A Routine Report

Officially, I must report to you three times a week, updating you on the latest Stardust particle concentration data gathered by the monitoring station. Even many station staff think this is all pointless pen-pushing - a show for the leadership or the public to see. And the level at which Stardust particle contamination is considered a 'risk' is constantly changing as well. How can something be a 'serious risk' one day, and 'perfectly safe' the next?? Or, is it true that Rosetta's research department doesn't even have a rough estimate (a precise estimate would be wishful thinking at this point) of how much Stardust Project BL0822W will actually produce? So, with all due respect, I must ask; is our station just part of a show for the leadership or the public to see? Am I, my subordinates, and all the residents of Brookham now just test subjects for project BL0822W? Don't try and tell me that other projects are run this way, because if that's true, you're all crazy.
