"Now that everyone is here we can begin. As of yet we don't know of our mission. What I do know is that all of you are excellent officers and that you will honor the name Arcadia. When not under a time critical assignment, eighty percent of your duty time is to be split as you choose between standard work, calibrating sensors, et cetera; and twenty percent of your time is to be spent on some special project of your own choosing, subject to approval by me, out of deference to limited resources. My personal project is finding a way to travel reliably back and forth between parallel universes. Questions?"
"So twenty percent of our duty time can be spent doing what we want?"
"Subject to approval, but yes. Please remember this arrangement is a privilege. It will be revoked if it is abused when time critical tasks need to be completed and when the ship doesn't have the required resources to spare. In the last case you may choose to collaborate on another project or do standard work."
