Entry #004

[dr_inui]

I have been running numerous simulations for the upcoming expedition. I have had to revise my previous calculated prediction of our team succeeding of 14.7% down to 12.8%.

Perhaps there are other factors that I have not taken into account yet...

Just a little people skills pointer here, but if you've got bad numbers you should keep them to yourself. Or at least follow them up with some positive ones.

[dr_inui]

Ah, but if I followed it up with telling them that if Akutagawa Jirou's safety wasn't a concern then our success rate would go up to 82%, then that would likely not be taken well.

[mmmarui]

You're really bad at this. Like, it's not even funny.

Try something like, 'that said, we are aiming for a scenario where every member of the mission returns at at least 80% HP, and will prioritize the health of our party over 100 percenting the mission'.

[dr_inui]

I see. What percent completion of the directives would I base the second calculation off?

[mmmarui]

You see, that's why people are pissed at you. Whatever percent gives the best chance of everyone coming back. People > mission. Get it?

[dr_inui]

0%, obviously. That is a meaningless calculation.

[mmmarui]

You're so literal.

[dr_inui]

Yes I am.

[mmmarui]

That wasn't a compliment.
