...okay so the Sparashki's performance has noticeably improved between the 15-minute and 30-minute mark.  Who knew that Sparashki had such vigor when entering their aquatic phase?

Somewhat shockingly, the prediction markets say that they should keep running with Merrin, instead of the second-rank Keeper who's now arriving.  Merrin's performance here is a known quantity, she's apparently adequate, there's no obvious qualitative bonuses in reach for doing better.  The Keeper would have slightly better mechanical dexterity on the machines and faster naked reaction times; but she has not actually logged the same number of sim-hours on these machines, or their interactions, as Merrin.

Why is somebody like this working at a small regional hospital, at a small regional hospital salary, instead of, say, a much larger hospital for a much larger salary?
