Employee Orientation

(Written by Secretshaver, Edited by Jim)

I stood in front of the mirror with my off-the-rack suit jacket and matching green gingham skirt trying to convince myself that I was ready for my first adult job. At 24 I still looked youthful, but graduate school had taken its toll on my sleep schedule and deposited a few bags under my eyes. Not knowing what to do with my waist length brown hair, I quickly tied it up into a tight bun to look as professional as possible. I felt like I looked enough like a chemist, no matter what my impostor syndrome was saying. The thing that worried me most, was that my first step into the professional world was with a cosmetics company, and I feared that they might have a higher standard of “keeping up ones appearances” than I was accustomed to.

“Do I look fat?” I asked, peering through the mirror to my roommate. “I think the jacket is fitting too tight.”

“You’re not fat, Natalie.” She smirked back while patting her stomach. “No more than I am.”

Kendra was stunning with her ebony skin and curly black hair cut to chin length. She wasn’t what anyone would call skinny; rather, she didn’t hide the fact that she had curves.

“What about my forehead?” I asked as I furrowed my brow. “I have a big forehead. Big forehead people never seem to do well Kendra.”

“Bruce Willis did just fine for himself.” Kendra said as she placed her hands on my shoulders. “Despite his forehead. Stop worrying, before you end up passing off some of that anxiety onto me.”

“I’m sorry.” I said touching my hand to hers. “I just want to do well.”

“And you will.” She said as she straitened my blazer. “You’re an amazing chemist! Now go out there and rock the office!”

“Thanks babe,” I said, turning to her with a smile. “We still on for drinks after my first day?”

“It’s a date.” Kendra replied. “See you later. Now get going before you miss your train.”

“I’ll be fine,” I reassured her. Kendra worked remotely for an insurance company so she didn’t have to leave the apartment to do her job, while I preferred public transportation – our little life hacks to reduce the burden of rising gas prices.

I hoisted my shoulder bag up and headed out the door towards my destiny at Calva Cosmetics. The subway ride was peaceful: the rhythmic sounds of the wheels on the rails always help me clear my mind. From the station, it was only a 5-minute walk to the large complex where I’d be spending much of my time. Other than my interview, I hadn’t had a chance to see many of the facilities. Walking through the front door made me feel like I was home. The entry way was huge and inviting with modern decor and seating. A well-built blonde man in his 30s wearing a light grey security outfit sat behind the desk.

“Hi.” I said softly to the receptionist-slash-guard. “Natalie Sterling. I’m here for my orientation.”

“Nice to meet you, Miss Sterling,” he politely greeted me. “Name’s Ryan. I’ll let Dr. Patel know you’re here. Why not have a seat while you wait?”

“Thank you.” I said as I walked to the large white sofas. There were a few chemical and cosmetic industry magazines spread out on a table, so I paged through one while Ryan made his call. I couldn’t really make out what he was saying, but the conversation didn’t last long.

“She’ll be out to see you soon,” he informed me. “By the way, your hair looks great.”

“Thank you.” I appreciated the compliment, but couldn’t help notice a bit of a mischievous look on his face when he said it.

Before long, a tall, mocha skinned woman of Indian descent entered the lobby and came over to where I was sitting. She looked to be in her late 30s or early 40s, wearing a stylish sky-blue pantsuit under her pristine lab coat, and was radiating an aura of confidence. Most striking about her appearance, though, was that she was completely bald. Not just on her scalp; her eyebrows were penciled on and it didn’t look like she had any eyelashes either. While it caught me off guard on first sight, I was able to regain my composure quickly. I definitely didn’t want to make a bad first impression with my new boss.

“Good morning, Natalie, I’m Dr. Mira Patel.” I picked up on a slight hint of a British accent from her introduction. She extended her hand and I stood up to shake it. “You can just call me Mira, though. I’m not big on formalities.” She flashed me a smile, showing her radiant teeth.

“Nice to meet you, Mira,” I said, my eyes glancing slightly upward to notice the shine on her scalp. I scolded myself internally, but I wasn’t trying to be rude. There was something alluring about her baldness. Thankfully she didn’t seem to notice, or she didn’t care that I was staring. “Thank you again for bringing me on.”

“My dear girl, you’re exactly what we need at Calva.” Her tone was very warm and reassuring. “I know you’re going to accomplish great things here. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me give you a quick tour of our facilities.”

