(ooc: chris-I can't remember if this had been sent to me yet??)
{OOC: See the offline note.....}

"That person was covering two projects and was doing spot-inspection on his
other project that day. Again another example of why I need a Safety Officer
dedicated to each individual project."
"It seems to me that is redundant, that a safety officer per research facility
is more practical.", commented the Rigelian.
