      So people keep asking me: “why build a massive research facility at the bottom of a salt mine?” Well, I’ll tell you: science! That’s why. Those safety-obsessed, bureaucratic government types are always slowing things down. Better to move this operation indoors so we can get to work. And that’s where you come in: get your assignment at the desk, and let’s make history.
