Erica: ‘yes’ (nods head)
Amanda: right. So they are not a priority for you, you do play them but

Head of technology: what I’m thinking is that we haven’t got to that yet
because we are working on environmental control
Erica: ‘yes’ (raises eyebrows)
Head of technology: and you will get to games it’s just that you want to get
your environmental control stuff working first
Erica: ‘yes’ (smiles and nods head)

Erica: ‘yes’ (nods head)
