ALRIGHT after talking to Saphie...possibly it might actually be better for them not to be part of Engineering. Since they also tend to trade / do business, it'd probably be confusing as to why they're part of a department but asking for payment...

In which case, I'm thinking that maybe instead of being a department, they can instead be more like independent contractors. So like, they'll work for free when a Department Head signs off on it, but for the rest of the time they'll want to trade.

...which would kinda make Daja not really part of Engineering. But then, she has kinda always been acting more like a contractor anyways, now that I think about it. okay I'll stop rambling now...
