    ATTENTION ALL R.O.A.C.H. Personnel:


    The initial test of the Astrophysicist-Confusing Reverse Laser has been successful. Project Sanjit Death Ray is proceeding according to plan.


    Thank you all for the great work. Please join us in Submarine Pen #4 after your shift for pizza and beer.
