Hey! Are you the one who was recently promoted to this floor? Er...

Phew! Good. I don't understand any of this science mumbo jumbo!

And how do things work here?

I love men who are so specific! Unfortunately, I have to go. I’m sure you’ll figure it out without me!

See you around!

Oh, no doubt, Evan! A sweetie like you deserves some attention...

What, no one said anything?

No. I’ve never heard of anyone getting their instructions before transferring to a new position.

Damn it... Well... We have clones here.

Yeah, I got that.

Okay... And you need to upload all kinds of rubbish into them, fine-tune them... Basically, make sure they aren’t complete idiots and that they’re capable of doing their jobs.

That's all?

Let that sink in! Well, here's your workplace. I think you're smart enough to figure out what's what.

Aren't you going to help me?

I've arranged to have a Borean manicure from the cleaning lady on Floor 17. Do you think your clones are more interesting than that?

Tough question!

Isn’t it just! I'm going to Floor 17. I'll think about that question. And you get down to work.

I finished the first task!

Aren’t you a smart one! Keep on working like that and you'll get paid!

So what's next?

Oh well... You can do more work, if you want more money... To be honest, I haven't thought about what’s next.

Amelia, have you undergone personality testing?

That thing Weinberg makes everyone do?

Yes. I’ve been sent to do it. I don't know how to prepare for it.

You know, it's so dumb! I was asked what the most expensive thing in the world was. I said it was Lust perfume by the Third Perfume Factory. And it was wrong - imagine that!

Yes, I met one person who had some interesting things to say - perhaps it might suit you. The organization is called The Word of the Leader. They promote personal development through unconditional adherence to the word of our Leader.

Sounds interesting, but are you sure?

Amelia, I found one very interesting option! A man came to my house with a leaflet about some personal development courses. He was very well-dressed and seemed trustworthy - I think that’s the way to go.

Sounds interesting, but are you sure?

Let's talk later, I'm busy right now.

What do you think about our colleagues?

Promise not to tell anyone?

I swear.

I worry that everyone here might be crazy!

Why?

All this science has left them with a few screws loose. Recently I came into work in a low-cut dress, and no one noticed!

How did you get into the Ministry?

I have to work somewhere! Though I’m not sure why... I got on just fine without it.

And how did you get here?

Daddy helped me when I graduated from the institute. He said this was a cushy job and I could handle it.

And?

It’s only been a month. It is cushy.

But you're managing to cope, right?

Well, I'm not stupid!

Do you already have your eye on a someone?

Why, are you married?

Err…

Yeah, relax, you're not my type. It’s just... Everyone here is so smart! Bah!

And I'm not one of them?

Don't be offended, sweetheart! I just feel like I’m the stupidest person here, and that isn't right! It’s not my fault that our professors gave out grades without us having to take the exams!

Yeah - you could take some courses, meet new people, make connections, and succeed!

Alright! Thank you. If you see any notices about courses, let me know, okay?

I'm not sure, I need to think.