I gathered my bag and followed Mira through the security door to the lab area. She was doing a fantastic job as a tour guide, but I could not focus at all on what she was saying, as I stared at the back of her perfectly smooth head. She was so confident in her baldness, that she radiated beauty.

Dr. Patel first led me to a room on the second floor. “This is our compounding lab for our bath and body products, primarily body washes and lotions.” Entering the room I saw a wide space with massive tanks along the back wall for making large batches, while the rest of the facilities were taken up by work stations with computers and other lab equipment. I picked up on some indie music coming from a set of speakers near one of the computers. Three people were currently there, two women and one men. To my surprise the male scientist the only one wearing a hair net over his short black hair and a similar guard over his goatee to prevent possible contamination of the product samples. The other women didn’t need it – they were as bald as Dr. Patel. “And this is the team that keeps everything running smoothly here, pardon the pun: Brianna Grey, James Estevez, and Julie Chen. Everyone, this is Natalie Sterling, our newest hire.”

“Nice to meet you Natalie,” the hairless Asian woman entering data looked up to address me. Obviously that was Julie. “We hope you like it here.”

“We could definitely use the extra hands,” Brianna added. I took note that her baldness accentuated her freckles and made her look quite attractive. “Business is picking up and we’re falling behind hard.”

“Just means more opportunities for overtime,” James commented with a slight chuckle.

Dr. Patel sighed. “Please everyone, we don’t want to scare her off on her first day. Let’s just fill her in on our operations here.”

“Right, sorry,” Brianna said. “Okay Natalie, let’s give you the rundown. By the way, love your hair.” She gave me a sly wink and ran a gloved hand over her slick scalp.

“Thank you,” I answered, a bit caught off guard. “I love your, uh, scalp. It’s got a nice shine to it.” Why did you say that you idiot? I scolded myself.  Everyone laughed, not in a way that made me feel embarrassed at the awkwardness of the situation, but more like there was some inside joke I was unaware of. Brianna said she appreciated the compliment.

The trio went over the basics of their work: making sample batches, testing them to make sure they met customer requests, and then formulating larger amounts in the tanks once they got the desired results. It was simple enough to follow, though I did get distracted at several points. I just couldn’t stop myself from looking at the bald heads of the three women there with me. It was rare enough to encounter one in my normal daily routine, and even then it was usually a short buzz. But to find three women who’d shaved their heads smooth to the skin all working in the same building seemed to defy the odds. Thankfully they didn’t seem to find it rude; maybe they liked the attention.

After that stop I was shown several of the other labs where they worked on lipstick and gloss, mascara and eyeshadow, and skin care. They didn’t make any hair care products, which seemed fitting the longer I was there. Every single woman I encountered during the tour was completely bald, and I was racking my brain trying to figure out why. I thought maybe someone at the lab had cancer and everyone else had shaved their heads out of solidarity, but had to reject that idea when I recalled that all the male employees still had their hair.

Once the tour was over Mira took me into her office. “Well now that you’ve seen what we do I’d like your input; do you have any preferences in which division you want to work?”

“I like the atmosphere in the bath and body lab. Everyone there seems pretty friendly, and they have good taste in music.” At least whoever picked the radio station today did, I thought. Hopefully none of them were country fans or those would make for some annoying days. “But I’ll work wherever you think I’d be best suited.”

Mira smiled at me again. “I admire your flexibility. But I agree that you’ll be an excellent fit there. I believe that’s all for now. Your official training will start tomorrow. But before that…” she grabbed a small wicker basket from her desk and gave it to me, “just a small welcome package. A gift for all our new hires.”

“Thank you so much, Dr. Patel,” I said “This is all too much.”

“Think nothing of it, my dear. We want everyone here to be happy.”

I gave the contents of the basket a quick scan. It was filled with different Calva products: mascara, lipstick, exfoliating lotion, foundation and moisturizers. Almost all the makeup I used in a year packed into one basket. There was one item that stuck out though – a capped plastic bottle filled with a blue liquid. “What’s this?” I asked.

“We’re branching out into drinkable beauty products. It’s your decision whether or not to use it, but I can assure you from personal experience it will leave you feeling renewed and invigorated. I can promise you’ll feel like a new person.” She flashed me a cryptic smile while running her fingers over her scalp. “But I don’t want to spoil the surprise. It’s getting late and I’m sure you’d like to get home to prepare for tomorrow. Have a wonderful evening, Natalie.”

