Order Only: Ellie Summer
May. 10th, 2012 01:36 pmWell, she's here, currently kipping down in the cellar where we'd made up the 'room' for the Ministry to see.
We've been doing a good deal of talking about how to go about having her, now that we've got her.
Arthur, can you perhaps reassure us we were assigned one of our choices so quickly due to your handiwork? I have to admit I'm a bit suspicious that it fell out without any seeming false starts. But if you plied a wand to making sure it went through without any hitch, then I think we'll all feel a good deal more at ease she's not some Ministry spy.
Of course, we're assuming she is a Ministry spy - that is, we're assuming she's been indoctrinated and warned and bribed to report anything she may see that doesn't add up - but we're just a little nervous to make sure she is who the Ministry and her profile said she is.
In any case, our current plan is to pretend that we're exactly what we've told the Ministry we are, at least through the weekend, and see how she does. If she doesn't set off any alarms in our estimation, we'll try her letting her in to a small violation of Ministry codes and judge her reaction to that.
Unless Arthur or Bill tells us there's a reason to be extra cautious, in which case we'll reconsider how to proceed.
