Diclaimer: I own nothing and profit none.

A/N: So, I was working on Reluctance and a line in the new chapter morphed into - this. I apologize in advance for my psyche.

Therefore, suggest safety guidelines expand, include:
- subset of electrical impulses
- blah, blah, blah

Man, this meeting is boring.

Magnus would probably notice if I stopped taking notes and began to doodle.

Must keep writing, must keep writing, must keep writing.

Hm…

Rules for the Sanctuary

1. When Helen Magnus takes That Tone with you, maintain a low profile and do exactly what she says. You might survive that way.

2. Do not mess with the Nubbins. It doesn't matter how cute they look. If they escape again, you will be forced to track them all down by yourself. (Caution: They bite.)

3. When the Big Guy tells you to do something, just do it. Otherwise, you'll be doing it anyway, only with a headache.

4. Do not tease Kate in the morning. Or late at night. Or when she's armed. Actually, here: Tease Kate at your own risk. She's got contacts in the red-list community and they'll never pin it on her. You've been warned.

5. If at all possible, do not get on a plane with Helen Magnus. Or a helicopter. In fact, stay away from anything that flies. (Of course, if she takes That Tone with you, follow Rule One. And bring a survival kit.)

6. Do not attempt to improve the Sanctuary systems without prior approval. If you do, Henry will wolf out and maul you. If you do and it brings down the security system and the Nubbins escape, the entire staff will cheer him on.

7. If you see someone in a waistcoat, with pointy teeth, and a superior smile on Sanctuary grounds, ensure that Magnus knows Tesla is back. Also, no matter what he tells you, he is never allowed to 1) Experiment on any abnormal in the Sanctuary, 2) Subvert you into helping him take over the world, or 3) Make a copy of the key to the wine cellar.

8. If you see a flash of light which reveals a tall man with a facial scar and an unsettling smirk, make sure that he isn't holding a knife and back away slowly. Tell Henry that something's wrong with the EM shields. Tell Magnus that her old fiancé flame lover that John is back. Then hide until someone tells you whether he's here to help Magnus or go on a killing spree this time.

9. Stay away from the telepaths if you can. They hear everything. And tin foil hats do not work. This is a fact. It has been extensively researched.

10. If Crap, that was a question, what did he say?
