I'm a man, I think name is… Pat Bakeman?

>>6947

You remember…you're a businessman named Pat Bakeman.

…but has your CEO always been purple? No, you shake that thought out of your head, everything's getting more purple because of all the drugs you're on right now. The CEO is just eyeing you up and down. I guess he's just sizing you up.

Say…what was your job here again?

>Desk job: I sit at a desk, I do things on a computer

>Mail guy: I get letters from some employees over to other employees

>Presenter: When there are meetings, I'm the guy who explains it all to the other employees

>Negotiator: When Businesco people visit, and they're looking to make a deal, I'm the guy who seals that deal

>Secret Observer: I make sure employees are working hard, and if they're not, I report them.

>>6956

Secret observer. Yeah, that's what your job is. Not that you would tell anyone that though, except the CEO. Being a secret observer is a very important task, one that takes full dedication to Corpratago.

Why isn't the CEO moving? It's like he's been holding that position for at least five whole minutes? Let's just say it's the drugs again.

"Don't worry Mr. Bakeman, you're doing an excellent job and are a very valuable asset to this company. The only reason you're in my office is because I want you to be extra diligent this quarter."

The CEO's voice is pleasing to your ears. In charge, but not threatening.

"Rumors around the office say that Businessco is trying to indoctrinate employees in smaller sections of the office, like yours, and bring them over to their company. Make sure anyone who might be secretly working for Businessco is reported, alright?"

>Reassure the CEO that no Businessco employees will escape your watch

>Just nod your head in agreement

>Ask the CEO for tips on how to locate Businessco employees pretending to be loyal Corpratago employees

>Compliment his hair

>>6959

The CEO's body still seems as still as ever, but at the same time, in a weird, most likely drug related way, you feel like you've somehow just disappointed him.

"It's not my job to tell you how to do your job. You've been doing this long enough to figure it out. Now get back to your office and find some Businessco spies."

And with that, you leave The CEO's sight, and head to the nearest open elevator. The trip to your sector is a long one, at least 9 hours on a day when the elevator is going particularly fast, so you decide to take a nap.

———————-

The elevator drops you off in your sector, and you walk right back to your cubicle. Fellow workers welcome you back and ask how your meeting with The CEO went, what it was about, if you're in trouble, ect. You simply smile and brush them off. Your coworkers don't know you're a secret observer; to them, you are just another guy with a desk job, like everyone else.

You sit back down at your cubicle. For a brief moment, the colors return to normal. You're not quite sure what the pictures and the cards and the flowers are for, but they're not important.

>Do basic desk job work. I don't want people to be suspicious, so getting right back to work is the best thing to do.

>Go to a break room and chat with some coworkers. It will set there curiosity at ease when I make up a story about why I was with The CEO, and it will give me time to observe people

>Talk with one of my managers. Maybe I can get some basic hints on anyone acting strange.

>Look at my knickknacks.

>>6963

You decide that working for an hour or two at your desk would be a good idea. You sit down, turn on your computer, and start typing away.

You're not always sure as to what you're actually working on, as working has become so ingrained into your being that it's almost like running on pure instinct, but you believe you're currently reviewing food delivery documents from other parts of Corpratago to make sure there are no errors. Or something like that. It's all standard deskwork stuff.

One of your coworkers from a neighboring cubicle pears his head over.

"Hey hey hey, Bakeman my man! How you doing, bud? You were gone for like, forever and shit!"

This is Julius. He can be annoying.

"Speaking of being gone for awhile, what the hell happened to Debra, huh? She used to be so fucking hot, then she leaves for some sort of meeting on office behavior, and next thing you know, she's all stuffy looking and shit…I mean it's still kinda a turn on, but still, let the hair down, Debra. You know what I'm saying?"

>Keep talking with Julius. Good to keep up relationships.

>Don't even talk to this clown, I have more important things to do, like reviewing this food stuff

>I've got a manager to talk to, talk to Julius some other time.

>>6973

You politely tell Julius that you need to speak with a manager, and that you can talk to him later.

"Hey man, I gotcha, you gotta do what you gotta do. I was gonna take a lunch break anyway soon, talk to ya later."

You leave your cubicle, and head over to the manager board. Your sector isn't the largest, but it falls right under the jurisdiction of three separate managers. Luckily, one of your favorites is the only one available right now; Mr. Eddie Pinkers.

