Beware the Rogue Flies!

Your cylindrical fruit fly monasteries and nunneries are under attack. Flies are escaping in vial transactions and the ranks of the free drosophilans are swelling. These dashing and beautiful Rogue Flies are threatening the chastity of virgin specimens everywhere. They are sneaking into single-sex cultures and tainting the pure bloodlines on which your experiments depend. Never leave your tubes unsealed while you choose pupae or your lack of vigilance may lead to disaster! The fruit fly clergy is infamous for its faithlessness, so do not expect your priests and nuns to exercise self-restraint. Only you, the Bishop(ette) of your lab tray parish can maintain righteousness in this horribly crude and corrupt laboratory that grows more so with every passing moment. The media scrap heaps on which the wicked drosophilan tramps subsist must be put to the torch, condemning these bearers of sin to starvation. Every crumb of media must be scraped from every surface in the laboratory to deprive the miscreants of their ill-gotten rations. Beware all! Beware!! The time of fruit fly sin is upon us and the bells toll mournfully in the dark and dew laced hours! Let the new days weep no more! Eliminate the baleful presence of the Rogue Flies who give allegiance to no human! Capture them alive and burn the most wretched of them at the toothpick before all of the cultures in your tray. Put the rest under The Inquisition until the truth is squeezed from their squirming squooshy bodies. Despite the evils of the lab, the crosses will be made in the virtuous fashion mandated by your instructor, the results recorded, and hopefully, you will get a good grade.
