There is. It's another letter, although this one looks more official, like an office document.
It's addressed "From the Office of Relakim Sim, Internal Affairs, Chair."
Mary,
First, let me thank you for the excellent work you've been doing. When we first drew your name as a candidate for this position, we knew then we had the right woman for the job. For the past five years, you've been nothing short of exemplary in dealing with the rest of the staff.
It is with this in mind that I must send you my concerns over the growing tension I am seeing amongst the staff, especially those in the lower blocks. Lately, I have been getting reports of fights breaking out over the storage of the so-called "Lean Man" that was brought in two months ago.
I was going to write this off as a combination of cabin fever and anxiety, as I've been cooped up in this facility for longer than anyone, and I've seen the body, myself. While we have a great deal to learn from it, it is unsettling, I'll admit.
What has necessitated this letter was an incident that occurred this morning between Solomon Spade, our head of security, and Doctor T. Redding, whom I believe you already know. The two apparently escalated into a fist fight, encouraged by the rest of the staff, which then escalated further into an outright brawl between two groups. This occurred over an argument over whether one or the other was really who they said they were. Or, this is what I am told. Of course, I can vouch for both of these men. They have been my friends for longer than my colleagues, and I cannot imagine them coming to blows, much less thinking one or the other was an impostor of any kind. I am going to look into this personally.
However, it should go without saying that as the head of our Personnel Care division, the emotional and mental well-being of all of our staff should be your top concern. I'm afraid that something has gone wrong with the way this facility handles its interoffice communication, as what was once a few heated exchanges has somehow steamrolled into something that may be beyond our control.
This has been isolated to the lower blocks for now, so I am going to seal all decks from level 5 down. We'll convert the tunnel decks to hold the more vital projects.
I would like you to take a crew into the lower blocks with a security detail and try to reason with the crew. I most assuredly do not believe they are so far gone as to not understand that a line has been crossed. As a personal note, I will add that a good number of these people have been my friends for a very long time. You are one of my newest. I trust them, and cannot believe this has happened to them. Please, ensure their safety.
~Sims
...Hm.
