*Kumalo was excited to hear from the Chief of Technology that all of the disguised listening devices were ready to be installed. When Kumalo was explaining how he wanted the devices to be installed by M-10 the Chief was rather curious in why it was to be installed by the droid.*
My good friend. I really hope you understand why I am doing it this way. Please do not be discouraged or hurt by my request. I simply want only one, other than myself, to know where they are. They are secret devices only designed for the purpose of being SECRET. And are they really secret if they everyone knows of there existence?
I believe I understand sir. It is sort of like insurance...
Elaborate.
Well... you want limited people to know where these devices are so in case someone else talks then you know where to go to. Which in this case only you and the droid know... and... you can always wipe the droid's memory so no one can trace it back to you and find the devices, right? You are just insuring yourself of limited sources or possibilities.
Very good, sir! Well said, indeed.
Thank you, sir. I never thought about it that way until now.
No I serious... I'm impressed. Overcoming confusion and seeing a new perspective, for that, my friend, in addition for showing reason and compliance I just may give you a pay raise!
*The man's eyes lit up like a ships thruster. Kumalo could not help but chuckle.*
*Kumalo wasn't simply thinking about giving the man a pay raise for explaining something...no. He did it to not only to reward him of his compliance but as well introduce a sense of satisfaction in seeing the wisdom of Kumalo's superiority.
Kumalo always worked according to what the future may react to his actions and decisions. Rewarding always seemed as a good thing that good people do... however in this case... Kumalo was introducing the idea of motivating a man for his compliance to come in hopes of a few extra bucks. Some may call it bribery. Kumalo saw it as a means to get things done.*
Well, my friend, if you keep this up I will see to it myself that you get that pay raise. I'm sure your wife and 2 children would love to have some extra credits coming in once in awhile.
Oh yes sir! They would!
*The man paused suddenly while walking toward the exit.*
Sir... how do you know I have a family?? They do not live here.
My friend, it is my job to take care of my people. And knowing who has families or special others lets me put into perspective the importance of my decisions that I am making for the good of Sarapin. And when I think of people like you and your family it brings to me a need to provide and protect. It keeps me balanced.
*The man smiled and nodded before proceeding toward the exit door.*
*Kumalo lied when he explained the reason for knowing who his family was, rather he knew them because he wanted to know of other ways to... motivate a man... When the time came, if harm was threatened to his family then the man may work accordingly to Kumalo's wishes.*
*When the time came, Kumalo requested M-10 to put these listening devices in every room and facility in Mount Corvast.*