Mr. Pinkers, who prefers to be called Eddie, is a big softy when it comes to anyone buttering him up. If there's any manager that you're gonna get information from it's him. You knock on his office door, and he motions you in.

"Hey Pat, what brings you over to my fine office today?"

>I'm just gonna get to the point; ask him if he's been noticing anyone acting strange lately

>I'll tell him I was just coming in so he knew I was back, and that I'll be working extra hard to catch up on anything I've missed. He'll love that.

>Ask him to go to an activity after work. I know there's a company baseball game tonight, and going with him there would be a great chance to get him to spill information

>>6980

Right away, you ask "Eddie" if he wants to catch the company baseball game tonight. He at first seems a little surprised, but a smile grows on his face.

"The game, huh? That does sound fun, Pat, that really does. Didn't expect anyone to invite me to…ah, what am I saying, after work you and me will check out the game."

Excellent! You've got him right where you want him.

>Say that we'll go to the game itself. Nothing gets a good bond going like being at the actual game, watching the people play in person.

>Invite him back to my home to watch the game on TV. It will be a lot cheaper than actually going to a game out of the blue, and having a more private place to get information will be good.

>Ask him if he's noticed anything weird. He's already happy about being invited to something, and I need to jump on the opportunity.

>>6985

When Mr. Pinkers realizes you intend to take him to the actual game, his smile just gets even wider.

"So, after work you and me'll take an elevator right to the game, huh? And don't worry about paying for my ticket, Pat, I can handle myself."

You leave his office, assured that you've got your next information dump right in the bag.

You head back to your cubicle, and check the clock. Work will be done in about two hours, which can really fly by.

>Just keep working on the computer until work ends.

>Talk with Julius. He might have some dirt worth listening to.

>Head to the break room. Get to know my fellow officemates (and potential Businessco spies) better

>>6989

You pear your head over the cubicle wall and look over at Julius, who sees you and immediately closes out on what you believe to be some very raunchy pornography on his computer.

"Oh fuck, uh, hey man! Didn't, uh, expect you back yet. So uh…what's up?"

You ask him what's the latest word around the sector.

"Oh man, I've heard some juicy shit, bud. Juicy fucking shit."

—

"You know Cathie? The chick that handles the phones all the time? I heard from a friend down at one of the farm floors that she likes to head down their sometimes, go into one of the bathrooms, and suck dudes off. Can you believe it? I'd love to find her in a stall sometime!"

—

"You know Ralph, the negotiator? He heads out to Businessco all the time to handle deals and shit, but lately I've been hearing rumors that he's been doing some less than business related activities over there. I'm talking prostitutes, man! Businessco prostitutes! Corporate says that Businessco girls don't stand up to our Corpratago girls, but hey, I'd like to give one of 'em a shot!

—

"Okay, this one's a doozy. You know Sandra? You probably don't, she's like, a plumber or something. She's always going around fixing pipes, and sometimes she comes to our sector. I'd totally like her to check up on my pipe sometime, but that ain't important. She's apparently selling some products on the side. Not sure what she's selling, but whatever it is, it's not from Corpratago, which means it has to be Businessco stuff. If a manager finds out, or one of those secret observers does, holy shit, there will be hell to pay. Not sure where she usually works though, she doesn't live near this sector from what I hear."

—————–

Work's over. You sign off your computer, punch out, and find Mr. Pinkers waiting for you by one of the elevators.

"Hey Pat, you ready? This is gonna be so much fun!"

You enter an elevator with him, and set off for the baseball field. It's not too far of a trip, about a hour or so, and others are heading to the baseball field too, so there's plenty of people to make small talk with in the elevator as you wait.

Eventually you head off, get in line, wait in line, and buy your ticket, while Mr. Pinkers buys his own. They're expensive, but it's not too big of a dent in your wallet. Mr. Pinkers insists on buying you some snacks, and after that you take your seats.

Tonight's game is the Corpratago Cougars against the Corpratago Canaries. Mr. Pinkers was always a Canaries fan, though they're one of the worse off teams in the company. Maybe he just likes underdogs.

Since there are only two companies left on Earth, Corpratago teams only have three types of opponents to go against. Businessco teams, other Corpratago teams, and android copies of teams from other companies that have long since gone out of business or got fully assimilated into Corpratago. The android teams usually aren't that fun to watch, as they're always playing the same way every game, based on whatever programing is in them. Businessco teams are great fun to watch, just due to the rivalry between your corporation and theirs, but those games are getting increasingly rarer for some reason.