“Thank you, you have a great night too. See you tomorrow.”

I spent most of the train ride home lost in thought, my mind divided between the anticipation of what tomorrow would bring as well as confusion over the more mysterious aspects of the job. Why was every woman at Calva bald, and why was Dr. Patel being so coy about the liquid in the bottle? When I entered the apartment, I was completely caught off guard by Kendra and my boyfriend Conner standing in the doorway.

“Congratulations!” They yelled in tandem.

“We wanted to do a little something to celebrate your big new career,” Conner told me. “Hope you don’t mind the surprise.”

“Oh my gosh guys!” I wrapped my arms around the both of them. “Thank you!”

Entering the apartment I saw a pizza and my favorite beer on the dining room table table, my favorite beer, and Netflix queued up on the TV with some 80s comedies ready to play. They really knew me well.

Before we could have our mini-party I went into my room to slip into some more casual clothes. When I put my shoulder bag on the bed, the bottle of blue liquid rolled out onto the covers. I stared at it laying there while I pulled my jeans on. I would definitely try it later, but I wasn’t quite sure when. “Sorry for the holdup,” I called out as I finished changed and left my room. “Let’s eat.”

Even though my day hadn’t been stressful, our little get together was unbelievably relaxing. The movies were as cheesy as the pizza, and during the down moments I got a chance to spill the details about work at Calva, what little I knew from just one day. Unsurprisingly, Kendra and Conner were both surprised when I told them I was the only woman working there with a full head of hair. “Well, you’re definitely gonna stand out, babe,” Conner told me. “If you ever decide to try the look yourself, my uncle is a barber and he’ll do a good job.”

“I don’t think I’m interested in an extreme makeover yet,” I chuckled back. “But thanks for the offer.” Looking back now, I can’t help but find that moment amusingly ironic.

“Just be careful the place isn’t actually a front for some cult,” Kendra joined in. “I’m pretty sure if you sacrifice any goats here it’ll ruin our security deposit.”

After finishing The Breakfast Club we had time for one more movie before we’d need to get ready for work tomorrow. I told Kendra to pick it while I used the bathroom. On my way I stopped back in my room and grabbed the bottle, carrying it in without their noticing. Sitting down on the toilet I unscrewed the cap and was greeted with a pleasant berry scent. Whatever this did, they knew how to make it appealing. I poured about half of it into a plastic cup I kept on the sink before capping it up again.

Moment of truth time, I thought as I raised the glass to my mouth and took in a gulp. I let the liquid rest on my tongue for a few seconds, swishing it around before swallowing. It tasted like a mix of fresh berries with a mild astringency that added complexity. I was surprised it tasted so refreshing even at room temperature. Doctor Patel’s pet project definitely passed the taste test. Soon I’d drank the entire cup. Very refreshing, but I still wondered what it was supposed to do. I’d find the answer sooner than I expected.

Almost immediately after finishing off the drink I felt a warm sensation wash over my body. It wasn’t uncomfortable, but very strange; my head was practically swimming. It seemed most noticeable around my scalp. I quickly checked my reflection in the mirror. While I didn’t look any different, I definitely felt happier, almost euphoric. I left the bathroom and returned to the couch.

“Did you decide what to watch?” I asked Conner as I snuggled up with him.

“We were thinking either Caddyshack or Clue, whichever you’re more in the mood for,” he said.

“Surprise me,” I told him, falling into his arms as we cuddled. Conner was the most handsome man I had ever met. Trim and fit, with well groomed brown hair, a patchy goatee that always tickled when we kissed, and glasses that brought out his beautiful hazel eyes. Add to that he was smart, kind, clever, and a great lover, and I knew I was lucky to find him.

As Caddyshack started playing he began running his fingers along the back of my head.

He knew I loved a good scalp massage. After a few moments, though, the petting stopped.

“Hey Nat, I think something’s wrong,” Conner sounded concerned. He urged me to to sit up as he held out his hand for me to inspect. “Look.”

