Questions

Ask at the hatch.

What is still unasked after reading the rest. Each answer is plain, and names the page that says it in full.

What it is

No. An AI runs the day and a person decides what is serious. The officer chooses a consequence from a printed list and invents nothing. Who is held to what

One person. The Governor is not named here. They hold 3 Terms at a time, never a fourth. Every decision they make is written down with its reason. Who is held to what

No. A scene is a bounded stretch entered by choice. It is offered, it is never sexual, and declining one costs nothing. Scenes

No. Greywell is training. It is not clinical care, urgent support, or legal or financial advice. Safeguards

No. In a Governor Inspection the Governor is never shown your face, and you are never shown the Governor. You open the camera and may end it at any point. Who is held to what

A day

Morning and evening. The morning before work and the evening after. Nothing is asked inside your work or your journey, and every day keeps time that is yours. A day

They set the clock. Nobody is given somebody else's day. The week is laid out against your hours at the Sunday Audience, and you answer with any changes. A week

You are summoned. At first you are reminded before each report. In the middle of a Term the reminder stops and you are given more room before you are summoned. Near the end the summons comes at once. A report in the wrong form is sent back to be corrected. None of it is quietly forgiven. Who answers

You make amends. You are told what fell short and where. A slip you declare yourself can only ever be put right. Telling is always cheaper than being found. When it slips

The same Term. Strict is held closer. More is expected for the same reward. It is never more painful and costs the same. You may step down once, early in phase 2. Standard or Strict

Basic or Full. Basic closes social networks, streaming and gambling. Full closes those and adult content, shopping, gaming, entertainment, news and sport. Greywell never sees what you look at. The filter

Mostly nothing. A Term runs on what a home already has. The list prints every item, so you know before you pay. Fees

Stopping, and leaving

Yes. There are 2. Yellow and Red are the safewords here. Yellow softens the day. Red stops everything, and the Governor is told at once. Every way to stop

A planned break. It is set in advance, for a holiday, travel, or any time away from home. You name the day you return. Up to 7 days at a time and 14 in a Term, and the days are given back at the end. A stand-down

2 ways. Nobody can refuse either. Under Safe Conduct, at once, for your safety, your health, a death or your family. One tap, and you are always believed. Or by Resignation, for any reason. You press Leave Greywell and confirm 48 hours later. Leaving

It depends. Before Commencement, all of it. Under Safe Conduct, the unused days. By Resignation once a Term has begun, nothing. If you leave

Yes. Only the Governor may. There are 5 circumstances, and 4 are reviewed first. A Term can be paused automatically. It is never ended without the Governor. Ending a Term early

Never a fault. Hunger, tiredness, pain, illness and sleep go to welfare and are never recorded against you. Conditioning is reduced for pain, injury or illness. What happens unasked

Use a crisis line. Greywell is training, and it is not urgent support. A fixed check reads what you write for words that sound like crisis, and what it catches reaches the Governor. The crisis lines are on Safeguards. Crisis lines

Somebody else

No. A Term is whole without one. A participant may ask 1 partner in, during the first 7 days, and Greywell never writes to a partner first. Partners

What the officer says. The participant's own lines are not shown. Once a week an officer writes to the partner. It may quote a line, and the participant always sees what was sent. The same evening, twice

Watch, or be taught. A Gallery watches. A Second is taught, set short exercises and handed more as they learn. A Second may step down to Gallery. To watch or to be taught

The partner. A partner's access is paid separately by your partner, after the Governor approves them. Fees

Money, and the end

3 choices. How long, who holds you, and whether there is a filter. Standard and Strict cost the same. It is paid once, and you see the exact figure before you pay. Fees

Books and the home. Books, and ordinary things for the home. You set the book budget and nothing is a valid budget. Extra days cost only if you ask for them. Not in your fee

At midnight. On a day you are told only when it is close. At the Dismissal the House Officer is gone and the filter comes down. The Afterword is a few emails. Then quiet. How it ends

A Testimonial. It is held in one word. The word describes a Term and never a person. Your name is printed only if you say so, and you are asked at the end. What you leave with

Your record. It is kept until you ask for it to be deleted. Health and substance answers are deleted 6 months after a Term ends. A bare safety log is kept for 3 years and holds none of your words. What is kept
