While it is the first documented case of the diesease, here at the
institute we fear that it is only the tip of the ice-berg.
Our attempts to produce a strong enough Vaccine to counter this diesease
are floundering. Every month we hear of re-manafactured parts that are
introduced and prompt an outbreak. you are all aware of the symptoms,
'ooh the so and so looks a bit tatty, and the gimcrick behind it is
worn.......' When it reaches this stage there is very little we
professionals can do with out the co-operation from the affected party.
as you know again these addicts rarely want to stop.
I'm sorry to paint such a grim picture but that is how it is, I must go
now and take the carpet out....ARRRGGGHHH one of the petri dishes must
have been broken........!
