Since nobody's mentioned this yet I feel I should point this out:
Hal, you don't actually need a scientist ID to operate that button. Anyone can press it. That seems like a simple thing to assume incorrectly, like if you've never had reason to use such buttons outside of having the job relating to them. But yeah, you could have just pressed that button yourself. But it seems very clear that you weren't actually aware of that, and that seems to have been a big part of how this spiraled so far out of control in the first place.
