[exothermia]

Well then... it's good to meet you again, Sayid.

Which ship are you on?

[redatheart]

I've been assigned to the Bishop. And you?

[exothermia]

I'm on the Heron. I don't know much about the Bishop, I'm afraid.

[He shakes his head.]

There's not as much call here to keep informed about what other groups are doing, and who they are.

[redatheart]

I imagine that has something to do with not having to compete against each other.

[The faintest of smiles, which still looks wry.]

Although I'll admit I still don't know exactly how the system of ratings works.

[exothermia]

It's debatable whether it really exists or not. All I know is that sometimes I get credits and sometimes I don't.

[redatheart]

I suppose if it existed more seriously, there would probably be more competition.

[It sounds more like idle speculation than outright consideration, though there's some curiosity in his expression.]

Is there any correlation to behavior and reward?

[exothermia]

[He rubs at the back of his neck thoughtfully. There's a lot he could say to that.]

Yes, there is some. I've found that talking to certain people seems to result in more credits than others. And... if you're doing something out of the ordinary, much more.

[He won't get into sordid details about exactly what has earned him more credits in the past. Most of those moments are ones he hates thinking of in terms of profit.]

[redatheart]

Things of interest to an audience? That would seem to give weight to the probability of one.

[He won't ask specifically.

(He'd actually noticed a significant increase in his funds after his reunion with Tempest. It's not something he probably wants to think of in terms of profit either.)]

[exothermia]

Oh, I have no doubt someone is watching.

[redatheart]

Well, yes.

[Sayid concedes that point easily with a nod of his head, and maybe a wry smile.]

A large audience, then.