Anyway, Mr. Pinkers looks like he's having a really good time.

>Ask him if he's noticed anything strange lately, in general

>Talk to him about Julius, Ralph, Carrie, or Sandra.

>Attempt to further your friendship; I need to get closer to him to learn the real good stuff

>Attempt to further this friendship into something more; you're pretty sure Mr. Pinkers is a homosexual

>Ask him about the rumors regarding Businessco indoctrination

>>6994

You continue to watch the rest of the game with Mr. Pinkers, commenting on the catches and the batters and whatever else you can think of. He's really enjoying your company, and the fact that the Canaries seem to be doing well in this game is all the better.

"You know Pat, you've got a good head on your shoulders. Most of the other employees in our sector don't like hanging up with us managers, probably because they're always worried about getting in trouble. I mean, I get that Mr. Hedge can be harsh and Ms. Liz can be intimidating, but I mean…"

You reassure Mr. Pinkers that you're his favorite manager (though you don't tell him the exact reasons why).

>Ask him about the other managers. Getting dirt on them would be really nice.

>Ask him about news relating to Businessco. Hopefully whatever he can tell will help me out later.

>Ask him about anything relating to my fellow employees.

>Don't ask him anything. Keep playing the long game.

>>6999

You ask Mr. Pinkers about any future business trips planned for this sector, instead of anything super juicy. You do throw in a comment about how a business trip might get everyone's minds back on work, or something to that regard.

"Pat, I know exactly what you're talking about. You've heard rumors that Ms. Liz has a team building trip planned, didn't you? Who told you? Ahh, it doesn't matter. I can't say much, but apparently Ms. Liz thinks we need to strengthen our overall trust around here, and I couldn't agree more."

A team building trip, huh? You could imagine Mr. Pinkers doing something like this, or even Mr. Hedge if he's found a particularly grueling exercise for everyone to do, but Ms. Liz? That certainly seems out of character for her.

——-

The game concludes, sadly with the Cougars making a comeback and beating the Canaries, but Mr. Pinkers isn't upset. He's just had a great time with you, and says that you and him should hang out more often. It's nice to have friends in the higher ups.

Each of you take a separate elevator, him to his home district, and you to yours. About an hour and a half later, and you're walking right back into your cozy little abode. The drugs seem to have finally worn off, and you won't need to take them again until morning.

>Head off to bed. Early to bed, early to rise.

>Go to my computer and browse EmployeeChat: The Best Corpratago Social Network.

>Watch some television

>Go to my computer and send a report to Office Security. If I have enough info to tell, I'll get a nice little paycheck.

>>7010

You decide doing a little bit of everything is in order. You won't be able to fully make use of everything, sure, but it's good to have a varied night.

—

EmployeeChat is pretty quiet right now. Todd, a deskworker, made some post about somebody stealing pens around your sector, and is now having a back and forth conversation with Debra about who might be stealing them.

Julius is chatting it up with Kimi, a presenter, and it seems like he's trying to hit on her. She's not going for it.

—-

Your report to your superiors is a basic one. You don't name names just yet, but you do tell them that you're basically forging stronger bonds with your employees, saving up smaller dirt so you can get a bigger league on the Businessco workers. It should keep them satisfied for awhile.

—

You sit down to watch some television. You watch a little bit of Incognito, a show about young teenager workers needing to solve a series of murders that may or may not be supernatural. After that, you catch some Paper Space, a comedy about a farmer worker who through a series of shenanigans becomes a CEO of a company. Finally, you round off the night with an episode of Prankster, which is a show about catching light hearted office pranks on camera.

And then you go to bed.

———

You dream of a giant skull that whispers secrets.

>Talk to the skull

>Fight the skull

>Run from the skull

>>7014

You have no business talking with this skull. This skull just comes in here, interrupting your workflow, and you're not going to stand for it. Of course, you're not going to be rude and tell the skull to leave. You'll just subtly suggest that the skull should go away by not responding to it.

Eventually, the skull realizes your hints, and returns to where it came from. This pleases you.

——

You wake up, wash up, brush your teeth and hair, and pour out your pills.

>Take my pills.

>Don't take my pills.

>Save my pills for later at work.

>Try taking a smaller dose of pills than usual.

>>7018

Something tells you to take a smaller dose than usual, and keep what you don't put down the hatch in your pocket. Something about seeing all those colors, plus that weird skull dream, is making you cautious.

