SEND IN THE CLONES III : The Run-around

You board the elevator. You arrive at the 6th floor. You run down a hall and into a foyer. There is a series of doors all with long lines of people in front of them. You find the door for the Sector Office of the Production and Utilization Committee. You wait in line as other people are admitted and then stay inside for what feels like an eternity and then released again. the next person (or group of people) goes inside and the line inches forward...

You finally arrive at the door. The group before you has been inside for at least 20 minutes.

At last they are released and it is your turn to go in.
You enter the door.

you are in a clean well-appointed office with one desk and one chair there is no paperwork in sight. On the desk is a boxy computer with an attached keyboard and a green monitor.
Behind the desk sits a cheerful looking older woman.

The nameplate on the desk reads

Mable-B-KLG

She smiles as you enter and waves an enthusiastic hello.

Oh, well aren't you just the sweetest little things. Now what do the three of you want?

She is very impressed by Will,
Well Hello to you dear. Oh my, what an awful lot of forms, you've got there. Doesn't seem very efficient at all does it? I've been encouraging the entire department to go completely paperless, doesn't that seem like the way to go? Would you like to enroll in the paperless system, it doesn't take very long, and just think of all the paper you'll be saving. ALL OF IT!

That reminds me of this time, oh it had to be years ago now, I was in the food vats portioning single serve heat-em-up hungry jack dinners, This was back in the days when they were filled by hand mind you, not like that new-fangled system they've got with the tubes and conveyors, anyways I asked my supervisor, what was his name, Jerry-R-LRY or was It Larry-R-JIM? At any rate, I asked him how much banapple flavored algae desert to put in the receptacle, and Do you know what he told me? ALL OF IT! ha ha. he was kidding of course. Could you imagine trying to put an entire vat of bannapple desert into a single Hungry Jack Dinner? Oh but we did have some fun back then. I'm talking about wholesome fun now mind you, I haven't gotten where I am by undermining The Computer's better judgement, Steven! his name was Steven-O-LRY. Oh there's a name I haven't thought of in years.
now then, what was it you boys wanted again?

oh, yes, equipment. That was it! You see old Mable hasn't completely lost her banapples! Say did I ever tell you boys about Larry-O-DVD? He was a friend of your fathers. Oh wait no, that can't be right... Maybe it was the other way around?

Well, I guess it doesn't matter anyways. Now what did you want again sweetheart?

Brett gives his dramatic speech and places his hand on the desk in a dramatic manner. If he performs a trick, it is completely imperceptible.

Marry-O-BRN? Where have I heard that name before, Oh yes! She sent you to file some forms for me. That's right. You boys need your equipment. No use shooting trouble if you've got nothing to shoot it with! That's what Mary used to say back when we worked in the Hungry Jack food vats. Here now sweety, just hand me my reading glasses, they're right there on the nightstand.

she gestures towards an empty corner of the room.

oh thank you young man, yes just lay them all out like that and we'll get you enrolled in that paperless system.

Cart is looking over the forms.
Will is looking all around the room and under the desk

Brett is patting an invisible table.
