Records clerk

You have just stepped to the edge of the balcony overlooking the Records Department floor, holding the new production reports from the Fiction Department. O'Brien stands beside you in his black overalls. He looks down at the Outer Party members gathering below. He turns his shoulders toward you and points to a specific name on the paper in your hand.
