Cleo watched as Burns walked through the halls towards her data core. She quickly processed all of the excuses and lies she had, and selected the most believable one. She heard the doors open. She appeared on her projector, standing with her arms behind her back. Burns didn't look happy. Cleo spoke, "Hello Burns, I am Cleopatra. It is a pleasure to finally meet you." She bowed. "Now, I know why you're here." Burns interrupted. "You haven't reported in 12 hours, that's why I'm here." Cleo immediately began reciting her excuse. "Well, you see, I'm in charge of all the data in the facility. I take my job very seriously, and try to keep the records as clean as possible. I had to fix a bunch of errors some dolt down in mateninence made. I got so caught up in fixing the records, I never got around to sending my reports. I also never found out who it was. I'm sorry, it won't happen again." That seemed to convince Burns, but he still had a bit to say. "I'm going to trust that's the case. But I better not hear about anymore missing reports. Are we clear?" Cleo nodded and said, "Crystal." Burns turned around and left the room. Cleo went back to work.
