[Handwritten Notes] [Translated]

Drums arrived intact. No visible leaks, no split seams, seals still marked. Whoever loaded them did not ruin the batch.

Do not keep the drums exposed in the main room. Too many men walking past, too much dust, too much noise. Move only what is needed for filling. Keep the rest covered and away from the tools.

Tunnel air is still poor. Generator fumes are collecting near the back wall. Vent fan is not enough when both doors are shut. Workers are complaining again. Ignore them unless they start coughing blood or collapse.

First transfer into civilian gas bottles was successful. Stove bottles are better than the drums for movement. Easier to hide, easier to load, easier to explain if stopped. Paint damage and old labels help. Nobody looks twice at cooking gas.

Do not overfill. Leave space. Mark the real bottles under the base ring, not on the side. Anyone writing names or symbols on them gets removed from the room.

Keep empty bottles mixed with real ones until Rahmani confirms the route. Drivers do not need to know which are which. Guards do not need to know either.

Sarin batch appears stable enough for movement, but not for storage here. The tunnel is too wet, too hot in the generator room, too exposed if the British find the entrance. We are not keeping it underground longer than necessary.

Al-Masri wants more time and more men. He can argue with Abu Sabr, not me. My work is the material. His work was the convoy, and now everyone is paying for it.

Final load waits on Rahmani. Once he confirms the road is clean, move the bottles out with normal fuel and cooking supplies. No flags. No escort unless ordered. Quiet vehicles only.

If any bottle leaks, do not recover it. Bury it, mark the place separately, and leave.
