The level of incompetence with which this situation has been handled is frankly unacceptable. Honestly, I expected better of you. This is the sort of inconvenience with which I should not need personally interfere myself—I have more important business to attend to, after all.

I won't deign to ask how this was allowed to come to happen. It would waste both my time and yours to search out an explanation for this amateurish behavior. All I will ask is that you save me the trouble of holding your hand and guiding you to where the cleaning supplies are kept before you mop up the mess you've shit onto my floor. If you cannot take care of it yourself, do me a favor and ask someone whose responsibilities actually include solving your problems and who hasn't already had three migraines from the sound of your voice alone.

Presumably you're competent enough to figure out who that might be on your own, but in case you aren't, I've copied Absolute on this message.

Don't let me hear from you again until you've fixed the problem.

This week, on Tango Sector: The crew of Pelagian has tracked down their thief, and now they just have to find a way to steal the animum back themselves… and then decide what they're going to do with it. Claus dons a disguise. Liam does the heavy lifting. Flux hangs back. Cash makes a tough call. Melas has some regrets.
