So many lists, always with the lists. Dr Welsh do this, have it on my desk by 3, Dr Foreman here is todays list of tasks, please have it on my desk by noon. Well, I got a call from Dr Stone over in Sector C, and he thinks Dr Horn has been misappropriating funds from the lab budget to buy pizzas with, and fund some secret project we dont have the access levels to get at. Only Dr Horn and Dr Bottomley seem to have access to those rooms, hmm perhaps Dr Junek too...

All I know is, we had a complaint from the main administrator Dr Montero that Lab D funding had a grossly disproportionate impact on the lab funding, especially considering work currently under way on the biodome in the sub levels of the facility.

We have a plan though to get back at Dr Horn, we're going to steal all his misgotten goods, and hide them throughout the whole facility, he'll spend months looking for them.
