You're going to start your first day in a new position - as an assistant in the Department of European History! This is a brand new and challenging field to you. To make it even more challenging, the department is about to publish a huge work soon, which is nowhere near done.
Fortunately, there are some nice colleagues willing to help you out, and a not so nice supervisor... You will have to make up your mind and choose one of them to work closely with. Will you be able to help, or will you drag the department down?
