"Yeah, you can see the problem. I've never been a fan of using ratings to determine what you should do in a show, but I guess that's why I'm in HR and not in story development. So you'd say that you're satisfied with your group's dynamic?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be some clerical error in our system, or perhaps one of you has previously signed some form of binding contract? That isn't my specialty though, so if you want to resolve that issue we'll have to send down someone from the AQC in order to straighten that out.

"Actually," Q interrupted, mumbling loud enough for Gerald to hear, "group dynamics is key to a good quest. People who can connect with one another with ease tend to have a better outcome of a quest; however, if you don't have good dynamics, everything will go to crap to say the least.

"The group dynamic has everything to do with the quality of the prophecy. If the prophecy is excellent, then it will set up who is meant to be in the quest itself.

So these NRA-103 forms need to be filled so that we don't accidentally send another guy to talk with you. We just get complaints from time to time, they don't normally mean much, but I'm from the APAC, or the Agency for the Control and Appropriation of Prophecies. Quick question before we get this ball rolling, is this your first dealing with a prophecy?" The man whips out another form and a pen from one of his many suit pockets. "I'm not signing anything.
