Hi HQ. Got your communication.

Per last update, I’ve been hot on the trail of Dr. Botanicus. (At a swimming pool now, trailing him, as he seems to have a penchant for synchronized swimming.)

Mad scientist convention and masked ball is going to go down in early March. I’ll just need one back-up to cover the job. Specific dates & times in my next post. (Wonder why the mad scientists want to have a masked ball? Who knows, they’re just mad, I guess.)

Apparently, Botanicus will be convening a bunch of the world’s pre-eminent bad guys to discuss his plans to take over the planet. Chatter indicates that his latest plans involve machines, plants, robotized plants, and other strange stuff. It’s madness, that’s for sure.

In the meantime, if you see a strange character in a lab coat who’s trying to take over the world, drop me a line on my secure email.

Erik, nice to finally meet you. Liked your last message in my year-end posting. Pretty slick “code.” (I wonder how many people figured out that they had to highlight the screen?) See you at the mad scientist convention. Look forward to seeing more of you.
