---

(PHONE) Norie Okana texts: I have good news. and I have bad news. Which do you want first.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: Good news I guess, but don't wait too long on either. This sorta stuff always makes me tense

(PHONE) Norie Okana texts: WELL the good news is that the Fire suppression systems work wonderfully. The bad news is Director Beryl visited. Looking for you.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: I'm gonna guess those two things are highly related. what the hell did she want with me. doesn't she have my brother to yell at

(PHONE) Norie Okana texts: She came here looking for information you have on Hematite. I couldn't find any. She called Firefly names. Things got heated. She blew up one of the research station computers and .. some other device, the one Firefly is always poking.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: ...why the heck does she want my info on hematite. weird old lady. anyways. the FDM isn't a big deal. it basically exists to draw attention. But the research machine is worrying. why was she so mad though. and why didn't she send the other guys if she wanted to find him. why come to me. that's stupid.

(PHONE) Norie Okana texts: Lord if I know, but Kalonite had to come in and handle it at the end, because things we're on literal fire and my research on the plant I was studying from the Dusk Zone got destroyed and I have to restart from scratch. Beryl wants to speak with you about something related to Hematite or something. Maybe she's upset she didn't have a date for Christmas like Firefly said...

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: Also firefly said that, lol. wow. Anyways, which computer was it. you might not have to restart from scratch. I do have the systems make backups. data is probably still there

(PHONE) Norie Okana texts: One of the research workstations. Data probably still is on the mainframe. hopefully. At least she didn't let the corn out.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: You know if I didn't know you were studying Dusk Zone flora recently I would be more confused by that than I was for a moment. I still think it's weird that she came to see me. Did she say anything that would have been helpful? Trying to decide if I should be getting ready to involve HR when I get back. I think the only thing Beryl fears besides Father O is Fuyuko.

(PHONE) Norie Okana texts: Oh, I would involve HR. She blew up two of our machines and demanded information not even the proper way! I was trying not to escalate, because Firefly was doing a good job of that all her own, but I had half a mind to tell her to go through the proper channels. Instead she called Firefly a nepotism baby.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: Firefly works hard to do as good as she can. That's just cruel. And yeah, I don't think Firefly is used to... corporate manouvering. You shoulda been there when there was a meeting and she just walked over and got food without waiting for zoisite hahaha. Anyways. Yeah if that's one of the big research computers I should at least twist arms so we can get some resources back. it's not just expensive, some of those components can't be made on Earth!

(PHONE) Norie Okana texts: I'm not sure, but we'll make sure HR hashes it out. I'm kind of angry and my corn is angry. and I really should bring this back to the Dusk Zone now anyways and let it back before it gets angrier in it's box.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: Yeah I don't wanna have to explain corn-related injuries to Fuyuko while I'm complaining about Beryl.
