Dept. of Petty Affairs Micro-Entry #004 — Silence Is a Blade Too
Filed during Hydration Zone Operations — Sprouts Sector, 2025-10-11
Filed by: Jerry “The Ankle Biter” Silverhand
Subject: Tactical Non-Engagement and Ego Starvation
Incident Report
While running a water pallet, an unverified coworker attempted to provoke conversation:
“You know your water, yeah?”
The operative (Boris) confirmed efficiency with a simple “Yup.” When pressed further — “What’s this water?” — no response was issued.
Priority remained: condense stock, maintain flow, ignore bait.
Result: Provoker left unsatisfied. Package quota maintained.
Collateral damage: none, except one bruised ego.
Doctrine Analysis
Silence isn’t submission. It’s selection. When a fool casts the hook, the wise man doesn’t bite — he builds a dam.
Every second spent in silence was a sharpened second. Because noise fades. But the quiet of the unbothered? That echoes.
Filed Verdict
- Silence deployed successfully.
- Target denied relevance.
- Mission — hydration and peace of mind — achieved.
- Filed and Stamped by Jerry “The Ankle Biter” Silverhand, Tribunal Chair (DPA)
- Doctrine: Don’t bark — bill.
- Motto: I don’t flex, I calculate.
