What do you have to lose except for time? We can answer to the best of our ability and tell you if it's information we can't provide.

This is very tricky... I cannot advise you, Mister Enda. The truth is yours to share and wield. I do think stepping up to handle complex matters could change how others see you. It'd take time and proper pacing, but it's a method that usually works.

[solesuccess]

in that case:
1.) how long has nut & bolt been a company?
2.) do you guys remember how you got here?
3.) what about the winter tour made you decide to do the spring tour?
4.) were you aiming for a promotion in the first place or did it just happen?
5.) are there any other ventures nut & bolt is looking into besides what was on that orientation slide?

probably more, let's start with those
...usually, sure
it's not something i really tell people because they then usually ask what happened and why
and i don't like talking about it
but depending on how these next eight weeks go...
which also. what the hell is happening?

[ WHY ARE SHARING THINGS HAPPENING. ]

[dropoffs]

[ the answers to those first 5 questions are coming!!! but, in the meantime... ]

If it is something you don't like talking about, you need not force yourself... Though, I understand how that could become a problem when one has to deal with everything else piling on top of it.

What is... Ah, you are referring to these recent side effects?

[dropoffs]

1) They have been a company for ███ years.
2) We were recruited by Nut & Bolt and went through the same process of being given a contract to read through, then sign if it's favorable.
3) For myself, I am looking for someone and still have not found them, so I have signed up for a second round. I'm considering a short break after this tour ends. Everyone else has their own reasons.
4) For myself, my predecessor decided to retire. I wasn't seeking it.
5) Nut & Bolt is considering dabbling in communication technologies, last I heard. There's also the acquisition of Q Task Management System, but they're comparing competitors.

Others can chime in if they are comfortable with sharing their experiences.

[ The blocks are real numbers. I'm just lazy. ]

[solesuccess]

[ valid. ]

if you guys do take a break do you just...stay on the eudora until the tour after next? or can you go back to where you came from?
are tours always eight weeks?
i'll consider the rest satisfactory for now, thanks
and thanks for the toolkit by the way

[ looping back to what metis said... ]

it's complicated
most people at home don't know either
but yes, those
why. just. why.

[dropoffs]

We have the choice to go home for the interim, but the offer for a new contract is about two years before it's rescinded. Tours are not all eight weeks. There are some that are four, even as short as two. Of course, Mister Enda. I'm glad to hear your toolkit is satisfactory.

Hm... I have noticed a strange flow of things today.

[ HUH!!! ]

[solesuccess]

weird to know they aren't all the same length
"strange" is very much an understatement
has this even happened before?
or anything like this?

[dropoffs]

I had read that "cruises" operate at different durations, but I do not believe it is the same as a delivery service.

During the last tour, there have been disturbances and from what I was told it is due to cosmic interference during travel. Cosmoelectromagnetic waves can affect our minds, sometimes our bodies. It's mitigated to some degree within the Eudora and on planets, but we cannot guarantee it would be manageable outside in actual space. The void, they call it. I am not incredibly privy on the topic.

[solesuccess]

cruises…i'll come back to that another time
isn't there a way to block the cosmoelectromagnetic waves? if nut & bolt managed to install nanites in us there should be a way to change them if they're there to begin with
actual space being the void sounds like an apt comparison
it's still enough of an answer so…don't worry about not being too privy

[dropoffs]

If you are familiar with cruises, I am curious to read.

I believe that there are unique frequencies per effect and tuning the nanites to them would mean collecting data of these unique patterns so that they can be targeted. We can't block all waves as we do use several of them for a number of systems. Thebe may know more, but this is definitely the first time I've experienced something like... It seems we are sharing sensations? It's hard to describe.

[solesuccess]

wait are you talking about boats or something else
i'll probably reach out to you guys individually when i have questions based on your expertises and whatever
so you're all affected too?

[dropoffs]

They are voyages made on very large naval boats. Is that right?

I thought I simply had a good read on my colleagues, but today I do feel it's on the nose.

[solesuccess]

yeah that's right
not that i've ever been on one
it's been a pain all day but it's good to know that it's everybody
...i have another question that you might not know but figured i'd ask
why are there some of us who're alone but then other people who're from their same version of the world?
what would make nut & bolt decide to accept us?

[dropoffs]

That would be a more suited question for the company than us, admittedly. I'm sure they have their own guidelines and reasons for who they hire and why.

We simply receive whoever it is they send us and ensure the work gets done. Though I too am a bit curious about how they choose new hires.

[ We are just Babysitters. ]

[dropoffs]

That is such a good question! I do wonder.

[solesuccess]

[ thanks.........he also wonders.

but he figures that was about what he should have expected, too. ]

right...
and there's nothing stopping someone from helping someone else fulfill their contract, is there?

[dropoffs]

Do you mean to intend to work for someone who is choosing not to work?

[solesuccess]

i mean i would prefer if we pulled our own weight
and i'm pretty sure we will
but i'm just wondering

[dropoffs]

Ideally, everyone will participate in deliveries to avoid going to intergalactic court, but I do know Miss Lovelace is planning to press charges and combat the company on the legal playing field...

I'm not sure. Perhaps you can negotiate with Nut & Bolt. Shall I send your inquiry to them?

[solesuccess]

of course she is
...no, it's okay. maybe later
i was just wondering about it in case things get more complicated over the eight weeks

[dropoffs]

I'm sure that we can negotiate with the company if events transpire more than they have, Mister Enda. There may be leeway to work out your concerns and taking upon someone else's contract.

[solesuccess]

as long as the option to negotiate is there i'll be satisfied for now
i don't have plans to do anything or have anything done on my behalf but it's just
yeah

[ ... ]

are any of you actually from the same place?

[dropoffs]

Nut & Bolt would not want their mistakes to reach media, so I believe they will be open to satisfying needs to keep it under wraps.

[ Which is not nice! But!

Interesting question... I never thought to cross reference. I know that I do not share the same world as the rest.

[solesuccess]

unsurprising. big corporations never want bad press lest they get shut down

[ ... ]

wait a minute.
how often do all eight of you actually talk to each other?

[dropoffs]

If we are all gathered, it is normally a meeting for work, but I'm sure they interact among each other for personal matters.