Resting in his palm was a clump of what looked like hair. My hair. Trying to keep myself from panicking, I snatched it out of his hand and ran into the bathroom. In the mirror, I could see that my forehead looked larger than before. Glancing over my shoulder I saw some more hair had fallen off during my run, now lying on the bathroom floor. With both hands, I ran my fingers from my forehead to my crown, wondering just how much further this would go. To my surprise, my hair peeled away like it was nothing.

I found myself grasping and tugging away at the hair that remained on my scalp, watching it easily shed away piece by piece. Before long, I was rendered completely bald. I noticed that my eyelashes and brows had fallen out as well. Before I could even register what happened I felt an itching sensation around my pussy. I ripped off my pants and discovered that my public hair was gone as well, most of it resting in my panties or. Instead of freaking out over this freak hair loss, I found myself eagerly wiping away any remaining strands. Within moments I was completely bald; hairless from head to toe. My head gleamed in the light of the late afternoon sun. I looked exotic, and I felt beautiful.

This has to be the result of that drink I got from the lab, I realized. It also explained why every other woman who worked there was bald – they’d tried it out themselves. My scientific curiosity was piqued. Tomorrow I would have to ask Dr. Patel what was in it and how it was able to work so quickly

As I resumed admiring my new appearance in the mirror, I felt a tingling sensation in my mouth. I opened wide to discover the cause. Everything looked normal except for one of my upper incisors. It appeared loose. Without thinking, I pushed on it and it slipped free from my gums, landing in the sink basin. The tingling intensified as I pressed my tongue through the newly formed gap. The surrounding teeth were loose as well and easily fell out with minimal pressure. Almost acting on autopilot, I found myself reaching in and plucking out every remaining tooth. Eventually I’d extracted the last of my molars, letting it fall into the sink.

I stood there in the mirror looking at a completely different woman. The lack of any hair on my body gave me an almost alien appearance, and my scalp looked pale compared to the rest of my skin tone. My mouth had drastically changed as well. Without teeth my cheeks were sunken and my lips curled in towards my mouth, leaving some wrinkles. I looked older, bizarre, but for some reason I was happy with my new look. I actually found myself feeling sexier than ever, aroused by my appearance. Giving into further impulse I took off my shirt and bra to admire my hairless body completely in the nude. I smiled a wide, toothless grin into the mirror, noticing that my gums appeared perfectly pink and smooth, as though there had never been any teeth to begin with.

A knocking sound snapped me out of my trance. I slowly made my way to the door and cracked the door, seeing Conner on the other side with a nervous look on his face. “Natalie, are you okay?” He sounded incredibly worried. “You’ve been in there for a while.”

I inhaled deeply, bracing for how he’d react. No way I could keep this a secret forever – might as well get it over with now. “Yeah, I’m fine. You can come in.”

Conner pushed the door open and came in. As soon as he saw me, he stood frozen in shock. “Natalie… what… what happened?” he asked softly, clearly still trying to process everything.

I chuckled nervously, probably blushing as I moved my arms to cover up my bare breasts and pussy. He’d seen me naked before, but never to this degree “My bothh gave me a drink to take home,” I awkwardly explained. It was difficult to speak clearly, as without teeth I was now lisping and my words were mildly slurred. “Ah had thome of it an’, well, thith ith whah happened.” He remained silent, not moving or saying anything. I grew more nervous. “Tho… whah do you think?”

At that moment I was prepared for him to rush out of the apartment and never come back, never wanting to see the bald, toothless freak that was his girlfriend again. Instead he came in close and gently moved my arms away. “Well, it’s definitely an extreme change,” he was hesitant, clearly trying to find the right words to say. “But I think you pull it off well.” A smile returned to his face, and to mine as well. “This is gonna sound crazy but I always thought you were the kind of woman who could pull off a shaved head. Looks like you proved me right.”

“Whah about my teeth?”

He stuck a finger in my mouth and ran it across my gums, slowly and sensually. “It’ll take some getting used to, but I don’t really mind.”

My fears washed away with a refreshing sense of relief. “Tho you don’t think ah’m ugly?”

“Natalie, babe – no matter how you look, you’ll always be the most beautiful woman alive.”

