Intercepted GDI Transmission regarding secret Liquid Tiberium research in Australia

To:   Dr. James De Groot, Chair, GDI Institute for Tiberium Research, [Redacted], Australia

From:   Eliot Smith-Johnson, Director, Department of Covert R&D, Washington DC, USA

Subject: Another explosion?!

Jack, I'm running out of excuses here. One more 'accident' like that and the Council will have my neck - and your budget. You've lost almost two dozen workers in the last year alone and, as you are WELL aware, these aren't your garden-variety beaker-slingers, these are top-ranked Tib scientists and they're getting harder to replace! You have to understand, Jack, people just don't want to work for you, not with all that's happened already, no matter how many zeroes we add to their paychecks.

I understand the potential you see in Liquid Tiberium, and I applaud your passion, but I'm beginning to side with those in the council who seriously doubt whether this line of inquiry will amount to anything other than billions of credits - and lives - down the drain.

Listen Jack, I'm at the end of my tether here. Get it together and start producing results or we're going to shut you down.

- Eliot

截获GDI关于在澳大利亚秘密液态泰伯利亚研究的信息

收件人：Dr. James De Groot，GDI泰伯利亚研究所主席，[已编辑]，澳大利亚

发件人：Eliot Smith-Johnson，美国华盛顿特区秘密研发部主任

主题：另一次爆炸？！

Jack，我找不到借口了。再有一次那种‘意外’发生，理事会就会掐死我—和你的预算。仅仅过去一年你就损失了二十几名员工，你也清楚，那些不是你的那些捣鼓烧杯的普通人，他们是顶尖泰伯利亚科学家，越来越难找到替代的了！你得理解，Jack，人们就是不想给你工作，已经发生了这么多事，不管在他们薪水后面加几个零也不行了。

我明白你在液态泰伯利亚里看到的潜力，我也为你的热情喝彩，但是我开始站在理事会的那边，他们严重怀疑这条研究路线会不会除了让无数工作人员——和生命——付之一炬以外没有任何结果。

听着Jack，我已经尽力了。你如果不搞出点成果来，我们就停了你的研究。
