Cameron, I’d like you to take notes at the meeting on Tuesday.

Patrick Bright

He’s left Doodle, Jonathan.

Jonathan Danners

Does anyone know his phone number?

Patrick Bright

I’ll take notes, I don’t mind.

Jonathan Danners

Thank you, Patrick. I’ll take over when it’s your turn to speak.

Ludya Parak

I don’t bother preparing for meets. Prefer to wing it. All this build-up creates nerves and a lack of flow in the presentation. Plus I’ve got stuff this weekend.

Jem Badhuri

Personal stuff?

Jonathan Danners

If Cameron was still in this group, he’d confirm that in the real world there would be competition for a contract like this. We’d be fighting for it, so we’d have to prepare. Luckily Gela has already done the difficult bit of winning the commission.

Ludya Parak

Yes, personal stuff, as it happens.

Jem Badhuri

I’m going to ask Gela to change my role. Numbers aren’t my thing.

Alyson Lang

She must’ve been impressed with your calculations when you were trying to get me kicked off the course for stealing.

Jem Badhuri

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Alyson Lang

Apparently you had a spreadsheet and everything.

Jem Badhuri

Stuff went missing whenever you stayed overnight – anyone would be suspicious.

Ludya Parak

You actually did that, Jem? Wow. That is devious.
