This is true. [ he nods. if the laborers are killing each other, those responsible for disrupting the work force are undoubtedly dealt with, but piter isn’t concerned with monitoring pedestrians and slaves across an entire planet. if laborers die, more laborers are simply brought in. if one causes a particularly large hassle, one large enough to warrant the baron's attention? that is when he is brought in. ]

[ and also just for fun. ] On occasion a contemporary will slip and lose his mind, but such a thing is taken care of— [ that is, the mentat is put down and replaced ] —before he becomes a danger to those around him. Twisted Mentats that break are wastes of time and resources. [ the word is, after all, twisted and not broken— they should be refined and reformed, but if one snaps under the pressure, he was never meant to complete his training in the first place. the baron may have thought his own mentat unstable, but piter disagrees— he has not broken like some rabid animal. his master's fear is flattering, though. not many others are so wise. ]
