My name is Thrawn. I work alongside you on custodial duty. If you are interested, I have a one-day experiment for us. Should it succeed, it may reduce your workload there, in half the time. It may also - and this could be either a warning or an additional incentive - irritate Richter Belmont.
Absolutely understandable. Please note that if you find after I tell you my proposal, you may back out with no explanation needed or repercussions given. This is truly only a brief experiment.
Richter believes that the most efficient use of his bloated team of fifteen inmates is to go floor by floor, every day, scrubbing everything down. When I told him this was ill-advised, he dismissed me as attempting to militarize the ship.
I am reaching out to all of us on custodial now. We pick one day in the near future - just one day - wherein all of us take a single floor. No top-down work, with the more difficult levels 1 and 2 being assigned more than one person.
He believes he knows the best way to conduct things but he misunderstands that we can accomplish the same goal in half the time and manpower.
Perhaps then half of us - the half that have been unwillingly drafted into it for fear of punishment rather than a genuine wish to serve - can be free to do as they like.
I'm cautiously interested. I don't mind the extra work but I also see the merit in punishment detail, which it seems custodial is. After all, we are not here to enjoy our afterlives, and few prisoners indeed are willing to be imprisoned.
Indeed. My issue is primarily the lack of standardization and sloppy adherence to a schedule. It would appear Richter is content to allow matters to go unresolved because of a lack of effort on his part to provide a rubric.
I asked if the purpose was for punishment or for other purposes and was told it was in order to keep the ship clean. Given that purpose, would you agree this arrangement is somewhat slapdash and could use a more efficient method?
Richter's opinion on the purpose may differ from that of the Admiral's, and I suspect it does, as there seems to be no real qualifications needed for Warden. Certainly no training.
I'm willing to assist in this demonstration, but will not push for further change if it's rejected. I'm a military man myself, and know the value of command structure even if the NCOs are idiots.
Our structure seems different from most militaries I've read about since; I was a ground forces enlisted commander with the rank of First; we lead from the field. I believe an approximate equivalent to a corporal. Maybe.

Are you interested?

Given our situation I can't agree to anything without reading the fine print, but I'm willing to listen.
Not only the experiment, but it's goal.
Thank you.

Which military did you serve and at what rank, if I am permitted to know?

We are not yet a spacefaring planet, or i imagine being off world would also be in our wheelhouse.
