"Boss, I went to pick up the order numbers in your office, and the thing is sleeping in there."

"Yeah, letting it sleep there for now."

"Why? It smells like it rolled around in gron water. It's going to stink up the place."

"It's fine, tomorrow I'm shoving it in the auto washer."

"Great, it'll start smelling like a new ship. You going to show it to Bherer in tomorrow's meeting?"

"Oh for the love of Hala, I forgot Bherer's paranoia. Yeah, will have to show it to him. Do me a favor and order a uniform. Small. Or tiny, whatever the rodent's size is. Easier to convince Bherer if it's wearing clothes."

"...really?"

"Yeah, really. Guy believes anything not wearing clothes are animals. It's a whole thing with him. Easier to just get the uniform than trying to convince him the plan doesn't hinge on training a giant rodent how to rewire a power grid."

"That is insane."

"Bherer's insane, but we need his backing to grease the right palms."

"No, I'm talking about the whole thing about the rodent rewiring a power grid."

"Yeah, among all the other things we need it to do. That reminds me, can you also order the smallest toolpack available? Easier if the rodent wear that than carrying crap around in a bag."

"Sure boss."
