I have a favor to ask. I'm trying to help my warden understand a more modern approach to romance. What I need is a woman, between the ages of twenty-four and thirty-two.. thirty-three, who would be willing to take him out on a date. Maybe a private dinner, drinks afterward, and a starry walk in the CES or something. He'll know up front what this is; this isn't some trick and he won't be expecting to fall in love or anything.

I don't have anything specific to offer as a thanks, but I'm pretty resourceful if there's something specific you're looking for. I'm not providing any weapons and I reserve the right to refuse anyone for any reason.. because even knowing what's going on, he's still a nice guy and I don't want to mess with him. I'm really just looking to help him out.

Oh, it's George Crabtree. Some of you might know him.

I want to know more about your time. Are there any books, fiction or non-, that you can recommend? I'm a pretty fast reader.

I had this same conversation with someone else not that long ago. I'm not really sure why you guys all think the same. I know I haven't been here long, but I can't imagine getting that bored. There's definitely a harder time finding things to do that progress in the way of money or power, but there's still an infinite library and a lot of jobs, so there's no reason you can't be learning no hobbies or trying to do new work. There's always more things to learn and that has to keep you occupied at least some of the time.

I'm a people person, you know. I'm sick of the small social circle that's here. [It makes it so risky to con people.]

I haven't really noticed the small circle so far, but I admit I haven't been here that long. Maybe you're just trying to make friends with the wrong people.

You know what, smart guy? I think you're right. I need to branch out more.

I hope that works out for you.
