I know you all stole a shock collar implant. I don't know how you did it, but I know. Boyle chalked it up to an inventory mistake rather than admit he allowed such a breach.
I handle inventory of important assets. I'm very meticulous.
I also have the rig's layout memorized. It's my job to know the rig from top to bottom. Security systems, ventilation shafts, hidden passageways, access tunnels, exhaust pipelines...
[Places where you might get dust and soot on your clothes...]
I know from IT help desk tickets that the camera in his office never works and that Alexa never responds there, the latter being of great annoyance to him. I know Boyle's lunch schedule because I handle the scheduling. I also know from reviewing HR complaints about lab security that Boyle keeps leaving his computer screen unlocked when he walks away from his desk.
I know his floor has a hidden access tunnel under one part of the rug. He doesn't.
[He knows all those things because he's a very, very good bureacrat.]
I'm good at my job.
[He holds out the slip of paper.]
If there are any of you left that understand technology, if they're still studying the shock collar you stole...
It won't solve your problems but it might at least help them understand the activation frequencies. I don't have the security clearances to get you into the tower control room. This is the closest I can get you.
[A pause, as he realizes something else.]
Well... I suppose I can also give you this, as well. It might help even more.
[...And he holds out his fob for the shock collars.]
You'll only have about four hours before one of the regular security checks discovers I've "misplaced" it. If that. They regularly check that I still have it in my possession, that it hasn't been lost.
When they find out, they'll transmit a code that makes it self destruct, destroying its potential utility. Just like the other transmission signals, it can't easily be blocked.
