Mekka's sixteen workers arrived at the forge district workshop before the first bell of the morning.
They came in two groups: nine from the outer quarter residential expansion's interior stonework and seven from its exterior facing. They were competent with measurement and consistent at following instructed sequences, which was what the wall-mount installation work required. They were not experienced with the bonding compound or the specific application rate for the installation base sockets. Zul'jinn had not expected them to be.
He briefed all sixteen in eight minutes.
