And yes, he DID almost say Head Cabbage instead of Wes just now - and did in his head.
Esme shot a quick smile at Aron as he agreed with her statement, only adding that he had to get the rest of the samples from the area first. Of course, that made perfect sense. Couldn't very well take individual samples and bring them to the lab; that was obviously way too time consuming. "Of course. Can't disappoint the boss."

Okay they were supposed to investigate the area. Where was she supposed to start. She spotted Aron and Esme both collecting samples and then the lady that she had met at the Employee's Orientation, Dacs started giving everyone instructions. Melissa listened and when Dacs told everyone to start working, Melissa made her way to Esme to see whether she needed her help. If not she could always ask Aron whether he needed help collecting more drool samples.
She approached Esme and asked,"Excuse me. I was wondering whether you need anyone to assist you? I would like to volunteer to help."
Oh good. A volunteer. Esme flashed a smile and nodded in response to the woman's question. "I sure could use someone. Two pairs of hands is better than one." She waggled the fingers of one gloved hand before speaking again. "Sorry I can't shake but the equipment makes it a little difficult. I"m Esme, by the way."
She pulled out a few small Petri-like dishes and a set that included tweezers and a small device that would allow for cutting pieces of food if they were connected to a large piece.
"We'll be using this to collect the samples. Oh, and...." She rummaged in the bag again, pulling out a dropper this time. "Tweezers for food samples and dropper for the drink sample. Collect each and place the individual sample on the dish and make sure the cover is tightly closed. There's some little labels on top that you can write on, to say what type of food or drink that the sample is from, and also if it was frozen or not frozen, or any other characteristics that you think may be important."
Esme paused, looking up with a slightly sheepish look. "Got that? Sorry if I went a little fast."
