Thirteenth PSI

Hi, everyone. 

As foreman of the section of the factory responsible for producing canned beets, I'm pleased to announce that we've pretty much got things covered for the rest of the week.  I think we're about 2000 cans of beets over where we need to be.  In light of your hard work over the last few months as members of the Glorious Amazing Incredibly Happy People of Um, Prola . . Prolatarines That Hate America, I think it's fair that everyone who works in the beet-produce section should get the next few days off to think about how much you love communism and how happy we all are and how you want to stay out of trouble for sure definitely.

If anyone needs me, I'm going to be, um . . . somewhere far away, I think.  And if anyone asks why you're not at the factory, remember that you have permission from your foreman to stay indoors and not cause trouble until this all blows over.  I mean, until the end of the week.

And if I make any more telephone announcements after this that sound stupid, you should ignore it.

And you skipped? That's not too bad, I don't think. You can say that you're sick.

I also told one of the "informants" what I did. I'm still awaiting the results on that.

. . . What? Why? Do they have quotas, too?

[teacup-parry.livejournal.com]

Yes, they do.

However, the point is to test the lengths of which this particular variation of Mayfield would go to concerning the punishment of their citizens.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Oh.

I guess I don't mind if anyone reports me. It's not like I was really all that sneaky about it.

[teacup-parry.livejournal.com]

Well, I hope you don't suffer too harsh of a punishment.

To be honest, I've never been droned before. I don't think I would like it very much, but it wouldn't be the worst thing.

[teacup-parry.livejournal.com]

Considering it is based on Soviet Russia, they very well could decide to do worse than a simple droning.

I've never heard of Soviet Russia. Well, aside from talking to our Russia. What do you mean?

[teacup-parry.livejournal.com]

Let's just say Soviet Russia offers less human rights to the average citizen than 50's America.

They're not opposed to performing scientific experiments on humans, for example.

It's a good thing I played so much hide and seek with my brother when I was younger, then.

Let's hope that your experience serves you well here, then.
