[Two feet are sticking out underneath a desk. A moment passes, and Matthew walks into the scene.]

Greg.

[There's no response.]

Dumbass.

[There's still no answer, so Matthew kicks the feet. There's a thunking noise and Greg comes out from under the desk, looking annoyed.]

I was busy!

[Matthew shrugs.] I just found half the blankets.

[Greg is glaring at his cousin.] I hit my... what?

In the second warehouse. Twenty five of the blankets are sitting in the back.

[Greg blinks.] Why?

[Matthew shakes his head.] A better question might be who.

Who?

Why are you asking me?

You said... Look. [Greg gets up from the floor, sitting on a chair.] Who all knew we were doing that?

[Matthew holds up three fingers and counts them off.] You, me, botanist. And botanist couldn't carry that many. Besides, she's working on making new ones that change color.

No, she cou-- [Greg looks confused.] Change color?

[Matthew shrugs.] Someone told her they weren't special enough, so now she's got to make them do useless shit. It's a science thing, you wouldn't--

--Understand, right. [Greg sighs.] I didn't take them back. Did you?

[Matthew shakes his head.] No. It was hard enough to get them out there.

Then...

[Matthew fixes him with a steady look.] Then you didn't code it right, and someone else saw what we said that wasn't supposed to. I think you need to look at your security on that thing, [he gestures at the recording PCD], and... oh hell. It's on. It's on.

[Greg bolts across the room and shuts off the video feed.]

Oh well, as long as it works.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

And we don't get killed and wind up drooling idiots.

[alle-halle.livejournal.com]

Killed for such thing? Geez, you guys have it hard.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

He's being a melodramatic idiot.

[alle-halle.livejournal.com]

That sounds too much like communism to be true.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Which, the dying or the melodrama?

[alle-halle.livejournal.com]

Both.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he'd fit in pretty well in old Russia, then.

[alle-halle.livejournal.com]

Indeed. So, what's the big deal with it?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

We don't want to breach our contracts by saying too much, but playing secretive and hiding all the information really isn't working for anyone.

[alle-halle.livejournal.com]

It never works well, especially here. People are not amused with secrets.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but have you ever told that to a boss? It doesn't sink in.

[alle-halle.livejournal.com]

That's the usual disease with all of them.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

One day maybe we'll get bosses that aren't lousy with people.
