He was then on full attention when he was asked to enumerate the things that he did for Greingoth. Well, where to begin...

"I started as a Ministry Advisor during the Borr administration and at the early days of the Greingoth regime." he said clearing his throat before proceeding. "And then I was sent for a research trip, coordinating with my former job at the South African Research facility and the Australian Research Institute regarding a couple of magical species and some plants and its implications and their use for potions." he said recalling the days of the research which brings him to the good old days. He is still well respected in both facilities having serves as Head of the Research Department on both of them.

"And then I got back from that trip and was offered the position of Junior Undersecretary which I gladly accepted." he said which pride and humility.
That was all very well and good, but it was mostly an employment history and didn't really describe what the man did in his job role. Surely he wasn't running all over the world looking for plants in the woods? That would mean he was a magibotonist and belonged down on Level 4, right?

"And once you were offered that job? What did you do for Mr. Greingoth while you were actually serving as Junior Undersecretary? And perhaps we shouldn't refer to that man's term of office as a 'regime'. It suggests... he was a dictator of the worst kind."

You learn that after working for seven years in the ministry.

"It's my pleasure to help," She told the minister as she rose to her feet. Did she need anything else? Hmm.. "I don't believe so," With that she walked over to the door, nodded at Kettleburn and Rockefeller, "I'll be at my desk." then left the room closing the door behind her.
Ah, excellent. Albert nodded at the woman as she rose to her feet, effectively dismissing her. "Please let me know when you have samples for the office. You're dismissed."