I could feel myself starting to cry happily, but didn’t bother trying to hold back the tears. I just leaned in and passionately kissed Conner, thankful to have such a wonderful, understanding man in my life. I allowed his tongue to explore my toothless mouth as he played with my scalp. It felt so much better now without that hair in the way. As we continued to embrace, I could feel a growing presence in his pants. I was still aroused from checking myself out, so I decided it was time to release all that pent up sexual energy. I got down onto my knees and unzipped his pants, welcomed by his throbbing cock. “Gueth you really are into bald girlth,” I mischievously said. Eager to go along, Conner guided my head towards his crotch, as my mouth wrapped around his welcoming penis.

My gums still felt a little tender after my teeth fell out, so having something hard to suck on was quite pleasurable. It felt good rubbing them along his shaft as slid it in and out of my mouth. He kept rubbing my scalp, turning me on like I never before. We kept up our game as long as possible, him using his hands, me using my gums and tongue, but eventually it had to end. After a few minutes he pulled his cock from my mouth and exploded all over my scalp. I felt his warm semen dripping down the sides of my head, and couldn’t help but smile.

“Well that was… unexpected,” a very grateful Conner commented. “Not that I’m complaining.”

I wasn’t exactly sure how to answer. “Thorry if it wath weird, buh ah’m glad you liked it. Ah don’t know whah came over me.”

“Pretty sure I did,” he joked, tapping on my skull with the tip of his cock to drive the point home.

“Ha ha,” I sarcastically responded. I licked his shaft clean before getting up to grab a washcloth from the linen closet. Soaping it up I started to wash his cum off my scalp. While I did that, Conner grabbed several chunks of hair from the floor and took them over to the wastebasket. As he dropped them in, he spotted the bottle next to the cup

“This is what you drank?” He asked, pointing to the half-full container.

I nodded. “Ah think ah’ll hold on to it. Thomething to remember today by.”

I put my clothes back on and grabbed the bottle before we left. Kendra had been watching the door from the couch, obviously curious as to why we’d been in there so long. As soon as she saw me her eyes almost bulged out of her head.

“Oh my god Natalie! Your hair!” She shrieked as I looked back and gave her a toothless grin. “Your teeth! What the hell were you two doing in there?!”

“It wasn’t me!” Conner raised his hands defensively.

“Relath, Kendra,” I spoke up. “Ah did thith to mathelf.” I shook the bottle around in my hand.

Kendra got up from the couch and slinked over to me. As soon as she was close she ran her hand across my bare scalp. “Girl.” She said with a warm smile. “You have some explaining to do.”

After placing the bottle in the fridge we all returned to the couch where I went through a full explanation of what had happened that day. Like Conner, Kendra was very understanding and accepted it easier than I thought she would. Neither of them cared how I looked, only that I was happy. With everything resolved we finally got back to the movie, though I couldn’t help but notice Kendra occasionally looking at me with a curious expression. Once it was over, Conner left so we could all get ready for work tomorrow. It was hard for me to get to sleep, though, as I still felt horny. Lying in my bed naked I rubbed my hairless pussy and head vigorously until I climaxed. In a post-orgasmic bliss I was finally able to sleep.

As soon as I woke up the next morning I instantly touched my head. Nothing there but bare skin. A quick run of my tongue along my gums was further proof that yesterday hadn’t been a dream. Well, I thought, let’s see how my first day as a bald woman goes. My morning routine in the bathroom took so much less time than usual since I didn’t need to worry about washing my hair or shaving my legs. After getting out and putting my pajamas back on I noticed the wastebasket looked fuller than yesterday. My hair was still in there, but there was also some thicker black hair. “No way,” I whispered. Did she really do it?

Leaving the bathroom and was greeted with a wonderful smell from the kitchen. Heading over I spotted Kendra standing by the stovetop, completely bald. Her face had sunken in slightly just like mine, indicating that her teeth were gone as well.

“Looking good, girl,” I said with a smirk. “Gueth you had to try the drink for yourthelf.”

“Ah wath curiouth.” She lisped back, flashing a gummy grin. “Ah hope you don’t mind.”

“You look great without hair. Ah mean it.”

“Tho do you, girl.” She pulled two pans with scrambled eggs and pancakes off the stove. “Figured ah’d make thomething eathy for uth to eat until we get dentureth.”

It was good thinking on her part. Even without the need to chew, trying to gum our food was a little challenging. But the extra time we had at the table just gave us more opportunities to bond over how sexy we both looked. I never considered myself attracted to women before, but Kendra really was a knockout, and the looks she was giving me suggested she felt the same way. Once we’d finished eating I took a selfie of us with our heads together, smiling wide to show off our bare gums. I sent the picture to Conner with a message reading “Come by again tonight if you want even more fun.” I could only imagine how he’d react when he saw this.

