Gertrude,

It felt so good last night, your warm salty fins slapping against my- oh... oh god, they are coming! Hel- *a trail of bloody fingernail gouges leads away from the abandoned scrap of paper*

Wallace,

I happened to come into the garden to check on my roses, you know the new breed you said I could plant in the back corner? The lights were out - don't worry, I turned them back on for you. The food should be safe. The roses are coming along beautifully. I'll come back to see you tomorrow!

Dear Mrs. Lilly,

We are still awaiting a payment for your last order of flower seeds. Please transfer the amount of $10 as soon as possible, or otherwise we will not be able to supply you with products again in the future.

Jonathan Lane, Co-Owner of the Five Filthy Flowers.


How's that?

Sam,

I am quite agitated! I told you to direct payment to Mr. Lane of Five Filthy Flowers when you ordered the seeds last time. Please send it to him as soon as possible.

Memo for Lily,

I actually went to the shop and handed the money to Mr. Lane myself, after what happened last time. I swear the bugger is losing his mind. The receipt is in Wallace's filing cabinet.

Also, I left late last night, and noticed a man in a trench coat sneaking around out front. Tried to follow him, but he disappeared. Thought you should know.

Dear Nora,

I am hoping for your return to the shop soon. How's life over at the botanical dome? I heard some rumours about strange crystals, are you alright?

Love, your Jonathan

Wallace,

Sam tells me he left a receipt in your filing cabinet. I looked and all I saw were some strange crystals covering everything. What are those? They were...glowing strangely.

Anyway, could you find that receipt for me? It is for Mr. Lane, he claims we didn't pay him. watch out for that guy, he seems to be losing his mind.

Lilly

You're threats are unfounded as we will not be handing over "Subject X" to you at this time. We regret to inform that if you wish to obtain this "item" you will have to take it by force.

Secretary of Space Defense

~~~~~~

Wallace,

We have Intel that you did not follow direct orders upon the way to quarantine "Subject X" further more, you have been terminated from your post. A replacement who is willing to follow orders of their government will be there in two days.

Friends of the Botanical Dome

Dear FBD Members,

I write this note in haste, as there is little time to act.

I'm sure you have all heard the rumors of strange crystals. I have found them to be highly intelligent, in that they seem to respond to speech.

Whatever the crystals might be, they are little understood. I was ordered to destroy them by the Secretary of Space Defense. I refused, and this morning I received notice of termination from my post as Director of the Botanical Dome.

We are making preparations for a final harvest. If you have anything you would like to harvest from the personal plots, you must do so within the day.

This will likely be my last communication as Director.

Take Care, and good luck, Friends,
Wallace

Hi Lilly,

I'm so sorry about recent events. If you cut your roses now, you will be able to make some beautiful bouquets. Access to the gardens might be restricted when the new director arrives. I don't really know. I'm sorry.

I found the receipt for the seeds and left a copy with the receptionist, if you have time to pick it up. Perhaps Mr. Lane will forgive your debt, given the circumstances.

Best,
Wally

Wally,

Oh my word! Well, that certainly isn't a very kind thing for them to do. I shall write to the Secretary of Space Defense at once and insist that they give you your post back. The nerve of those silly people! You have been the backbone of this outpost and I will not stand by while they diminish your worth. You just watch, we'll have you back in no time.

In the meantime, please feel free to stop by my place if you need anything. There's a spare cottage in our compound area and you are welcome to it.

Oh, and thank you for the receipt. That Mr. Lane was getting really snippy!

Yours,
Lilly

Secretary of Space Defense,

I find it most disagreeable that you would take dear Mr. Wallace from his post as the Director of the Botanical Dome. I insist that you reinstate him or I shall tell the media how you deprived our outpost of the most necessary of food and assistance. I will not take no for an answer!!!

Lilly James

Secretary of Space Defense,

Your time is up! Did you think we would not take the crystals? Why even now, our operative has infiltrated your ranks and is bringing back the secret to us. We shall prevail!

My dearest Jonathan,

Thank you for your note, love. I am hoping for my return soon as well. Only, something strange is going on here.

(You notice a break in the page, a difference in the writing which continues, more hurried)
Oh my! Jonathan, please prepare for me to come directly. I just learned of a dreadful murder of the most sweet Mr. Clide, you remember him? He was dearest friends with Gertie. Oh, I must hurry. I will see you directly. Be careful!

Nora,

Gerty? Mr. Clide? I don't think you've told me about them. You should receive this letter when on the ST platform back home. Don't go with the ST3, but with the ST9. Be safe.

Love, your Jonathan

Sam

Do you have any idea how late you've been staying out for the last month and a half!? Now I realize you have your new job and everything, but you really need to get this worked out with your boss! I've told you a million times. Be home by 12! Don't make me have to write a letter to Miss Lilly, myself!!

Mass Letter to all Botanical Dome Personal;

Due to circumstances beyond our control we will be shutting down and destroying the Botanical Dome before there is a breach. Questions should be directed to Wallace as he was in charge during the time of these events, we believe him to be a traitor and should be watched very carefully.

If anyone has news of "Subject X" (the crystals that were to be destroyed) or of any odd goings on in the Botanical Dome, please forward any relevant data. Those who do not comply will be considered a terrorist and be taken care of accordingly.

Secretary of Space Defense

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wallace;

Commander James Woordall here sending you news of my arrival. I will be taking over your command and fundamentally shutting down and destroying the Botanical Dome. Nothing is to leave the contaminated site, people or plants. If news of this has happened you will be the one blamed.

You may wish to speak to a "Lilly" as her words may find you in jail or, worse, dead. Keep your woman on a leash. I intercepted her letter but I think the Secretary of Space Defense is looking to remove your head and needs no other reasons.

Your Replacement, Commander Woordall
