Peasant, 1100
I can’t get away from this wheat-
productivity analysis for the duke. Any
chance you can get the numbers from the
other fiefdoms by close of business today?
I’m having a tag-up with the agriculture
team tomorrow, so it’d be great to have
some fidelity on our progress.


Rebel, 1775
Why is communications tasking us with
an “urgent” message relay around town?
Can you see whether Paul or William is
around? They were super fired up about
the whole revolution initiative during the
all-hands, so this is honestly their baby.

Innkeeper, 1 BC
I’m already late on the quarterly
occupancy filing—will you tell the folks
in the lobby that we don’t have any room
tonight? The equine team might have
the bandwidth to make some space in
one of the stalls.

Frenchman, 1815
I’m double- and triple-booked fighting
over our new acquisitions in Belgium.
Pinging you for a status update on supply-
chain integration. I know we’re really low
on materials downstream. Should
I be floating my résumé elsewhere?
