Deacon
Rab
Halvard
Twelve rooms on the top corridor have blinds, and everything behind a blind is unobservable, and everything unobservable cannot be filed. Rank one gets one. Rab Ferris has never been in a room with a blind in it. Deacon Hoyle wants in and is not going to be asked. There are three people on the top corridor on a Thursday night and only one of them can leave without counting.
The ranking is the engine that puts three people in a room and takes their clothes off to prove something.
