     “Exactly, so, why can’t we think  
the same way about the mice that ended 
up on the Dark-Side?” I asked her.     
     “What do you mean?”               
     “What if we worked with the Techs 
to double-check the racks before they  
were pushed all the way into the room? 
     “I mean, really, if contamination 
was that freakin’ instantaneous, why   
are we only spraying everything down   
once a month, instead of every freakin’
minute of the day?”                    
     “I think I’m going to talk to Elle
and see what she thinks. Personally, I 
think it’s a good idea. I see no pro-  
blem with it, except if anyone from    
that independent company sees us doing 
it, we might lose our A plus certifi-  
cation, and that’s one thing we’ve got 
to avoid at all cost.                  
     “Those are scheduled, though, so  
they shouldn’t be that hard to work    
around.”                               
     The next day, I told Denise about 
what had happened, and she hugged me.  
     “You did it,” she said and hugged 
me again.                              
     Alicia was over in the corner     
talking to Elle, the Tech lead, and    
they were both nodding their heads.    
Alicia gave us a thumbs up.            
     “No, we did it. Operation Fuck    
You, is now fully operational, and you 
were a big-time part of that. Alicia is
rallying the troops as we speak,” I    
said and pointed her way.              
     “Even the common folk are with    
us.”                                   
     “The evil overlords are next,”    
Denise said, and we both knocked       
knuckles.                              
     Before she left town, we did find 
out that the zero-tolerance contamina- 
tion rule did have one exception that  
no one knew about, because it wasn’t   
reflected in the rules. That’s so the  
rules committee or that independent    
company wouldn’t know about it.        
     It was considered one of those    
infamous unwritten rules that no one   
bothered to tell any of us about, and  
thirty mice were fucking killed for no 
fucking reason because of it.          
     When I heard about it, I almost   
started yelling again. I do that a lot,
but this time I realized that it’d be  
stupid and figured the better solution 
would be to channel all that anger     
into, what we were now calling OFU, or 
Operation Fuck You.
