I'm starting to like this turn of events. It's time we caught up on Jaqui and Luci.

I must admit, I'd like to study the wording of that NDA.

Yea the government is not know for clear and concise wording. More just try to cover anything.

Re: Pay It Forward 2017-12-15
Yeah, that's basically the sort of thing I was wondering about. How do you write an NDA that will cover the sort of situations that could arise in this case, without using language that gives away the situation to anyone who reads the NDA itself (even if they haven't signed it and aren't bound by it), and without the restrictions being so vague and fuzzy and broad that Jacquie's lawyer wouldn't say "You would be an idiot to sign this." It might be possible but it would be very tricky.Catawampus wrote:"Wait. . .what's this bit here about 'blast radius' in the third paragraph?"Dave wrote:I must admit, I'd like to study the wording of that NDA.
I suppose that's why Monica didn't insist on Amanda signing an NDA before being dunked into Lake Calhoun, right in the middle of the proliferating milfoil. That particular NDA would have had to include a manatee clause, and we all know there is no manatee clause.
Re: Pay It Forward 2017-12-15
It's got to be interesting. How do you say "You will disclose nothing about the fact that there are non-human, super-powered beings from myth and magic all around, and a top secret para-governmental agency running herd on things to boot" without saying that?Dave wrote:I must admit, I'd like to study the wording of that NDA.

SECTION B - NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.
1. Anything that is told to you by the agents (defined in section A) will not be disseminated, disclosed, or otherwise shared with anyone except the agents and those approved by the agents.
2. Failure to follow this agreement will result in very bad things(TM) happening.

Re: Pay It Forward 2017-12-15
That means that the agents can bind you to silence about any subject whatsoever, for the rest of your life, just by telling it to you. It's an unlimited blank-check gag order, written on pigskin (of the "pig-in-a-poke" variety). Lawyer says "Jacquie, you would be insane to sign this. You don't know what you're agreeing to."jwhouk wrote:SECTION B - NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.

(It also places no limits on what you could disclose if you learn of it directly (e.g. by observing Castela in person), if it's something that wasn't specifically told to you by one of the agents. So, although it's draconian, it's also inadequate.)
This is the sort of situation that a government can get away with, via an oath of secrecy or a military secrecy order.
Coming up with a workable equivalent in civil law, that would make sense for Jacquie to sign... not so easy.

Having to sign an NDA about the contents of the main NDA?

Oh yes, I forgot Luci thinks she has fat ankles, too.

She and Castela should be able to bond pretty quickly if they start comparing their bodily defects.

You do what my former-mole-inside-Microsoft told me that they did about Windows 10 {i think it was}; They made you sign an NDA to get to see the NDA for working on it.Dave wrote:Catawampus wrote:How do you write an NDA that will cover the sort of situations that could arise in this case, without using language that gives away the situation to anyone who reads the NDA itself (even if they haven't signed it and aren't bound by it), and without the restrictions being so vague and fuzzy and broad that Jacquie's lawyer wouldn't say "You would be an idiot to sign this."

Reminds me of Ash in Misfile - trying on sexy lingerie with her girlfriend in mind {stressful in the situation, at best} in a fitting room with a poster featuring a shot of her mother modeling one of her signature line sexy bras...eee wrote:Oh yes, I forgot Luci thinks she has fat ankles, too.

* In case you don't know, Ash is a teenage boy transformed into a girl and the whole world except her, another girl who has to do two years of her high school over and the angel who screwed up in the Celestial Filing Depot remembers that it was always that way...

Manatee clause? Ha! What about a Sanity Clause?
