{Unified Universe Project} [Video]
[The PCD comes on, focused on a rather orderly desk. The 'inbox' on the desk is full and Donna is standing next to it. Chairman Springsteen leans into the shot, reaching to grab and open one of the files.]
No, they all say the same thing. Reasonless panic. [He shrugs and moves it to the 'outbox.']
It's not their fault that you have them looking for anything that changes. Or that they're stupid mice, the most of them. How big is the change? [Donna's smirking and leaning over the desk, toward him. It can be noted that her blouse is low-cut, and her heels are perhaps a bit higher than are professional.]
Less than .002%. Nothing to panic over. Though the chemists are bothered. Some substance they were messing with turned into cola. [Springsteen is smirking as he rests his elbows on the desk.]
Well. This world is... [Donna shrugs.] ...predictable in its unpredictability. If they're so bothered, send some of them out. Bao wants out of her cage.
[The Chairman shakes his head.] No. I have her busy with other things.
[Donna straightens, clearly pissed off. Her lips tighten.] Another side project that you didn't tell me about?
[He snorts.] Hardly. It got approved by all of us months ago. It's just taken time to get her to head down that road. She's hardly as biddable as Morimoto was. He was useful, you know.
To a point. [She no longer looks quite as angry.] Send some of the mice out to look around, then. Ones that the snakes won't bite.
Snakes don't bite mice. They swallow them whole. [Another file gets opened; he's not paying so much attention to Donna anymore.] But some of ours should be safe. Send Andrew in on your way out. We'll pick a few.
[Slowly, very slowly, Donna adjusts her blouse. Her voice is frosty.] On my way out. There were several other things on the agenda, as you--
[The PCD times out.]

You're small time. Go kill Outsiders and then I can give you a 'the'.
no subject
Anyway, any change would be a good change around here. And if it makes cola, I don't see what the problem is.
no subject
Did you miss what I said? Nothing to panic over.
no subject
Yeah. That's what you said. Now am I gonna have to keep asking questions and beating around the bush, or can you save us both the effort and explain everything I haven't gotten to yet?
no subject
What is there to explain? There's a small frequency variance. It's shown up a few times in the last few days. It's nothing.
no subject
Nothing about that annoying Bao lady or whoever that Moriyama guy was, huh? Oh well. Figures.