After breakfast I got into my business attire and applied makeup, penciling some eyebrows on. I tried to use foundation on the wrinkles around my mouth but was unable to effectively conceal them. So I’d have to grab a few extra accessories – a  baseball cap Conner had left at our place to cover my head, and a face mask I used when I was sick. Not that I felt ashamed of my look, but I didn’t want people gawking at me on the way to work. With everything ready I was out the door. I couldn’t help but wonder how Kendra would explain her lisp to the customers calling her today.

Throughout my ride to the lab I was distracted by thoughts of the fun I’d be having with Conner and Kendra later that night. A few people stared, probably noticing the patch of bare scalp peeking out from the hole in the back of the cap or my far-away expression, but I ignored them. Upon entering the lab, Ryan the guard gave me a knowing smile. “Miss Sterling, I think you should know that headwear is prohibited inside the lab.” There was a playfulness to his reminder.

“Ah’m having a bad hair day,” I chuckled, smiling in a way that just barely showed off my gums.

“Oh, I doubt you’ll ever have a bad hair day again. One of the perks for the women who work here. Anyway, Dr. Patel said that she wanted to see you when you got in. I wouldn’t keep her waiting.”

I made my way to Dr. Patel’s office where she was sitting behind her desk, looking at something on her monitor. She looked away as I entered, smirking as she noticed what I was wearing. “Ah, Miss Sterling. I see you enjoyed the sample I provided you with yesterday.”

I nodded. “It wath life-changing,” I told her. Feeling comfortable around her, I removed the cap and mask, showing her my true self. Her smile only grew.

“Excellent. I had a feeling you’d be pleased with the results.” She reached into her mouth and pulled out her dentures, resting the two plates on the desk. She looked about 20 years older without her teeth, but it made her appear more dignified.  “There; now we’re on equal footing. On that note, check your email later. I’ll provide you with the contact information for a dentist’s office we have under contract. They can get you fitted for a pair of dentures, fully covered by the lab, of course.”

“Thankth,” I said. “My roommate ith gonna need a pair, too.”

“Oh, you had a friend join you in your transformation?” she chuckled lightly. “That’s wonderful. Of course we can provide for her. Just give her the information and have her schedule an appointment.” She got up from her chair and moved over to me, as though she was analyzing me. She placed a hand on my scalp, lightly rubbing it. It sent shivers throughout my body. “Not a single hair remaining. Perfect. How else did you feel after the chemical took effect? Any increased erotic stimulation?” There was a knowing tone to her question, as though she could already predict what I was going to say.

“Yeth…” I said with a mild shudder. “Mah boyfriend wath over when it happened, and, well… we had some fun.”

“That’s to be expected. Every woman who’s taken it has reported an enhanced libido. Just let me know if the sexual desires become too dominant; that can be treated with medication.”

I was surprised by how openly I was discussing this, but thankful that Mira was so understanding. Maybe she could answer some more questions. “Ahm guething all the women here drank that, too.”

“Indeed,” she confirmed. “Think of it as a little initiation ritual. The compound doesn’t work on men, but they all enjoy seeing us show of our domes all day.”

“Ith it permanent?” I asked, already sure of how she’d answer

“It is. Your hair will never grow back. I’ve been completely hairless for twelve years now. That doesn’t upset you, does it?”

“Not really,” I replied. “It wath a little weird at firth, but Ah’ve gotten comfortable with it. Ah’m fine being bald and toothleth for the reth of mah life.” Dr. Patel couldn’t have looked happier with my response. “Ah have to athk, though – why are we making thith thuff? Whath it for?”

Dr. Patel took on a slightly more serious expression. “I can’t share too much with you yet as you are still a new employee. All I can say is that our founder has a vision to change feminine beauty standards. It’s drastic, but I and everyone else here believe in their vision, and will do all we can to make that a reality.” She looked me squarely in the eyes. “Can I count on your assistance?”

I didn’t even need to think it over. “Yeth. Ah’ll help you in any way ah can.”

“Wonderful.” Beaming with pride, she hugged me. “Welcome to the team.”
