Mr. Peter Petruski

     While all agree he is perfectly suited to his current role Mr. Petruski 
came to the Institute by a rather twisted route.  This is important in 
understanding Institute practice so please bear with me.
     Originally an industrial chemist Mr. Petruski became fascinated by the 
possibilities inherent in a new adhesive he had invented.  Seeing its 
potential for humane weaponry that restrained rather than injured he attempted 
unsuccessfully to interest the military in his invention learning that their
supposed interest in equipment of this type is a just a cynical PR exercise to 
endear them to so called "Bleeding Heart Liberal Establishment".  
     Resigning his position and successfully retaining all rights to his 
invention after some legal wrangling Mr Petruski set about his own marketing
campaign.  Originally operating alone he soon joined with three like minded 
individuals an expanded the range of his talents.  Unfortunately while they 
initially attracted some media interest (his "Trapster" nickname dates from 
this period) as none of the quartet were businessmen they failed to attract 
the venture capital they needed.  The group broke up and the members went 
their separate ways. 
     While their joint venture failed the media reports caught Mr. Chainsman's
interest.  Contacting Mr Petruski he invited him to join the then under
construction Institute.  After some discussions Mr Petruski licensed his  
"paste gun" technology to the Institute and requested and accepted the  
position of Head Orderly so he could monitor how his invention functioned in
non laboratory conditions.  A mutually beneficial agreement this gained the
the Institute the rapid response humane restraint devices our orderlies and
security people required and Mr. Petruski the showplace to demonstrate the 
practicality of his invention.  An added bonus is that he had found he enjoys 
his position so we have no fears we will lose him to private industry as his  
technology gains popularity. 
     While an unsuccessful businessman he has also proven an excellent 
manager and the Orderly department has thrived under his guidance.  He has 
seen to it that all our orderlies are proficient in the use of the equipment
he approved and designed.  For now matter how effective the tools are they're
useless without the right people handling them.  That however is a problem we
do not have.

Orderlies and Subordinates


     As will you will understand given our specialized nature during the
design phase of the institute there were concerns regarding staffing.  We had 
already contracted the senior medical personnel and department heads we 
required and it was correctly believed that there would be no difficulties in 
hiring the necessary nursing staff.  However given the high security concerns 
there were questions regarding acquiring suitable orderly and administrative
personnel.
     Fortuitously it was during this time that the Delmo Corporation went 
into receivership.  While Delmo had been a most effective private security   
firm with a well trained and motivated staff it had been shaken by the 
untimely deaths of its founders and creators, the Hagens.  Having lost their  
focus and much of their resource base during this tragedy a number of hasty  
decisions were made that bankrupted the company.  Seeing an opportunity the  
Institute made an employment offer to the staff.  This was accepted 
conditional upon the committal of the individual they believed (but could not 
prove in court) to be responsible for the Hagen tragedy once the Institute was 
functioning.  Their own earlier attempts to deal with codename AIKa had ended
disastrously.
     As only a cursory study was necessary to establish that the woman in
question fit our criteria for involuntary committal this condition was accepted
and has since been carried out.  Though not without difficulties and it did
necessitate subsequently committing her self-proclaimed business manager
when she attempted to break in and free her.
     I would like to digress a moment to a related topic and mention that part      
of Mr. Chainsman's genius lies not only in creating many of the personal
restraints and therapy tools necessary for our work but also in the
construction of the containment systems necessary to secure the hazardous
artifacts that many of our patients possessed when admitted.  We have a
sub-basement known as The Vault loaded with Ultranate Lingerie, Moon Sceptres,
Power Rings, Magic Lassoes and all sorts of other formerly dangerous items.
Unfortunately this does reduce the number of unique restraints designed
specifically for the individual patients he can craft.  From both an aesthetic
and practical viewpoint it's unfortunate that our security concerns
necessitate this.  While it would be better if his talents could be employed
solely on the patients themselves but we have to bow to reality and use a fair
amount of generic equipment.
    Excuse me, could you repeat the question?
    No, should you tour the underground facility all you'll see of the Vault
on your tour is the door.  There is not and will never be any public access
to the Vault on this or on any other tour.  Because of the extreme security
concerns very few of our staff have the necessary clearance to enter.  Yes, I
know I said the contents are secure and I stand by that but they also
represent too great a temptation to allow unlimited access.
    No, I will not change my mind.  There will be no photo opportunities  
within the Vault.
    I should advise you that continuing to request access will put you in 
violation of the security agreement you signed.  I would recommend you 
remember the penalty clauses.
     I agree, let's return to talking about our staff.  It's only appropriate 
as we're entering the staff lounge.  Through there is the women's changing 
room.  It's five times bigger than the men's due to the scarcity of male
staff.  Thanks to Delmo's female only hiring policy we are one of the few  
institutions with an almost all female staff of orderlies.  In fact except
for Peter ... Wait!  Don't open that door!     
     Where was I?
     Ah, yes.  Delmo colour coded its staff's uniforms with respect to their
abilities and fields of expertise.  As they were fond of this practise and 
their uniforms' designs we have continued this practice. 
     In brief



Pink
Served and continue to serve as maintenance personnel keeping the Institute's
equipment running smoothly and the grounds and buildings in order.  Divided
into three subgroups; Utilities, Custodial & Groundskeeping.



