Well. I will have to know either way. [ Only good humor. ]

This afternoon, then.

[artistinexile]

A matter entirely separate from our proposal - or perhaps not - I would like to ask your help with a one-day experiment. It may embarrass our mutual acquaintance Richter.

[closeyourfist]

You have my attention, saer. Do go on.

[artistinexile]

Richter believes that the most efficient use of his bloated team of fifteen inmates is to go floor by floor, every day, scrubbing everything down. When I told him this was ill-advised, he dismissed me as attempting to militarize the ship.

I am reaching out to all of us on custodial now. We pick one day in the near future - just one day - wherein all of us take a single floor. No top-down work, with the more difficult levels 1 and 2 being assigned more than one person. If you like, you may take the least-trafficked floor.

He believes he knows the best way to conduct things but he misunderstands that we can accomplish the same goal in half the time and manpower.

Perhaps then half of us - the half that have been unwillingly drafted into it for fear of punishment rather than a genuine wish to serve - can be free to do as they like.

I'm not officially going to be expected to contribute for some time yet, but I would be happy to help prove a point, yes.

[artistinexile]

Thank you.

Then let us pick a date. Is five days' time enough?

[closeyourfist]

That sounds more than fair.

[artistinexile]

Good. I look forward to our brief partnership in this endeavor.

Warrior's fortune be with you.

[closeyourfist]

To you as well.
