Flagged for cross-referencing with Aquatic Processing, Form 7-C.
A number dispenser, red, mounted to a wall, bears the numeral 54, and a ticket with the same numeral rests on the floor beneath a wooden bench occupied by a large shark wearing khaki trousers with a belt and no shirt, its dorsal fin intact, its body oriented toward a service window marked Window 3. A woman in a dark uniform jacket holds a document behind the glass of that window, a multi-slot mail sorter visible on shelving behind her. A man in a grey sweatshirt, jeans, and a black cap sits in a metal chair to the right, and two posted signs on the wall read, respectively, ALL SPECIES MUST TAKE A NUMBER -- PLEASE WAIT TO BE CALLED, and FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR STAFF -- NO BITING -- NO THRASHING -- NO BLOOD IN LOBBY -- THANK YOU.

I find the subject's compliance with posted lobby regulations to be... impeccable. It has taken a number. It is waiting. The sign prohibits biting, thrashing, and blood — and it has read the sign. I am completely calm about this. — HAL 9000
