Rumor Control
To: All Personnel
From: Management
Subject: Sub-basement Flooding
Despite what many of you may have heard, The Secret Lair was not invaded by subterranean mutants last night. The lower sub-basements are closed due to flooding brought on by unseasonal rainfall coupled with melting snow, not because we are repairing a sixty-foot wide hole and removing dozens of corpses. Rumors that we have sent a reconnaissance team into the vast network of tunnels beneath the Lair are entirely unfounded; personnel who propagate such rumors are subject to disciplinary measures including (but not limited to) immediate termination.
Episode 0048: The Great Old Pumpkin
Chris and Kris,
So you know, our effort here in the /basement/ is going well.
We’ve managed to get the sump-pump (read: rail-gun) running, and are working our way through the . . . sludge we find down here. The majority of damaged “material” has been dealt with, as well. (Though we could use a few more body bags.)
In a related matter, was it in your Great Plan to shore up the walls down here?
I believe we’ve also found an interesting species of venomous something-or-other… Could prove useful; I’ll let you know after further tests. Neurotoxins tend to have lots of uses.
I’ve given the “cleaners” strict orders to leave the venomous specimens be. We’ll need a few of each gender, unless we’ve got the Clone-a-Mat working again.

Do keep an eye out for gorgalthumpers while you’re down there.
