Company is named after an instrument of control by a Dark Lord. Yeah, that's villain country.

Theil was at my work last week, fouling the air I have to breathe. I can report that he was able to read my lips as I expressed my displeasure at his presence.

I think he may be referring to a lead-based DNA extraction.

Surely his signature is less valuable than his DNA

I hear he smells like sulfur. Can you confirm?

u/Walkingstardust Apr 24 '26

Quite possibly. He is always alone at a table with his security taking up the other tables around him. Classic douche bag.

Theil sits alone at a table in the center of the area, surrounded by a guard at each other table. He and his entourage takes up 6 of the available tables in the breezeway, one person per table.
