Year 2, week 51: unorthodox

“Well, it’s somewhat unorthodox, but I think it could be done.  But tell me, BabyBarista, isn’t it illegal to try and influence a judge in this way.”  It was BrainWasher voices his concerns about my proposed campaign to bring the judge’s mind around to our way of thinging.”
“I don’t think there’s a precedent against it,” I replied.
“I see.”
“And it’s not as if we’re going to be harming the judge in any way.”
“No.”
“Merely influencing him.  Through subliminal messages.”
“Well, quite.”
“Though it’s certainly not something I’d want the other side to find out about.”
“Yes, I do understand.”
“So, do you think you can do it?”
“If he sticks to the routine to and from work that you’ve described to me then I can certainly give it a go.  I’ll get started on Monday morning.”
