>>>>>[Mr. Slash, I heartily approve. Mr. Lister, after observing this
footage I liberated from InterPol, you too will concur that Mr. Slash's
precipitous actions regarding a certain toaster werebeneficial.

+++++ Include IP Camera Log +++++

From the shot you're seeing, you can't really tell anything. The camera
appears to be a fixed surveillance camera in a all too dreary and nearly
sterile environment. It appears as if it is a standard corporate
hallway.

Except, that is, for the armored glass doors at the end of it with the
reversed International Police logo painted upon it. While something of a
shame, you can tell that there is some commotion outside the doors. It
appears that a truck has pulled up and a large number of Interpol cops
are standing around it and laughing very hard. As the camera zooms in,
the focus of the logo fades and you gain a better view of the outside.

The truck itself is nothing special. A standard delivery truck, albiet a
rather large one, from a local distributer. From out of the back,
however, is rolling a forklift carrying a pallet of something. And
another. And another. And finally a last one.

The only other thing you recognize is the distinctive figure of Commander
Drake, standing there with a clipboard and pen in hand, shaking his head
with a very confused look on his face.

As the pallets are being moved into the building, the crowd begins to
thin out and cops start coming down the hallway, mostly behind Drake
himself. And you finally pick up some audio:

"Look's like you've got friends in high places, Paul."
"Yeah, but we wouldn't want to ugarcoat it, would we Jake."

"Shut up, guys."

And then the procession is past the camera's line of sight and audio pickup.

+++++ Change in Camera +++++

This time you are looking at Drake's office. Something of an eclectic
individual, Paul Drake is. He's got all kinds of drek scattered through
his office, including books, documents, golf clubs, a sniper rifle, a
grecian urn, and a photo of his family. Wow, Drake actually has a
family....

But the fascinating thing is more the audio feed you are hearing, as well
as the closeup you're seeing of Drake's desk.

The picture is of a small greeting card. It says "Dear Commander Drake,
I hear that you like DONUTS like most policemen do, so here are some
DONUTS for you to enjoy." It has no signature, but you know who sent
it. On the intercom, you hear Drake's voice saying "To all concerned
individuals. If I catch who of you organized this little prank.... But
regardless, enjoy the donuts. All 10 thousand of them."
