GROSSLY communicates with a client in a non-essential manner is ﬁned. The officer in question has been warned once and fined already.

His transfer is currently being processed. Let me know if his words or actions are bothering you and I will expedite it personally. His transfer will probably happen by the end of this month.

Morning Fruit Warning
From: Michelle Duroskova

To: All Blade-01 Employees

Greetings to all,

We have noticed for the last couple of weeks, that there isn’t fruits left for breakfast on the 3rd floor around 8H30am when most of the people are not in yet.

Please be respectful of your colleagues and limit yourself to 1 (one) fruit for oranges, apples, banana, etc... and a reasonable quantity of the berries. Furthermore, those fruits are for your breakfast and not to complete your lunch bag.

Thank you for your co-operation!

Smell Sensor
From: Nikola Piggonska

To: Josef Guerki

Josef,

The Scent Sensors are really coming along nicely. I tested v.11 and it is great. I made some adjustments and now it can actually pick up the smell of Neuropozyne.

It is getting close to being field ready. I think with all of the paranoia going around and the bombings etc, this safeguard will be a hit with Masaaki. (Unless they ship all the augs to Rabi'ah)

l informed the head of HR that we will need to roll out a company-wide fragrance free policy for the work place (and that we should not tell people it is because of a new defense system yet).

RE: Server Question
From: Leona Rosolova

To: Josef Guerki

Josef,

Those servers are off-limits. Oshiro uses them to test his AI Core defense program. He’s the only one who has access. The stuff that he works on in there is above my security level. I’d stay away from them if I were you.

Since you are here this evening, I need you to run diagnostics on the water cooling system. I have seen a spike in temperatures in both corridors on the 3rd floor. Start with the West Corridor, then go to the East Corridor. I cleared you with Tarvos to work on both tonight. The work order has been filed with the system.

Subject: Server Question

Leona,

I have a question. What’s with all of the extra servers that are not available? Most of our servers here are getting full, meanwhile, we have plenty that I can see have free space on them. What’s on them? Is the PBC planning to use them?

Delayed Progress
From: Richard Hessler

To: Nikola Piggonska

Nikola,

I am sorry, but I am little behind with the prototype design for the aug detector/neutralizer.

With Oshiro being in London and all, can we push the demo we planned on giving him to two weeks from now?

Non-Lethal Options
From: Josef Guerki

To: Nikola Piggonska

Nikola,

As you requested. I did a little research on non-lethal possibilities.

Here is a list of tear gasses:

• Chloropicrin

• Pepper Spray (OC gas)

• CS gas

• CR gas

• CN gas

• Nonviamide

• bromoacetone

• xylyl bromide

• syn-propanethial-S-oxide

l have to say, I am a little surprised that we were mandated to develop non-lethal security features for the server chambers. I know it was a long time ago, but do you think it has anything to do with Palisade getting a lot of media attention for what happened to Simona?

Files in the office
From: Michelle Duroskova

To: All Blade-01 Employees

Hello Everyone,

After an extensive investigation that included hiring an infestation specialist we have ﬁgured out where the fruit ﬂy problem originated.

The problem is stemming from the recycle bins for the food and beverage cans. For some reason, most employees are not completely emptying and/or rinsing out their cans before placing them in the bins.

We kindly ask that you take the time to empty and rinse all cans and containers before placing them in the bins. This will greatly help us to rid the office of the fruit fly problem.

Thank you for your co-operation and understanding!

Great Job!
From: Nikola Piggonska

To: Richard Hessler

Hey Rich,

Great job on that heat sensor project. Apparently, the design has been generating a lot of positive buzz. I knew we had something golden. Remember, when the boss first rejected our idea?

Yesterday, Oshiro told me that he wants to include it as part of the standard defence systems within three months. :)

Moment of Silence

Toilets Memo
From: Michelle Duroskova

To: All Blade-01 Employees

To all employees,

We would like to bring to your attention several events that took place in the restrooms, especially concerning the toilets.

Last few days, many service calls were placed through our Building Manager related to clogged toilets. Despite the use of multiple special products, they were not able to uncork them properly and a plumber had to come on site to fix the problems.

For ech [sic] visit, it was realized that the toilets had the same problem: They were clogged due to a massive and excessive use of toilet paper.

This problem causes additional and unnecessary costs to the company.

TIP: Simply flush more frequently rather than fill it with a bunch of paper like we are filling a stuffed turkey during the Holidays! Believe me, this will greatly help... or at least minimize any other interventions from the plumber! :)

Thank you for your co-operation!

Kinney and the boxes
From: Leona Rosolova

To: Engineering Deptartment [sic]

It is ofﬁcial. Morton Kinney will be out for at least 2 weeks.

Kinney was the only one who was handling the update of that server chamber and its drives. Now, I am starting to get shit from above about the boxes.

Management thinks I should just bring over an engineer from Blade 02 or 03 to take Kinney’s place. They do not understand that the ramp up for anyone new is going to be at least 4 weeks. Can you believe that they suggested that we could bring in 4 people to cut the ramp up down to just 1 week. I informed them that’s impossible.

I think they got it, but not really.

Heat Sensors
From: Richard Hessler

Hey Ivana,

Thanks for pointing out the flaw in our design.

We upgraded all of the threshhold [sic] for the heat sensors yesterday. It is now impossible for anyone to get by them. Please take extra care when moving about the server area for maintenance issues, the security system will be far less forgiving now. Be sure you have proper authorization to be up there at all times.
