Give me a Psychology roll for Doreen.
She asks, “How do you all have it?”
Alec says, “We were both contractors, like you, only to the Overlord’s Household, not the Vizierate. The permanent Household Staff didn’t tell us much more than we needed to know, and they didn’t encourage… fraternising. I was told to keep all my team on a short leash. Don’ get too close, they said. There was a Household permanent, Carruthers… Maggie? Magda? Megan? Megan, I recall, used to give us most of our work. Lots came through me, but sometimes she’d deal directly with team members. We all lived in temporary accommodations inside the palace, didn’t want us goin’ out much. Abbas used to complain he never got to see his woman enough.”
Give me a Research roll please.
Yay 6 on that Psyche.

9 on research.
