hey. looks like you're all busy right now and joanne is down with a cold, so this probably doesn't have to be fancy. r&d doesn't report anything major for the next month so don't be dumbasses and make a problem of your own. don't fuck with the liaison, we're not replacing him. looks like there's some weird fucking stone at city hall now. enjoy that, i guess. pretty sure zee warned you about the stones, but if you broke it, that sucks and we don't know how to fucking fix it yet so good job, idiot. you might need to be a little proactive. r&d probably has something in mind, but good fucking luck getting a straight answer out of any of them but the kid. maybe they'll at least tell zee what they need, though. or if you're chill with the loss, whatever. that's about it. wait, right. joanne wanted to thank two of you for letting her help with holiday shit last month. thanks for not being assholes. the kid likes having stuff to do, i guess. and that's really it. later.

Really... an ADA complaint might be in order. Mr. Carlisle should have made sure there were reasonable accommodations in place before sending her out.

Of course, he didn't even warn us that the place we were going was going to have an average temperature over 80 degrees warmer than here, so... I guess he's not that concerned. With anything.

Oh, thank you!

it's a forest?

oh wait is this another joke?

that's really hot though how did you all stay hydrated

[floret]

I have to be honest with you.
I think I might've been serious.

Well there was tons of water to drink fortunately. But because of all the sweating,
our electrolytes were depleted, and we really didn't have a good mechanism for replenishing them... so there were a lot of, you know, ill effects. But none of us died.

[lalliho]

ah

[jamie............]

I don't really understand electrolytes but it's good no one died

[floret]

Oh they're pretty simple! They're ionic compounds that enable the conduction of electricity. Physiologically, the most important ones are sodium and potassium. The body loses electrolytes whenever it loses fluid, and the idea is that we replenish them through our diet, but in extreme conditions, we can't replace them fast enough, and it can cause all sorts of problems. That's why athletes drink specially formulated drinks instead of plain water. And that's why I was sort of worried they kept just sending us bottles and bottles of water, and no salt tablets or anything...

[...the finer sciences of this goes over his head, but at least he understands the gist of the end. Person needs both salt and water to live. Weird.]

if that's true why can't people drink salt water
