I'm sorry, but there is no form called "Workplace Transfer Request Form" anywhere on the site database.

What's your motive? Do you know how few nuclear physics researchers are there at Site-14K? Twenty, that's all. That's the maximum number of people we could recruit from the entire paranormal society in Korea. If one goes away, everyone else is affected. I don't know what happened to you, but please reconsider your decision for everyone else, especially your coworkers.

Then how much consideration are you showing to everyone else, director?

There was a "small problem" at the Nuclear Physics Department Lab 3. As you know, there is an utter lack of researchers at that department. So, the department launched a joint "field work and training programme" with several universities that had links to the foundation. A couple of days ago, some physics students visited the Foundation from a proxy organisation, ██ University.
Everything else went as planned. Showing a well-sealed plutonium sample, or experimenting with a nuclear fission model, those sorts of things. But something happened during the neutron experiment.
It wasn't in the plan to use the machine like we did. We, the researchers and students, were supposed to see an incomplete neutron reaction from far away. Of course, we were well shielded with lead and carbohydrates, and the machine was supposed to shut down before it reached critical mass.
But for some reason, it didn't. The neutron reaction kept going, and the mass went over the critical mass. If that continued, the chain nuclear reaction would have acted as a small fission chamber until it ultimately exploded. Just as I noticed it, I shouted at the students to fall back, and rushed into the sealed chamber and shot the neutron reflector with my pistol.
That was the end of it.
I got my test results yesterday. Burns, skin rashes, leukaemia, myelodysplastic syndrome… The list goes on. The gamma and neutron rays mangled my body beyond repair.
I think I should retire earlier than I expected.
When I was 19 years old, when I applied to ██ University, I applied for a course in physics and astronomy. I found astrophysics fun. I wish to look at constellations when I retire.
So I searched for Astronomy Departments on other sites. Turns out, there was one in Site-57K. I had never heard of it. I never went to Gyeongsang-do, nor have I went to Yeongyang: I only barely heard of it.
But, I'm going to bury my bones in there.

Your transfer request has been approved.
May this accident never happen again.
