We need to move ALL the eggs to a secure location. We can't risk them falling into the hands of our former friend and colleague, not until we have cracked the solution to taming and get the credit we deserve. Please circulate this memo widely but do NOT circulate the location of the eggs more than necessary.

Hey 418,

I followed your lead and picked up Wendell Tully’s file from the archives.

I’ve gone through the agricultural experiment notes from his backyard research. I listened to all his tapes, deciphered his chicken scratch, and I need a break. The guy is so arrogant! I want to reach through the cassette and box his ears. But yes, his hydroponic aquaculture microponic system could be very... fruitful research for us to expand on. We may be able to leverage it for our botanical enhancement research. I already have a few ideas we could try.

But something's been bothering me. Agricultural applications for miniaturization tech have been on our radar since day one and yet, we aren’t making any money out of it. Sounds like Tully hit the same roadblock. And if he couldn’t figure it out... Why do we think we can? He invented the SPAC.R for crying out loud.

I sometimes wonder if he intended to destroy Ominent with his inventions by making us waste all our time and money trying to monetize them, when every attempt has failed, continues to fail, is failing.

Hi! This is 956, the new intern! I really don’t want to get in trouble, but I have a few questions.

If I get this right, we are getting close to figuring out the exact amount of sour we can inject into an insect without exploding it. Cool! But aren’t we creating a powerful new adversary for ourselves if we lose control of them (which we usually do)? So, I’m a little unclear why we’re doing this...?

It feels a little too late to ask, but it’s not hard to see how this could become a huge problem. Might just be me, though! What’s the use case for making insects even more powerful? They’re already so dangerous to us at this scale (and gross).

Oh well. Super Sour Insects were requested so Super Sour Insects shall exist! I just had to ask.

Local punk band The Sad Stab's latest album, sadly stabbed into the ground during the explosion-related scramble. How do you even clean these things? Toothpaste?

Hello… I'm sorry, I’m just reading the sheet here. Now, I'm not going to address this message to a string of numbers. I'm gonna call you... Pumpkin! Pumpkin, I adore your research into hydroponics, and microponics, and H.A.M.S. I even know what most of those things are. But it will have to go on the back burner. I need your team to focus all your shrunken grey matter on using genetic research to juice up some of the critters wreaking havoc on our installations. Heck, at this scale, you can probably stitch DNA by hand! Pumpkin seeds are a good snack, but let’s use this genetic research for something with a little more punch. Talk to Candyman from the super flavor project see if you can work together. That would be great. And mandatory. Love what you’re doing, keep it up! Sloane.

Hey Pumpkin,

I heard good things about the new batch of test subjects! The specimen you sent us is impressive.

I was hoping to use if for additional testing, but it got really agitated from the furnace heat. Any tips on controlling it? If you do, forward them to our new intern. I’ll be on vacation for a few weeks. I’m leaving right after this batch is melted. I was hoping to catch the ceremony in the park on my way out.

I’ll bring you something from Florida. How would you like to tinker with oranges next?

Best of luck with the presentation!

For the few of you working on America’s birthday, be triple careful around those little clear paths out there.

I know it’s tempting to follow a clear road in the dirt, but those tracks were made by wheels. Ice cream cart wheels to be precise. Complete with kids stomping around and drips of ice cold cream falling on your heads.

The only thing more terrifying than getting frozen in ice cream out there is the scorpions. And we’ve got enough of those to last a lifetime.

Stay safe out there. God bless, and happy birthday America, you beautiful bastard.