Black
You saw them in the open wards and outpatient area.  Delmo's least specialized
employees they are, to be charitable, ineffective against patients who resist
therapy.  However they were able to assume duties in the unsecured areas with
minimal retraining.  While they used to report directly to Mr Petruski we have
recently hired a Chief Black Orderly named Hitomi who hopes to improve both
their morale and fighting skills and break them of their defeatist attitude.



Blue
Well versed in firearms and equipped with paste guns and tape buddies they
serve as orderlies in the secure ward.  When they were first hired Mr.
Petruski instituted an intensive target shooting program to cure them of
Stormtrooper's Syndrome.  Thanks to his efforts they can now accurately hit
human sized targets at both long and short range.  The disciplinary methods 
he instituted during this retraining were not resented.  Quite the contrary.
In fact majority of the Blues now regard him with the same devotion they once
had for Delmo's late founders.



White
Formerly Delmo's administrative staff they now serve as our clerical and
middle management personnel keeping the Institute running smoothly.  In
addition to regular duties they are also tasked with gathering all available
information on potential involuntary committals prior to acquisitions.

The Whites are overseen by Sprocket (Day Shift) & Mei Ling (Night Shift) who
recently approved the introduction of the S.E.A.T units as the standard
clerical workstation.




Gold
Delmo's elite agents they now function as members of our Acquisition Team
detailed to pick up involuntary committal cases.  Adaptable, versatile and
trained to handle the wide range of hardware the job requires they have an
enviable success record.  Would you like to learn more about them?

     There exists a definite friendly rivalry between our Security Department 
and the Orderlies (particularly the Jennies and the Delmos) and it's common 
to see the two groups exchange quips about their separate jobs.  It's also
common to for them to pull pranks on each other, so if you see a Jenny being
SJed and stuffed into an Utica Crib or a White Delmo being cuffed and tossed
into the trunk of a patrol car, please do not be alarmed.
     No, we don't try to stop it.  We believe that a little friendly 
interdepartmental rivalry helps keep staff morale high.  Also it helps keep
them on their toes and given the Institute's mission it's important for them
to stay to stay alert.  Besides there's nothing wrong with a few healthy 
pranks though I would ask the two Black Delmos behind you to stop creeping up 
with that posey straitjacket.
     You know the rules ladies, guests are off limits.  I'll be having a word 
with Peter about this.  Now, scat! 
     Sorry about the interruption.  They really should know better.  Hmmm, 
maybe they do and they want Peter to discipline them.  In which case I'd
better tell him to crank things up a notch so they get more than they 
bargained for.  But I'm sure I'm boring you with all this talk about our 
staff disciplinary procedures.  Unless you want to hear more about staff
pranks that concludes the tour of this area.
     Oops, I almost forgot about the Executive Assistants, mine and Grimbor's.
Let's start with his since he's had one longer, I'm still getting used to
mine.
     Awhile ago Grim ..., excuse me, Mr. Chainsman complained that between his
Institute duties, conferences with potential partner and funding bodies,
meetings with our current partners to keep them interested and involved with
the Institute and so on plus his more practical projects in the research ward
he was being swamped by his workload.  So we created a new post, "Executive
Assistant to the Chairman" to make his duties more manageable.  The person we
hired to fill the post has worked out very well and Mr Chainsman has often
said she's a godsend.
     Her name is Catherine Margrave.

     Would you like to know more about her?

     With that ringing endorsement having an Executive Assistant sounded like
a great idea to me.  So with the growth of my own duties in recent months I
recently hired one of my own and she's been a great help to me.
     Her name is Isabella Valentine but she prefers to be known as Ivy.

     Would you like to know more about her?


     Perhaps you'd care to meet our other support staff?  The remaining two
major Departments are the Computer & Technical Support Department and the
Security Department.  We also have smaller subgroups working in the Gym and
as Couriers under the auspices of our Senior Administrators.

Our medical staff agree we've got a great support staff to aid them.  Would
you like to meet the folks who rely on the support staff?

Perhaps you'd like a word with our Training Staff, they keep the Support Staff
up to date on our latest innovations

Perhaps you'd like to interview a member of our involuntary patient
acquisition team

Would you like to drop by the recreational lounge where we hold our
staff parties

Or would you rather hear the scoop on our advances in humane capture technology

Alternately some visitors have been fascinated by the specifics of our patient
restraint and control equipment

Others have wanted to hear all about our use of robotics

Then there are those who were more interested in the human interest angle of
our friendly staff rivalries

If you insist we could take a look at our underground high security storage facility

Of course you can always return to the Open Wards

Finally there's one more option.  The place most everyone wants to see.




Do you still want to see the Grimbor Ward? 
 

 
 

If you really want you can return to the Lobby
 

Or we can end the tour
