I get the feeling things are starting to come to a head

Brain_Stem[19:33]: You got a package from me today, right?
He's pretty worried about that package. Night_Watcher[19:33]: Yeah. I haven't opened it yet. Been busy. Brain_Stem[19:33]: Well, I need you to make some more implants. Twenty of them. All of the materials should be there. This could be my chance. Night_Watcher[19:34]: I hope you included some extra material. You remember how much trouble we had with the first ones? Brain_Stem[19:34]: Yes, I remember. There should be plenty of material. All I have to do is be careful Night_Watcher[19:35]: You're not planning on loading 20 new people onto the system immediately, are you? I don't think it could handle that many at once. Brain_Stem[19:35]: No. I'm only planning on loading one more, for now. I just want to have a supply on hand. He's figured out how to store them. I've got to find out how. Night_Watcher[19:35]: What about the roots? I thought that you said that they would go bad. Brain_Stem[19:36]: A liquid nitrogen bath freezes them quickly enough to avoid lysis. Then you can just keep them in the freezer. Simple, really.
Perfect. I can get liquid nitrogen. I hope I have freezer space left. Night_Watcher[19:36]: Cool. So, when do you want them? Brain_Stem[19:36]: Early next week. Monday, if possible. He's nuts. He's out of his mind. Night_Watcher[19:37]: You're crazy. There's no way. I'd have to drop EVERYTHING, including sleep. Brain_Stem[19:37]: I thought you didn't sleep. :) I'll pay you a thousand for every implant that's finished by Monday, and five hundred for all of the implants that you finish after Monday. $20,000! They'll be finished Monday. They'll be finished if I have to figure out a time warp. Where's he getting all this money, though? Night_Watcher[19:38]: So, if I finish all of them by midnight on Monday night, and they ship out first thing Tuesday morning, that's $20,000, right? Brain_Stem[19:38]: That's correct. Where is he getting all this money? Night_Watcher[19:38]: OK. I'll get to work on them right away. Have a good night. A knife. A knife. Where's a knife? My keys will probably work. Whoa, he wasn't kidding when he said he sent some extra. If I'm careful, there's probably enough here for 40 implants. So that's one for Lala, one for Caveman, one for . . . Yeah, this is good.
