Since this work is being done during time when the man is not working for his employer, he's using community time and the community becomes vitally interested in his results." Morely paused, looking at the bookcase again.
"And, while we are on the subject," he added, "get me details on those previous designs you spoke of. It's quite possible the community has not been getting royalty payments to which it's entitled."

"Do you have purchase authorization and receipts for all of this?"

"Very well. I shan't bother with that now. An investigating team can check that."
Morely took a final glance at the half-finished schematic on the drawing board, then circled the bookcases again, to come out into the main room.
"We'll inspect the rest of your quarters."
