I'm looking forward to your contribution to the year-long story, by the way. I notice that you've reached it in the comments now :)

A hidden agenda
"The meeting can't start without the agenda!" Sister Verity, one-time cheerleader and now Divisional Head at the Rutherford Deimos Orbital Station, was darting from desk to desk in a panic, snatching up data-chiplets, senseo-frags and even old-fashioned paperwork in her search. "And he's hidden it!"
Clerk Coquan smiled a broad smile, ignoring the twitches of his smart-suit as its AI tried to get him to leave, and said, "Prove it."

Greg - yeah, and then got stuck while avoiding writing on it. I will sit down and figure something out soon though.

Hah. Inspired by actual agenda preparation at work, and you've managed to reference myself and an elusive meeting agenda in your take. Well done!
