>>>>>[Mr. Henry, I must say that I am impressed with both your
facilities and your personnel. The team is going to take a bit of
getting used to, but I think we can manage. Also, I must thank you for
the new Toyota Elite. It will suit my needs very nicely.

Now, on to the subject of the team. They are a good mix, but I was
wondering why you think we need a mathematician. I do hope you aren't
getting superstitious about chaos theory... Anyway, I'd like to hear
your views on the purpose of each team member. I also heard you mention
something about a Technical file about the game. If possible, I would
like a copy of that.

I've been thinking about OptiClash and its goals, etc., and I believe I
have come up with a sculpted system that would fit this scheme
perfectly.

UPLOAD SEGMENT _Paradise Lost_

This piece by John Milton describes Heaven. I thought this might be
appropriate for a sculpted system. I'm still toying with this idea, so
if you have any ideas on it, feel free to comment.

Finally, I wrote a memo to the design team. I have given them a great
deal of freedom, although I do ask that they check with me on important
things. I fear that I have nowhere near the knowledge necessary to carry
on a sophisticated conversation with any of them on their level. When it
comes to inter-field interaction, the persons involved will sort out the
situation. We are going to have weekly meetings, though.

I'll ask for that Technical file from Diane, along with any other
game-related files available. Oh, one last question: are we on a
budget?]<<<<<

>>>>>[Greetings, fellow employee! I'm memo-ing to request a couple of
files: the Tech specs on OptiClash and whatever else you have that
pertains to the game. Specifically, I'd like to know what rules are
already made up. Say, I just got an idea. What would you say to bringing
those files to Matchstick's tonight and having dinner with me? Say, oh,
8:00? Hope to see you there!]<<<<<
