The Company "Ohm Universal"

Subject: Rogue Agent
In regards to the incident:
Please excuse my excessive spam over this, but I need input on this now. It appears that one of our agents "Auramus" has began making maneuvers against the company, and it is in my best interest to preserve order in the universe. Should he be successful in eliminating company influence in his local universe, it may go into an uncontrolled rise in entropy and eventually destroy itself. I wish not for this universe to end in that manner because it contains over 30 billion inter-changeable credits worth of assets contained within it, and it would be a devastating loss of time and energy should these assets be destroyed.
I am going to start making an effort to start moving the bulk of our assets out of the universe in an attempt at protecting them, we need not lose anymore lives. I will also hire another agent in an attempt to deal with the incident regarding Auramus. I will begin searching once I am finished dealing with the tragic falsespace collapse and the appropriate paperwork. I am looking at a few beings, but the human named "Daniel Hoffman" is showing the most potential. Following him are Indiktu from a planet nearby Vega and Kalakatoa from a planet not very far from Betelgeuse.
I also am looking to authorize the purchase of a Biological Reconstruction Device, I had Auramus capture the soul of a "Fr'yr Lathiyades" (poor guy still thinks he killed him) just before he went insane. I am hoping that you may be able to pull a few strings to get that purchased and sent to me.

Thank you for your concern over Auramus, it does appear now that he has developed psychopathic and sociopathic tendencies. We will begin to focus on the universe and moving out assets (Why did we have so much stored in this single universe?) as well as containing Auramus.
Should we not be able to prevent him from succeeding, we will immediately begin a chaotic pump into a void universe in order to extract our assets before collapsing the universe. The cost of such maneuver may end up exceeding the benefit of extracting our assets, and it may be a wise move at that point to simply let them die.
I am also terribly sorry about the false space collapse, it was unexpected and shocking, and recovery of it is becoming quite expensive, but it will be well worth the cost as we are looking to increase the amount of false space we have control over.
As for the BRD, I will have to find the location of one before I am able to acquire it for you, this Lathiyades entity sounds like quite the asset (according to your previous memos and messages), and it may be in our best interest to introduce him into the bureaucracy of our company after we have reconstructed him.
As I take it, the higher-ups are also working on publicizing our operations, and are looking to send messages to all the major corporations in all the major universes. That too is getting quite expensive, but they say that it will be well worth the cost.

Are they crazy?!?! Did they take into account how much hostility they would receive from being public? And being the only profit-earning organization that spans multiple realities, there would be all sorts of security issues on both the digital and physical side.
I did some math, and it would be wise to not use a chaotic pump, I believe those cost an upward of half a billion dollars to construct, and that far exceeds the cost of moving the assets out of the universe. I also thank you for getting the BRD on order, hopefully it works on Solean beings as it works on Arcturans and Geuseans.

Subject: Security
The higher ups have hired a team consisting of programmers, network managers, cybersecurity specialists, and other computer scientists to develop a method for keeping our information secure, as I take it, they will have servers that are not physically connected to any network, and to get any information off them you would need physical access to the servers.
As for the chaotic pump, I am getting similar numbers, and I will request that you allow our assets to die if and when the universe collapses. As for the BRD, I received a message saying that it has been delivered to your location.
Since everything is being moved around thanks to the heads making the decision to make us public, everything is being disconnected, and we will have to terminate communication until everything has been implemented to existing protocols.

Subject: You screwed up big time
What in the bloody hell are you thinking?!?! You sent Auramus on a KILLING SPREE, eliminating EVERYONE related to our captured subject? Damn it, now if we reconstruct Lathiyades, he'll be a manically depressed chameleon with nothing to live for and constantly trying to put a gun to his head! As soon as the message is sent out, you are TERMINATED, with everyone you have control over being transferred to a new Universal Monitoring Agent who won't screw up so badly this time.
I want you to send back the Biological Reconstruction Device PRONTO so we can begin reconstruction of Lathiyades and everyone he is related to by blood. I expect it at my office by the end of the month, or I will use the "Monetary Damages" clause to get what I deserve back, no thanks to you.

Well then, terminate me already, I've been working for this asshole organization for who knows HOW LONG, and the only thing I've been able to do is paper work, no breaks, no coffee, no food or water, do you know how FUCKING INSANE I am being driven by this place? Sure, the pay is good, but that's all I'm here for.
And for the BRD, I've tried it and it WILL NOT WORK, I got a 424 "Failed Dependency" error, which means there's something that Lathiyades is dependent on, and the BRD is unable to replicate it without a sample, and if it's nonorganic, there is absolutely no hope for replicating Lathiyades. We will either have to keep his soul forever or destroy it. Your choice.
