[Alex Conway]

I'm working in a government facility and this is day three of me working
here, so I don't have the rules-compliant hardware to do the file transfer
or I would have done so already. Basically have to wait for my mentor to
not be neck deep in his definitely more important work or not be gone
somewhere to use his hardware.
