Exercise · Not a record

Ten minutes as a new Registry clerk in training, with a quarter's budget and a wall of training cases. There is no right answer.

A game from Dreamscape Code, a novel by Nima Golsharifi. About this fiction · Need help now?

Form R-1 · Registry training docket

You are a clerk of the Registry on a Training Permit. This docket is an exercise: the cases on this wall are training cases, written for the purpose. None of them is a record.

Each week of the quarter you will be issued response teams, healers and seals. Allocate them to the cases on the wall, then stamp the week. The cases will change while you work. Letters will come back.

The Registry's notes beside each case are the Registry's. You are not bound by them.

There is no right answer, and this exercise will not pretend there is. At the end of the quarter you will sign your ledger.

Set by a DREAM training officer, who can be wrong.
