Monte
Cook's Desk
Infiltration
Team Surveillance Report
Subject: Cook, Monte J. (#094305)
Upon
examining the subject's desk, I found it to be in great
disarray. Papers everywhere, as well as a number of books
on various subjects, including a dictionary, a reverse
dictionary, a thesaurus, a book on castles, and a number
of D&D books . Subject's computer appears to be on
continually.
The
subject has a number of music CDs of a diverse nature
-- ambient, classical, classic rock, progressive rock
(some obscure) and recent alternative music all present,
as well as a number of soundtracks. Also present are a
number of computer games, with one titled Freedom Force
most prominent. Subject has a number of photographs of
his wife on his desk as well. Clearly the subject has
a somewhat chaotic, jumbled mind. However, priorities
emerge: games, music, and the importance of his wife,
Sue (cf. Subject #094402).
Desk
also has some some origami miniature monsters, an R2-D2
Christmas tree ornament, a small octopus plush toy, an
Unexplained Phenomena page-a-day calendar, and a tin of
cinnamon Altoids on it as well. Two Diet Coke cans (one
empty, one partially empty) and a package of red-hots
are also present. On a bulletin board over the desk hang
a number of cards, as well as a list of family members'
addresses, a Cook family crest, some paintings showing
Seattle underwater, a D&D postcard, and bumper stickers
saying: "Bavarian Illuminati Local 23" and "Question
Authority." While these anti-authoritarian do not
indicate that the subject is necessarily dangerous, he
clearly needs to be watched. He might do something completely
unexpected, or worse -- he might be tempted to exercise
independent thought.
