016 - All On My Own

[Seven stands in the dining hall. She's alone and the kitchen is closed behind her.] Despite repeated requests for assistance in the kitchen, there are now officially no other members of staff for lunch-time.

As such, the kitchen will be closed during these times until I get the assistance I require to feed approximately one hundred individuals.

Thank you.

[She's serious. There's only fruit and blood (and possibly Quarian nutrients ) available with the usual tea and coffee stuff.]

Oh, dear. I'd be happy to offer my time, ma'am.

Thank you, but the positions are for inmates only.
themountie: (eyebrow)

All right, but under the circumstances...

Under the circumstances, there are still the breakfast and dinner shifts. Actions have consequences, so must inaction.

Which is why I'm offering to volunteer, ma'am. My own inmate already has a job, one I can hardly ask him to leave.

You are not the one who needs to learn. As I have said below, this is a job for inmates. I will not insist that your inmate change jobs, if you feel that he is better served by remaining, then I will respect your judgement.

I may reconsider after a month or two, but for now, two meals a day will be sufficient for most. For special cases, I would be willing to speak with the individuals involved.

Personally, I can manage on very little, but I'd hate to deprive the rest of the Barge when there's a surplus of available labor. Are you sure there are paired inmates who aren't currently employed in other positions? On the other hand, it's my impression that few wardens are employed beyond the duty of caring for their inmates. I know I, for one, have a great deal of time on my hands to help the ship, and I'd like to do that in any way I can. [SINCERITY.]

At any rate, I'd like to request full rations for my inmate, Roy Slater.
not_annika: Seven looking particularly sceptical (Oh REALLY!)

Irrelevant. Our 'deprivation' is limited. Breakfast and dinner are still catered for.

These are positions designed to assist the inmates. There are approximately fifty inmates on board. Not all of them can be employed.

Your impression is accurate, however, you seem to miss that they are employed as supervisors. If you wish for such a position, that is your prerogative, however there are sufficient supervisors for the kitchen.

Your request is unnecessary. We are not rationing at this juncture. We are not lacking in supplies, there will be fruit available, we are lacking in labour and it defeats the purpose of the labour if the wardens are doing it.

If the situation does not improve, I will re-evaluate. As it stands, however, I do not require your assistance at this time.
themountie: (UM.)

With all due respect, ma'am, I believe everyone in our care is entitled to three meals a day, comprised of sufficiently balanced meals. Given that we have the food available, an apparent shortage of hired employees, and a number of willing volunteers, the temporary solution seems obvious to me.

I understand your position, but I believe maintaining the well-being of our community is of greater moral importance than the occupational therapy provided by the job, particularly if there are lacking inmates to benefit from said therapy.

Once more, I would like to request that my inmate, Roy Slater, be given three full meals a day. He earns his keep, ma'am.

If the inmates are finding it difficult to remain in good health, they are welcome to come to the kitchen and speak with me. Together we will arrange something.

I find your assumption that I am willing to risk the health of the inmates insulting.

Your request is denied.
themountie: (mad!)

[personal profile] themountie 2012-05-25 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Ma'am, you are-- [Fraser's just about ready to explode, here, but he clamps his mouth shut and swallows it back.]

I see.

In that case, I would like to requisition sufficient provisions to provide my inmate with a daily lunch myself.

Then you may request it of the Admiral. [She deactivates the connection.]
