AJ_Impy posted:Obey. Do not be nervous, relax, take our time. Let our worries be soothed and our concerns addressed. This works. What do we already know about the station of Overseer? Duties, procedures, latitudes, and restraints prescribed in Imperial administrative code; how thy tend to discharge their duties; the reactions and assessments of their performance by the public (and by the Imperial bureaucracy, iff we have any means or cause to know this), etc.

Weakest aspect, second weakest aspect (double up if we have exactly one aspect at zero, random if we have two); finish the Chronicle

When you face a similar situation as a full-fledged Overseer, will you be able to act similarly? Only one way to find out. Best to figure out how to maximize my ability to take drastic action, because if I'm going to do this for the rest of my life I probably won't be able to avoid it. Should you even act similarly? If I can determine it to be the best course of action, after accounting for detrimental side and compound effects. And managing to get past that the people that died are not only still people, but still people to whom I hold a duty of care. I doubt the next people I may have to oppose violently will be as unsympathetic as drug lords and human traffickers. Can you feel confident in your own judgment when the potential consequences are this severe? The buck really does stop here*, doesn't it. ... Oh poo poo.** Hang on while I check if developing my judgment is at the top of my priorities, and maybe engrave it there if it isn't. Substitute appropriate idiom *here and, if necessary, **here. Any questions before we begin? I've already learned that time is dear, and access to knowledge more so. I'd like to think I've learned to value as experience I don't have to suffer for, but not enshrine as universal truth, the opinions of my mentors. That in mind, what would you consider the best things you could teach to a student training to be a peer, what things you could teach best, and the best things she could learn from you? Time is so so dear, and while I no doubt need comprehensive knowledge and skill of my own, no one can be omniscient, and some things can be left to trusted specialists or compatriots. I need to know what if anything I can safely NOT learn. Do you regret any lessons not learned or opportunities not taken when you were in my station? Do you believe there are lessons that can only be learned from experience? Do you believe there are lessons for which even knowing they can only be learned from experience can hamper someone's ability to learn them? Laser-focused, yes, but not even a laser draws to a point. I've omitted things like 'what the other Overseers turn to her for most' and 'what particular discrete skills she most values and relies on' because we can reasonably expect to learn those from observation and we won't be remotely the same person as she is so we can hardly expect to rely on the exact same skills she does - though I would be surprised if a basic set didn't emerge from observing all the other Overseers. Feel free to use this more as inspiration, or guidance, or maybe a bit inner monologue (any, but especially the italicized parts) rather than verbatim. Why do I get the feeling we might lose another Overseer during our training, maybe more, and maybe not Theresa? dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Nov 18, 2017 |
