Attachements [Stop_trying_so_hard.pdf] [Its_not_fun_when_everyone_is_a_retard.docx]

Hello Crew,

We have some new corporate directives regarding desperately trying to emulate something funny. We feel this is seriously getting in the way we work. Please read and comply with the new directives. If you need any help please let me or any of our off-orbit HR support staff (globalHR@globalservices.lithicorp.gcn) know.

Kind Regards,

Linda.

Topic: Threat

I regret to bring it to your attention, but I have recently received a seemingly anonymous threat delivered to my quarters. Not only is my physical well-being threatened, but my religious freedoms guaranteed by the station administration is being attacked; my faith is not a cult!

Attached below is the note. It references Mister Sathruban and the wording resembles someone not native to the English language, so perhaps he would be a prime suspect? Admittedly, I did recently report him to HR - maybe revenge? Please help and let me know if I should drop by your offices.

Alexander was still waiting for his tools. He hoped he would receive them soon. Being seen doing nothing was not going to help in his next performance evaluation meeting.
He decided to go to the mining site. If anyone asks he'd be doing prospecting and lithium veins analysis. He met Fredlock there.
"At least one of us has the tools for the job, right? "

Orders: waiting for tools and pretending to do" prospecting"
 
Suhan heads down to Jekediah's office in the chapel and talks through the door, not checking to see if Jekediah is actually there.

"HEY, CHAPLAIN. FUNNY THING, WANNA HEAR? I TRACED THE VIRUS BACK TO HERE, THE CHAPEL. THE ONLY COMPUTER IN HERE IS YOURS. INTERESTING, NO? YOU WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT, WOULD YOU? HMM?"
 
Kreen yells back through the door, afraid.

"I'm not sick! The Universal Spirit shields his disciples from malady! And what does my computer have to do with illness!?"
 
Barraco Barner addresses the striking miners.

"Alright, uhh, let's all calm down okay? *pause* We can't keep on striking. *Pause* I want to as much, uhh, as you do. But, we have to, uh cooperate. We have to work with the officers. *pause* But if they don't let us impartially investigate what happened to our dear friend, then uhh, I will strike with you. So, let's give the officers two hours to decide if they're going to allow us to do our independent investigation. *pause* If not, then we're striking."
 
Engineer Meh-Metik dedicates his time to purging the computer network of viruses and heresy.
 
Suhan shouts back to Kreen

"NOT A VIRUS LIKE A SICKNESS, DUM. A COMPUTER VIRUS, AN INFECTION ON THE SHIP COMPUTER SYSTEM. IT STARTED ON YOUR COMPUTER. ANYTHING I SHOULD KNOW? SHARED ACCESS, WEIRD PORN, ANYTHING AT ALL. DON'T SOUND SO SCARED, CHAPLAIN. I'M JUST DOING MY JOB, BUDDY."
 
Kreen replies back in a thinly hushed semi-shout.

"I do NOT have - that - on my computer! I only use this device for spreading the word through AutoChapel! Were you the one who left that threat in my quarters? You need mental screening!"
 
"WHAT NOTE? ARE YOU FEELING ALRIGHT, WHY ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF THESE THINGS? WHY ARE YOU SO DEFENSIVE, CHAPLAIN? ALMOST SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU HAVE A THING TO HIDE? ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT THE INFECTION IN OUR MAINFRAME STARTED ON YOUR COMPUTER. YOU CAN BE A GOOD BUDDY TO US ALL AND BE COOPERATIVE SO WE CAN GET THE LITHIUM FLOWING. LIKE I SAID, ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOUR COMPUTER, CAN I CHECK? I MEAN NO HARM, CHAPLAIN. DO YOU?"
 
Kreen, pushed to his milquetoast limits for haranguing, triggers a notification to Security through this office e-system. Attaching a note to it, he claims he is very threatened and slandered!
 
Li walks down to Kreen's office, having received his email from several hours before. He was annoyed that people no longer spoke face-to-face.

Or so it seemed.

"Alright, now, Suhan," he said as he approached the strange foreign man, "you go back to your quarters, now." He placed his hand on the pistol at his side.
 
Suhan jumps upon seeing Li, he's been caught by surprise.

"HEY THERE, LI. WHY ARE YOU HERE? LISTEN..."

he speaks at the most quiet level probably anybody's ever heard him at so far-- A regular person's speaking voice.

"I had done some digging on the origin on the nasty mainframe bug, yeah? Got this: It started in the chapel. Only computer here is that Chaplain-cult leader's. He's acting awfully jumpy for me just coming down to ask him. The system's security was compromised in his place, after all. He's talking about some letter, I don't know what his deal is. He's out to get me, I think. Not sure why. He reported me to HR for something I never said and now he's... Called you down here? To deal with me. I'll head back to my room after I see what's on that computer of his. Good?"
 
Li stares at Suhan for several seconds in silence.

"Right. You get along, now."

Suhan shouts after Kreen

"OK, YEAH, I'VE BEEN STALKING YOU. OK, YEAH, I TRIED TO GET ON YOUR COMPUTER. BUT THERE'S THIS GUY, THE ONLY ENGINEER FREAKIER THAN ME, I SAW HIM FUCKING WITH THE CHAPEL CONTROLS A LITTLE BIT BACK, I HEARD HIM SAY SOMETHING ABOUT HERESY. ALSO, YOU DIDN'T HAPPEN TO SPILL WATER ON THE MAINFRAME, DID YOU?"
