Entry #005

[dr_inui]

I have been busy looking over the large number of applications for people who wish to come out to Izanagi to work with me in the Chemistry team. As expected, the special merit award has drawn some attention from the scientific community. The UEA has requested my chosen 5 shortlisted candidates in the next round of communications, for them to arrive at Izanagi on the earliest possible shuttle.

I will have to consider the various specialities amongst the applications and the best combinations for research potential moving forward.



Renji, do you have any requests for books to add to your collection?

You should choose one of them, then. They'll know you better and know what to expect.

[dr_inui]

I will assess each application fairly, with consideration of their respective fields of expertise.

Given the amount of information that has been sent about colonising Izanagi so far, it would be expected that any scientist applying would have done their research and considered whether this is an environment that they would work well in.

...I meant with you. I would hate for some poor sap who had never met you to come here for 5 years just to have his idol dreams dashed.

[dr_inui]

There is minimal chance of my level of success and work output decreasing over the next 5 years. There should be no chance of 'dashing idol dreams'.

[mgakuto]

...I was talking about your personality.

[dr_inui]

I have factored my personality into considering my ongoing level of work output over the next 5 years on Izanagi.

[mgakuto]

...

Good luck, Dr. Inui.

[dr_inui]

Thank you, Mukahi.

[mgakuto]

Remind me, have I asked you not to call me that?
