lockpick, an SS4 in 24-618 (ESG) has a bad floppy drive (new style).
It is unable to read or eject floppies, and looks like it had a fight
with one.  I extracted a metal tab that use to cover the business end
of a floppy, but that was insufficient to save the drive.  Also,
please re-install the machine as soon as it has a working floppy
drive.  The machine is currently turned off since it will not be
usable until it has been re-installed.

If no one is around to let you in, you can call me or tlyu to get the
combo for the room.
