Some nights later...


PRINCIPAL: you understand why you've been called here?
MURRIT: sure do.
PRINCIPAL: the board of directors has reached a verdict on how you'll be disciplined.
MURRIT: sweet.
PRINCIPAL: according to your account, you are the reason for hundreds of thousands in credit for damages, plus the loss of over a dozen bloodlines that will never be reinstated into our systems.
PRINCIPAL: several associates of mine are out sick and under watch in stasis, due to prolonged exposure to the radiation.
MURRIT: wow.
MURRIT: that's crazy.
PRINCIPAL: ...
PRINCIPAL: and you're prepared to take full responsibility for this?
