Re: Guard Duty
From: Oleg

To: Vyachek

Vyachek,

Look, what you think doesn't matter. You're not paid to provide me advice. I get my orders from powerful people whom you will never meet (if you're lucky). These people want every single fucking floor of this building under constant fucking surveillance. Are we clear? I hope we are. If we're not, you won't even be able to get a job ticketing cars on the boardwalk.

Cut the shit, ok?

I'm confused about the new "enhanced" security detail. In the past two weeks, I've responded to the following "emergencies:"

- feral cats fucking; making a lot of noise

- homeless junkie infiltrating third floor; took a shit on the floor

- teenagers tagging drywall; possible sexual intercourse

Serious stuff. Honestly, Oleg, I think that we could scale back on the number of guys and have each detail cover multiple floors. I'm not telling you how to do your job, I'm just filling you in on what I see.

Re: Building Permits
From: Osip

To: Zavid

Zavid,

I know, I know, we are way behind schedule on construction. The government has us wrapped up in red tape a mile long, getting even a single permit is taking forever. Sometimes I wonder if there are people out there preventing this building from being finished.

Mr. Kontarsky,

My sincerest apologies. I've told the men about this repeatedly, apparently to no effect. Let me reassure you that, moving forward, there will be no more problems with the power supply.

Svet,

If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, don't send me this garbage here at work. The guys here run a tight ship. Your personal messages are not helping and might even be hurting, do you understand? We will discuss this when I get home.

That Sentry
From: Security Guard

To: Security Coordinator

I know Kontarsky wanted to install that Sentry robot thing, but it scares me to death. I'm sitting there, quietly watching the match when it turns to look at me and just sits there staring at me for an hour. Creeps me out, man. I've stashed an EMP grenade by the door just in case it decides it wants to rise up against humanity. That'll teach it who's boss.

Re: heightened risks
From: Sadko, Security

To: Vasilli

Vasilli,

Trust me when I say this: Mikhail's being paranoid, nobody is after him. The security measures are just to keep his mind at ease.

That being said, do keep a close watch on him. He may be suicidal or do something stupid. If he locks himself away for too long, you can use security code 0451 to bypass his lock and get him out. It's for his own good.

Privacy
From: J Duarte

To: Ben Saxon

Ben,

Sorry to hear about your recent problems. We send our prayers and hope you are recovering.

You are welcome in out home for as long as you need it. Rest assured that we won't tell anyone that you are there. The neighbors have always valued and maintained our privacy and you can expect to be safe here. That being said, I wouldn't stray too far from home. There's plenty to eat, the computer network is secure, and you shouldn't have any problems with anything. If you do, please let me know.

It's been really hard on us since Sam died. And I know it's been tough for you, as well. That guilt is not yours to carry around. Guys in your position understand the risks involved, and we know you did everything you could to keep our son safe.

Godspeed,

J. Duarte

Newsletter
From: Glass Curtain

To: Kel

You are different because you seek the truth.

Not the lies and misdirection that dribble from the mouths of our politicians, celebrities and news corporations. They want to dominate your mind with sex, violence and greed. Anything to keep you passive and docile.

Anything to get you to STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!

They are the Generals and Majors of Info-War. And when diversion doesn't work, the fear tactics begin. Intimidation, coercion, conspiracy.

Case in point: one of our loyal contributors in Australia. Casey Bradshaw was an outspoken investigative journalist who uncovered proof of what the Aum Shinrikyo cultists were doing in the Australian desert - building and testing a nuclear weapon!

Some people didn't like the implication that the Australian government had been so incompetent, even complicit, with nuclear proliferation as far back as the.

So it was with deep sadness (but not surprise) that I learned of Casey's tragic death this week. The official story is that she is just another civilian casualty in the Australian Civil War, but that's a little too convenient for those who've been trying to snuff her out for years.

Please support us. Keep Glass Curtain alive!

Re: Cut Backs
From: Felix Vega

To: Manny L

Manny,

We wanted to be the first to tell you, officially, about the cutbacks that were decided upon last Thursday. I know there's been a lot of rumors flying around. We've had to make some tough decisions.

The transit authority can no longer pay the station workers. This goes into effect for tomorrow's payroll. As you can imagine, there are going to be a lot of people upset over this. We'll be on-site to talk to you tomorrow, but in the meantime, please lock the station office with passcode 0490. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Felix Vega

Re: Hotel Etana
From: Byron

To: Lizzie

Lizzie,

What a pleasant surprise! Of course, I would love to see you! I'm in town for 4 days, staying at the Hotel Etana. Have you ever been there? It's remarkable! It rivals some of the better hotels in NYC or Paris.

If I finish up business early, maybe we can get away for a day? There's a helipad on the roof and I have access to the corporate helicopter. I'll call you tomorrow night to confirm? Can't wait to see you!

Sorry to hear about that shit last week, bro. If I been there, believe me, shit would've got fixed, for sure. I do want you to know I got your back. I stashed a concussion grenade and some ammo under the mag-lev track on the Boardwalk. It's there if you need it, okay? Use passcode 4044 to get it, and I'll see you next Wednesday?

