Step-by-step procedures: what you need, when to do them, and what can go wrong.
A procedure
Dismiss a servitor
Recall, destroy the anchor, close the record and leave the space.
What it is
To end a servitor cleanly at its appointed time.
At a glance
- When
- The kill date, or the next planetary boundary if the date is missed.
How to do it
- Name the servitor and state that its task is finished.
- Recall it from the task.
- Destroy or archive its sigil and anchor.
- Write the close line in the ledger.
- Mark the sheet closed.
- Return the space to ordinary use and leave the desk.
What you need
- The servitor sheet
- The sigil or anchor
- The ledger
A worked example
The eighth Friday: the sigil is deleted, the sheet is marked closed and the ledger records 'closed, task ended'.
What can go wrong
- The servitor is left open because closing feels like failure.
- The sigil is kept 'just in case'.
- The record is deleted and the history is lost.
Background
Keeping a record
A close line and a closed status.
