Episode #28: Snot and Polish (8/14/00) Concerned about Arat's unhealthy and -- perhaps more importantly -- less than Gen-macho appearance, Mr. Birch and Sayward go to confront him about it. Cris tries ineffectually to stop them. Mr. Birch implies that Arat will not be allowed to operate freely as Controller if his appearance does not meet the approval of the Gen military.

They agree that security should be heightened around the cliffs when the Gens are working there, but don't want to hire SWAT renSimes to do it.