Pinto,

I know you've been chomping at the bit, so I got an easy score for you. One of my bitches told me the manager of Nightshades keeps a stash of money in his safe. She gave me the code to the rear gate using passcode 5643. If you get it, I'll split it with you, 80/20 (me 80, you 20). Show me what you got, pana.

re: hard times

To: Joey

Joey,

I'm sorry times are bad for you now. You know the many troubles I experienced when I was young and stupid like you. I should have work for you next month. But no promises.

Meantime, if you have nowhere else to stay, there is a storage garage on Rojo Street and you can open it by entering 6009. It's not the Etana, but you don't have to worry about getting rolled or fucked with by anyone.

Maybe you should sell your pocket secretary. I'm sure it's worth something?

Upgrades
From: Johnny B

To: Packer

Packer,

I knew you'd like your upgrades. That Lebanese prick might have more clients than me, but I provide a safe and cost-effective alternative to him. I have another upgrade stashed near the XNG building (passcode to the gate is 6114). Try it out. If you like it, you can make your payment to the same account.

Praxis Software
From: Camilla Cardosa

To: Dr. Medina

Gregory,

I didn't think this week could get any worse, but here goes:

In addition to the Neuropozyne shortage, the clinic is running dangerously low on Praxis Kits. Can you please lock the remaining kits in the safe using passcode 2020? I don't want them being used without my direct consent. Hopefully, this is short term, but we've got to prepare ourselves now.

Regards,

Camilla

Lock it down!
From: Diego

To: Adeimo

I know I got with most of you face to face this week, but I want to make sure you all are feeling me--- We got to be on our game this week! If this goes down as planned, we all make A LOT OF MONEY. I ain't just talking about a few of us, I'm talking the organization, top to bottom. Up your game -- we GET PAID.

This week, the rest of the Riezene goes out. Keep your eyes open and let me know if you see anything - ANYTHING - that don't look right. If a dog is taking a shit on a new corner, I wanna know it.

A lot of you guys were sweating the Belltower truck parked outside the lab. Well don't. It'll be unloaded in a couple days and outta there.

Thanks for filling me in about the package. You mean the safe in the garage, right? And fuck Cobra, he's got a lot on his plate and I'm sure he won't be looking for something so small. Don't tell no one the passcodes, especially in texts, ok? Talk to you soon.

Personal Log
From: Alvarez

To: Alvarez

Diego has really been sending me the bottom of the barrel lately. Most of these dogs have no identification to speak of and probably don't even know their proper names. I believe that I've already augmented all of his personal security detail, although the short life expectancies should provide steady business in the long term.

Many follow up appointments can be quite dangerous, as the patients are trying to upgrade their augs rapidly without realizing their power. These visits can be quite dangerous, as the gang members can be quite agitated, especially if they're forced to wait for any given amount of time.

Out Neuropozyne supplies have diminished and I've been giving them Riezene, which I can get in large quantities from Diego. Camilla warned me about Riezene, which she thinks could make patients sick. So far, I haven't seen any side effects and the alternative is not teneable.

Re: Broken Lock
From: Hotel Etana Janitorial Staff

To: Room 1303 Resident

Dear Resident,

We're not entirely sure how you keep getting the door lock wet enough to destroy it, but we have yet again installed a new lock. The code is 1702. Please stop whatever it is that you are doing in your room; while we enjoy taking bets as to what the mystery liquid is, these electronic locks are expensive and difficult to replace.

Thank You,

Hotel Etana Janitorial Staff

Lock short circuit
From: Hotel Etana Management

To: Penthouse Residents

Hello Resident,

We are sorry for the inconvenience but we've detected a short circuit in the lock to your apartment home. In order to provide you with the best possible service, we have taken the liberty of re-programming the lock to open using the key code 5872. Feel free to come down to the lobby and change the code at your earliest convenience for maximum security.

Sincerely,

Building Inspection
From: P. Langano, Building Inspector

To: Rodrigo Vasquez, Etana Maintenance

Rodrigo,

We completed the inspection of the upper floors, bathrooms, and rooftop and have the following to report:

1. Bathrooms - There's a leak in the hotel lobby bathroom sink. Please take care of this right away. You don't want guests falling down in there and hurting themselves.

2. Rooftop - There's exposed wiring on the rooftop generators. This needs to get addressed right away. The power control panel is located behind the security fence (be careful when turning it on and off. You don't want to lean up against the fence thinking the power's shut off).

We'll have the final inspection report to you by tomorrow, but I wanted to highlight those two issues. If they're taken care of today, I should be able to have my guys verify the fixes and I can leave them off the report.

Regards,

P. Langano

Tidy Up!
From: Guest Relations

To: Etana Maintenance

Maintenance Staff,

Please keep in mind that many of our most prominent guests arrive to our hotel via the rooftop helipad. Maintaining the cleanliness of this area is just as important as any other area of the Hotel Etana, including the lobby. There have been a number of guests who have reported debris and cleaning materials left out around the rooftop. Any excess materials on the rooftop should be stored in the maintenance area on the rooftop. The passcode is 9697.

Please make sure you pay extra attention to this area so we make the best impression possible to arriving guests.

Sincerely,

Guest Relations

Hi honey,

Daddy will drop you off here after work. You can get to my office through the door behind the front desk in the lobby. Use code 9284. Simona will let you by; just be sure to thank her! If you get lost, ask a nice security man to take you to my office.

Love you and I'll see you tonight.
