Rebecca agrees to let you have a copy of the letter and scurries off to the Administration office to use the photocopier. You, Ectabat and Gulliver chill in the break room, but you can hear the conversation the Dittos are having with the receptionist.
"Now, Nigel, Rupert, Clive," Nadine says patiently, "you're going to have to address me one-by-one if I'm to understand what the problem is."
"The issue, m'dear," one of the Dittos says icily, "is that the city has contracted us to fix Mr. and Mrs. Venomoth's chimney, but we're going to have to be paid extra if you expect us to go through with the job!"
"Supplies, additional labour... I mean, we're chimney-sweeps, not masons! You're crazy for expecting us to do this without additional compensation!" another Ditto barks.
"So on behalf of Ditto Chimney Sweeps Labour Union #262, we're lodging an official complaint," the third adds.
"Mmhmm, yes, and that union is the three of you?" Nadine asks.
"Aye," they reply in unison.
"Right, well, I'll pass your concerns onto Mayor Ambipom, but it'll be difficult allocating the funds. I was hoping... I mean, you're aware that Mr. and Mrs. Venomoth were to the first to have their children abducted, yes? All four of them?"
"Not our problem," one of the Dittos replies. "If the crook decided to decimate the chimney on their way down, it doesn't concern us. Extra money or we're not doing it."
"Weird that the Pokenapper leveled the first chimney while shimmying down it, but not the chimney of any of the other victims," another Ditto speculates. "Almost as if the other three Pokenappings were--"
"Well, unless you have anything else to add, I believe we're done here?" Nadine asks pleasantly. "Mayor Ambipom will be made aware of your concerns."
Suddenly, Rebecca returns with the photocopy in hand.
