Oman: “We need to follow the protocols in order.
Smugastut: “Yes, yes, I forgot.”
Oman: “First, you check the situation (protocol #15).”
Smugastut: “Right.”
Oman: “Then we have a meeting (protocol #2461).”
Smugastut: “I see.”
Oman: “You do the wall breach protocol (protocol #9) only after the meeting.”
Smugastut: “Uh-huh.”
Tuple: “Umm... Guys?”
Oman: “Unless the Chairs-Responsible is hungry. Then things get complicated.”
Tuple: “Guys?”
Smugastut: “What?! When was that clause added?”
Oman: “Some weeks ago, I think? There’s a good reason, though...”
Tuple: “GUYS!”
Smugastut: “WHAT NOW, TUPLE?”
