Borowski?  Dr. McDermott is here and he…”  The doctor tore the headset away from the man and put in on his own head.“Borowski? Damn it, you know that we can’t afford to lose even a single subject.  Both your government and my company has invested hundreds of millions of dollars on each one of those elites, and I’ll be damned if I let you harm a hair on their heads!” McDermott blared into the microphone.  “Of course, you capture them, but do it without killing them.  And if the chips are damaged, they’re as good as dead to us, so the less harm done, the better…I don’t care how you do it, just do it!” he ripped the headset off and threw it back at the operator in anger.  Finally he sat down, removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes.  “God almighty, what a mess…” he muttered.</blockquote>
