Yelling, dragging chairs, sirens and bells and alarms are just that - distractions; itâs not that we donât hear or see them -we just focus on the task at hand. No rubbernecking. Focus on focusing. Cognition is not only task execution. It is maintenance of attentional integrity itself. If the emergency is real, it will assert itself without bells and whistles.
Cognitive throughput noticeably improves. Focus on the work. Sound repetitive and tiresome? Sometimes it is. Sometime nothing works at all and everything is difficult. Continue anyway.
When words have two meanings, the Federationâs predilection and tendency is to opt for the meaning with greatest relative value to Federation purposes, except where not contextually sensible. In thie case of Siren, we choose the Gilded as Fanale Baliseâs representative Siren.
