Every floor had become occupied in the years since opening, and there was simply nowhere for the facility to grow. One obvious option was to eliminate the floor housing the more established scientist’s favorite candy bars, but this solution was voted down in a landslide. Martin Kane called a meeting with the most trusted members of his staff: a large teddy bear named Wallace and a full-length mirror.
