"Ah."

"We have a couple other contestants who are definitely going to need adjustment periods.  So you wouldn't be alone unless you wanted to be."

Permalink

"I see."

Permalink

"Do you have a preference about this?"

Permalink

"It seems like it might make sense to be more acquainted with this culture."

"I quite agree.  We'll probably put you on a third planetoid for the duration; any requests for what that's like?"

Permalink

"You haven't already decided?"

Permalink

"Well, no.  It's for the people who go on it and it's only just been determined that you should."

Permalink

"I don't know what the other people's needs may be."

Permalink

"Yes, we'll also be asking them."

Permalink

"I don't have complicated requirements."

Well, it would be rude to call him on the inconsistency. "Mm."

Permalink

"I didn't want it to be a surprise what may be recorded during the season, which is pretty much everything.  This is not a good organization but I don't want there to be surprises about what non-good things there are in store, when I can avoid it."

Why does he work for a non-good organization. Why do they let him call it that.
