WHAT DID I MISS?

WE DON'T WANT TO REHASH THE ENTIRE MEETING.

HOW ABOUT A QUICK SUMMARY?

NO, IF WE LEAVE OUT ANY DETAILS, YOULL THINK WE MADE THE WRONG DECISIONS.

IT'S BEST FOR US IF WE KEEP YOU IGNORANT AND ANGRY.

IF YOU MARGINALIZE ME, I WILL BECOME A NEMESIS TO YOUR PROJECT!

I'M COOL WITH THAT.

SORT OF LIKE A MASCOT?

A NEMESIS IS NOT LIKE A MASCOT!

MAYBE YOU COULD WEAR A GIANT SQUIRREL COSTUME.
