competition thought Dave. "
"Willard is coming by today, " said Addie. "I asked him to stop by and we would give him all the information he desired.  "
"Let's meet in the downstairs salon, that unisex Barbershop. "
"Style-Cuts, " said Addie as she painted her lipstick on blue-powder the new fashion rage.
"What is that lipstick you're using? You look like a punk dudette," laughed Dave
"I also purchased a plastic dress. "
"I can see through you. "
"Not x-ray, plastic you nut. " 
"You're bra shows through?" teasingly said Dave as he held her arm.
She chopped his arm behind his shoulder so that he exclaimed, "bitch that hurt. "
"Hold you're libido. "
"You asked for it. "
"You analyzed my speech pattern. "
She walked up to his desk and slammed her hand across his hand. He reacted by tripping her onto the floor. So that she jumped up and kicked the side of his desk that split across.
Observing what happened a security guard approached with a gun in his hand.  "Both of you must leave immediately or you will be arrested.  " His heavy set body alertly moved between the two combatants. Physical combat was prohibited within company areas.  "Fight this out in the Karate Room, " the guard ordered.
"Good idea, " said Dave as he put his arm around Addie.
"I like the way you tripped me up. A new Karate move? "
"I learned that from my Sensei. "
The "normal" couple left the office area for the Karate Room.  Company policy required combat to occur only in designated areas.  Sublimation of anger, fear and competition must be a team need so that the company is unaffected.  Group hostilities are handled by physical experts in primal screaming and martial arts. At any time that hostile behavior would occur the participants are required to leave company work areas and continue sublimation in specific locations.

Willard thought, "I planned the covert operation logically.  Irrational reactions result from illogical thought patterns.  Dave would be the medium for the new system design, transmitted by Addie.  Given their previous successes with espionage no one would question the design. Everything would interface correctly, however data would not talk to input/output. Therefore creating a schizophrenic computer with a multiple-personality would result. This would exceed the effect of a computer virus, easily tracked and annihilated by existing programs. The computer would provide a false sense of security, with processors communicating without actually exchanging information.
My computer design background provided the necessary face validity for creating the design.  Engineering would sign-off on the project as a new design that must be tested. Addie would write the documentation assuming the design was valid.  Dave would receive the copy and provide Conrad with a specification.  Conrad would push production before my company.  Page 10
Conwine's revenge, Dave's disaster, Addie's deception, and my job!  Dave would get drunk.  Conwine would promote me, and Addie would never forget what happened.  Conwine is Cassias to Conrad's Caesar, while I watch Dave play Brutus to Conrad. As an outsider I watch the play unfold, reaping encouragement from other people's success and
