    Summary

    “If Ra’as wants something, he can ask me himself,” Bruce said, through gritted teeth.

    “My father wants nothing yet,” Talia replied. “But your answer confirms my understanding. You are the ideal — no, the only — person I can ask. I need you to help me find someone, Bruce. I need you to help me find the person who tried to kill my beloved.”

    Beloved.

    That word stung, although part of Bruce recognised that it should not: although he had loved Talia passionately, that had been many years ago. They had both changed since then. It was only natural that she should move on with another, as he had with Selina.

    “You seem confused,” Talia continued. “I speak of Bruce Wayne, of course. The one native to this universe."

    Alternatively: the Bruce Waynes of two very different universes switch places.

    Summary

    As you are no doubt aware, one of the most vital aspects of people management is ensuring one makes the time for one's line reports via an annual review, wrote Peter Lukas, to Jonathan Sims. It's important we understand your performance over the last year and your goals and objectives for the coming one. I wouldn't want you to feel unsupported by Institute management.

    How many bottles of whisky have you got left in your desk drawers? messaged Jon, to Daisy.

     

    Jon has his annual review. He feels exactly as supported by Institute management as Peter Lukas hopes he will.

    Summary

    The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has a long history of successfully containing and controlling suspected xenotic events.

    [COMMENT: Jonathan Sims] Hubris is unwise in these matters. EXPERT OPINION.
    -
    [COMMENT: Aimee Lord] Mr Sims has marked all his comments as expert opinion, possibly due to a misunderstanding of #2 in the "read me" section? @Lucy.Patel can you check whether this is clinically relevant advice or just Mr Sims being "colourful"?
    -
    [COMMENT: Lucy Patel] Mr Sims is still out of office with no known return date. Spoke to Martin Blackwood, Archival Assistant, who advised that if Mr Sims is warning against hubris, it should probably be taken seriously.
