January 2099 [ June 2019]
Unspeakables -
We have another year of productivity here at the Department of Mysteries ahead of us. I am pleased to report that the peculiar behavior of the 42 rock pillows in the Decompression Chamber last term has seem to resolve itself and the situation has achieved equilibrium. What cause the appearance of the golem remains a mystery, so stay alert and remember constant vigilance. I would prefer no red shirting happen while on the clock.
Now some additional logistics:

Otherwise I will be carefully monitoring your research and results during the course of the year and will reevaluate each employee as 2099 draws to a close. A handful of you will be hearing from me in the coming days, so pay attention for an official summons.
There will be no department meeting at this time. Should you require an audience with myself, simply stop by my office.
