Setbacks

Do you have any idea how hard it is to work on such intricate, delicate mechanisms as the ones involved in my escape plan when you're surrounded by the constant noise of munching, moaning, and meanness? (That last one, by the way, is Princess. Don't ask me how, but she emanates the sound of mean. I'm not kidding.)

Also, I left my theoretical physicals book and my brand new, unopened box of pipettes upstairs. This could seriously set back my progress. Still, I'm confident that I'll have time to complete everything before the people get back. If only the halflife of Strontium wasn't so long, this whole thing would be a lot easier...
