Minute, Consult, Breeze


The facilities team at CERN, the largest facility in the world studying the most minute of particles, had a problem. Somehow, a rogue air pressure differential, otherwise known as a “breeze”, had swept through what was supposed to be an airtight chamber. The experiment that had been underway was ruined.

The operations manual was consulted. It advised a complete overhaul of several exhaust fans, work that would take several weeks due to the complexity of getting to those fans.

Dr. Brown, head of facilities, cursed softly. “Give me a minute to get ready before I have to face the press.”
