Subject: Lord John Powell IV
Hello! My name is Lord John Powell IV. My father, Lord John Powell III, had access to a folder within the British Royal server chamber at Palisade Blade-01. He is currently ill and has asked me to locate some files. Can I please have access to his folders?
I currently do not have access, but have been promised access after my father’s passing. Feel free to examine my lineage or consult the law office of Harris, Lord, & Barrington in London, England.
I must implore you to be expedient. My father’s condition is deteriorating by the day and we are currently entangled in a tiff with my father’s first cousin as to whether we are considered “blood relatives” or not. They can debate and fight and claim all they want, but the facts are, you can check my lineage and my father’s lineage yourself and see we are indeed related to the royals and therefore have access to certain files in our name that are located within your facility.
Sincerely,
Lord John Powell IV
The Duke of Middlesbrough

Non Responsive Client[]
From: Parker Cunningham
To: Lucie Holusa
Lucie,
I’m in a jam with the Mrs. Rosenthal situation. Turns out that her family has reported her missing as of two months ago.
The outstanding fees are for exactly two months and the files in the vault have not been touched. From what I can tell, her family seems interested in paying for the outstanding balance and the continuation of the digital vault, but they want access. I told them I have to send this issue back to Client Services.
As per Mrs. Rosenthal’s instructions, she made it clear that after her death the entire contents of the vault were to be deleted. She never put in provisions about her going “missing.” Mrs. Rosenthal’s family is now claiming that they need access to the files. (Because they think there might be a clue to her disappearance.)
This is my first missing client, so what is the protocol? The family would pay for the vault, but wouldn’t have access? Legal?

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 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!

New Fragrance Rule[]
From: Isabella Trembliska
To: All Blade-01 Employees
To all employees,
Please note that due to staff sensitivity, the office’s strict NO FRAGRANCE rule is serious. Some of you have spread the rumour that it was all a joke e-mail. ■
THE NO FRAGRANCE RULE IS 100% REAL.
Again, here’s a reasonably complete list of products we’re concerned about:
Perfume, cologne, aftershave, scented hand or body lotions or cosmetics, scented soap, deodorant, shampoo or conditioner, hair gels and sprays, sunscreen, insect repellent, essential oils, scented candles, clothing washed with scented detergent, and fragrant fabric softeners or dryer sheets.
Just this morning I had to send an employee home and fined them for two hours of work. They had been told no fragrances and had been careful not to use cologne or aftershave, but one of them had used hair gel, which was immediately and obviously fragrant.
Be aware of the seriousness of this issue and refrain from wearing any fragrance.
Thank you in advance.

From: Steve Ningbo
To: Palisade Bank Corporation
Subject: New Customer
Hello! I’m interested in purchasing a digital vault. My name is a Kevin Ningbo. Last year, I had the pleasure of sitting next to a salesperson named “Clara” or “Cara” on a flight from NYC to London in June of 2028. I believe she is originally from Pittsburgh? She had blonde hair then and probably still has blue eyes. ;)
Sadly, I lost her contact information when my company's computers were hacked by a group known as JuVi3HaII. I read that Masaaki Oshiro identified that group’s members and destroyed their operations. Being the target of one of these hacker groups once, makes me never want to be a victim of one ever again. I am extremely interested in hearing what The Palisade Bank/Blade can offer.
Can you please send this e-mail along to her, give me her contact information, or credit her on making this sale?
Thanks,

RE: Client log in problem[]
From: Dominik Jaks
To: Kara Lee
Kara,
This is not a problem with our side. Prahm forgot how to spell his own username and tried an old password. I have the log of what he tried to do. I know you cannot say it to their face and do not want to point out when a client is wrong, but this is a case where the customer is wrong. To be more precise, Prahm is a forgetful idiot. Every month this guy forgets either his username, his password, or both. He has even entered his password as his username on several occasions. He manages a company that is worth billions and he cannot remember a username and a password?

Foreign Datastick - P.C.[]
From: Dominik Jaks
To: Parker Cunningham
Mr. Cunningham,
Our software shows that you attempted to use a foreign datastick last week. As you are aware, a foreign datastick can compromise the integrity of the Palisade Blade’s security and introduce malicious software.
The foreign datastick was confiscated and analysed outside of the Blade facility. The scan did not detect any traces of malicious software and the device was destroyed.
Our own findings after a thorough investigation (which included a scan of all of your personal communications over the last three years) we find that this was indeed a “mistake” as you claimed.
As you know, The Palisade Blade has millions of security attacks launched at it hourly. We are vulnerable in ways known and unknown. We had to take strategic measures to protect our operations.
THIS SERVES AS A WRITTEN WARNING. ANY FUTURE USE OF FOREIGN DATASTICKS WILL RESULT IN SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY OR OCCUPATIONAL TERMINATION.
