[/Log# Meridian 1//Consortium MiCo Comm]
Communications Ministry Secretary Susurrus-Reach: Mr. Hazler, it has been some time. My apologies for the abrupt nature of this comm. Your request is granted for this meeting. For what reason did you feel the need to climb up the chain for me?
Eko: First of all, thank you for granting this. Second, your underlings take too goddamn long to get anything done..
Communications Ministry Secretary Susurrus-Reach: We received and processed your request for a new Evaporator Complex for the Life Support system, it will arrive in.. two Earth days. The FM-7 platforms can perform the installation, there is no need for you to do it yourself. If that's what you were concerned about, it was misplaced.
Eko: Yes I'm aware, read the requisition response message and the contents of the installation procedure. Admittedly, I'm relieved I won't have to crawl into the service conduits to do it myself. Still, that's *not* why I requested to meet with you..
Communications Ministry Secretary Susurrus-Reach: Tell me then, why did you?
Eko: No offense, but did anyone read my report? The colum fluid in the scrubber, I've never seen it turn red before. Every time I've exchanged a spent one, it's violet. I'm concerned what that could mean, and..
Communications Ministry Secretary Susurrus-Reach: No offense is taken, and I will be forthright with you; We do not have an answer as to why the colum fluid turned that color. Perhaps the scrubber is defective, or the malfunction of the evaporation complex caused this. You are far more of engineer than I.
Eko: Yeah, yeah, yeah.. Can we have the fluid tested in some way?
Communications Ministry Secretary Susurrus-Reach: I do not understand why we should set aside the resources for that.
Eko: Jesus, just a simple lab test to examine the contents. How many possible resources can that take? I have a feeling it's caused by something more than a mechanical failure.
Communications Ministry Secretary Susurrus-Reach: A feeling is not cause for that.
Eko: Maybe not, but what if this happens again? We really should examine it and make sure that it isn't something worse. You don't live on this box, none of you do! None of you directly deal with day to day operations! None of you will accept the reality of the dangers, none of you are ripped away from your wife to half-rot alone on a-
Communications Ministry Secretary Susurrus-Reach: Calm yourself, Mr. Hazler. There is no need for this aggressive tone. Your concerns are noted. Very well. When the automated courier vessel arrives to deliver the replacement evaporator complex, you may send off with it the scrubber module. Just make sure it is secure in a flight case.
Eko: *sigh* Yeah.. yeah I will. I just really want to make sure the entire system isn't compromised in some way that the diagnostic executions can't see.
Communications Ministry Secretary Susurrus-Reach: I will admit, that is understandable and logical. But let us be honest.. you are concerned this is related to the creatures?
Eko: I have no idea, but considering Life Support is immediately above..
Communications Ministry Secretary Susurrus-Reach: Yes, yes. Deck 11. I have not forgotten. My people fear little, but that portion of the station made even I somewhat uneasy the one time I set foot there.
Eko: I only have to pass through there twice a year and I utterly despise it. I feel I'm going slip up once and end up neck deep in shit. But that's somewhat of another topic..
Communications Ministry Secretary Susurrus-Reach: Indeed. Is there anything further?
Eko: Not that I can think of..
Communications Ministry Secretary Susurrus-Reach: It was nice chatting with you Mr. Hazler, if a bit trying at times. Work on that.
Eko: Meridian 1 out.

I. Hate. Everyone.
Good morning.
So.. I got the exact response I thought I would receive.
I'll share the chat log later today, this is both hilarious and tragic.
