email To: Roman Brock From: Director Ryan Macintosh Subject:
Roman,
Director Fitzgerald has decided to retire from the HQ to pursue a quieter career overseeing the new R&D lab in New York. His reasons were fairly vague, but I got the feeling that it had something to do with the reality shift. I didn't ask. The point is, if you want his old position, I'm offering it to you first. Personally, I hope you take it. You're the one person who could probably keep the rest of your department from bringing the whole building down.
Fitzgerald doesn't leave for another week, so take your time thinking it over. Please don't leave us in the hands of one of your co-workers. If you can't reach me, you can leave your answer with Jane.
