1141 - SCALE

Geoffrey (see yesterday's yarn 1140 - FLAKE) had enjoyed opening the LAyErs of the samples he'd brought back, finding several small fossils. But he had to write his report for the exploration company regarding the commercial value of the find. This is the part of his job he least liked. He wasn't fond of the idea of the setting he'd visited being invaded by vehicles, machinery and pipelines. He looked up at his poster of a giant eland for inspiration. Turning back to his computer he started typing a mealy-mouthed report listing as many disadvantages as well as advantages of the shale find in the hope they would notice the disadvantages and scale back their ambitions for the site.
