When the students arrived on the worksite that day, they wouldn't find their usual teacher, but someone different there waiting for them, and didn't she just look so excited about it, too?

"I'm Detective Diaz," she offered, "and I'm here because Ms. Blackstone is sick. Now, usually, a sick teacher means a blow off or movie day, but since that would put this whole thing," she gestured vaguely at the building, "behind schedule, you guys get me instead. And insulation." She hitched a thumb toward the piles of fluffy pre-cut sheets, and flashed them a crooked, sardonic grin. "Aren't you lucky?"

"Now this stuff stings if you get it in your skin or eyes, so make sure you're wearing your stupid gloves and goggles, okay? This shouldn't be too hard; the stuff's already cut, so you just...put it in." And she demonstrated with one sheet, even if it looked more like she was frisking a suspect than anything else when she was fitting it in. "Now, some of it might be short," like the one she just did, "so just pick a small piece and fill it in and just tape it. No big deal. If you've got a wire or box, just cut a space out for it. Again. Easy. Babies could do it."

And then she sort of stood there for a moment. "Okay, then, I guess, get to work? Oh, right, she also said stay hydrated. Yeah. Okay. Don't have too much fun."

Well-insulated.

Not that there's much of one, but Rosa is just so eloquent and verbose...

Well, Norman could at least appreciate how to-the-point Detective Diaz was. He shrugged and went to get his stupid gloves and goggles on, anyway.

Quite a difference from Amaya. Breq kept her face blank, suspecting Detective Diaz wasn't the kind of person who liked unnecessary smiling anyway.

Stuff the walls with fiberglass! Be glad Amaya knew to avoid asbestos! Rosa briefly covered best practices, but she doesn't really care, figuring if the students mess it up, it's sort of what Blackstone gets for making children build her house.

Compared to the roofing and electrical, this really was child's play. Norman wasn't going to admit it, but he was actually kind of enjoying this part. Pick up insulation. Install insulation. Repeat.

Yang was, actually, way more susceptible to slashing damage than anything else, so she wasn't quibbling about putting on the gloves or goggles today, and she actually looked around to grab a face mask too.

Look, she didn't want death by a thousand fiberglass cuts, and she certainly didn't want it in her lungs.

But she was going to pick up entire piles of it and stack it closer to where people were working, so they didn't have to lug it so far. Might as well put the super-strength to use helping out.

Breq didn't find this complicated either. She was humming the whole time, going through the most recent songs she had picked up.

She's there if anyone has questions or whatever...

I hope you all realize that the only reason I picked that video was because dude's fashion sense is ON POINT.