You take a smaller dose, and while the feeling isn't nearly as strong, there is some strangeness going on in your head. Everything's a little bit brighter, it seems.

You head off to work, punch in, and sit at your cubicle.

>Get right to working on the computer.

>Talk to Julius, see if he's got any more gossip.

>Check out the manager board; see which managers I can meet with

>Go right to the break room

>>7026

You peak over your cubicle wall, and Julius is…well, you wouldn't say he's hard at work, but he's at least doing his job, though without much drive.

"Oh hey friendo, what's up?"

—

Over coffee, Julius and you discuss the latest rumors.

"So, I heard you and Mr. Pinkers went to the game last night, huh? Didn't take you for the type of guy to go to a Wednesday baseball game…or the type of guy to hang out with a manager. You looking for a promotion from that guy or something?"

—

"You know, I heard Ms. Liz is planning some sort of field trip thing on Monday. Can you believe it? Ms. "I'll cut your balls off" Liz is planning something like that? I think something's up. But man, what I wouldn't give to go on a field trip with her, you know what I'm saying? Of course ya do."

—

"Yo, speaking of managers, word is that Mr. Hedge is super pissed off at Ralph for some reason. Something about him blowing some deal or something a week back, I don't know. But fuck man, my condolences, you do not want to piss off Mr. Hedge, you know?"

—

You head back to your cubicle, and do some basic work for a little while. Without the drugs messing with you're head, you can pay more attention to what you're actually doing right now. It has something to do with vehicle parts and calculating the right amount of tires needed for one thing or another thing. Man, is work always this mind numbing? The clock just seems to be stretching on forever! The drugs may make you see colors you really shouldn't, but at least you didn't need to think about how boring this was!

>Pop those extra pills in my mouth, and let this work day get easier.

>Check out the manager board, see which managers I can meet with.

>Go to the break room.

>>7037

Taking a break from the mind numbing work, you go and see which managers are currently in on the board. Ms. Liz, Mr. Pinkers, and Mr. Hedge are all in their offices, though Mr. Hedge's status is currently set to "busy." When you turn your head towards Mr. Hedge's office, you can hear a faint, but dominating yelling.

>Go to Mr. Pinkers

>Go to Ms. Liz

>Go to Mr. Hedge

>>7039

You decide to take the safest option, and go to Mr. Pinkers office again. When you approach his office, he spots you and eagerly motions you to come in.

"Hey, Pat! Some game last night, huh? Ah man, I gotta thank you again, I had a lot of fun. You're a good man, Pat, a good man."

You take the compliments, and make small talk for a bit, talking about the game last night and such, until Mr. Pinkers finally asks if there's anything he can help you with.

You say that you heard yelling coming from Mr. Hedge's office while grabbing some water, and you just couldn't shake the feeling that something bad must have happened to get Mr. Hedge so mad. You say that you were a little too intimidated to go peeping into Mr. Hedge's business, so you came to Mr. Pinkers to see if he knew anything he could tell.

Mr. Pinkers clearly trusts you well enough to share some details.

"Oh it's nothing, Pat, don't worry about it. You see…well, I shouldn't say too much, but…well, you know Ralph? Well, he heads to Businessco every once in awhile to negotiate some of the smaller trading deals here and there, nothing too big. The thing is, and I'm sure you've probably figured this out by now, but Mr. Hedge has some…well, big aspirations. I can't say what exactly he was aiming to get worked out, but he wanted Ralph to negotiate a big deal that would really help this sector of the office get some big influence in the rest of Corpratago. The negotiations didn't really go as planned, and I guess Mr. Hedge is having a bit of a hard time handling that. Really, it's nothing too bad, I'm sure Mr. Hedge will calm down eventually."

So, Mr. Hedge had some big plans for your sector that didn't follow through? Seems like everyone's trying to climb the corporate ladder more furiously nowadays.

You thank Mr. Pinkers for clearing things up, and head back to your cubicle. As you sit down, you instantly remember just how boring this all is.

But what's this? You've received some email! And not to your work email, your personal email!

>Check the email.

>Ignore it, continue working on the computer until work ends.

>Go to the break room.

>>7095

You click open your personal mail, and read.

To: Patrick Bakeman

From: DOC

You're taking less than your recommended dose of medicine today. Just a friendly reminder.

-DOC

You have never received a message like this before, and in unnerves you. You do not know who DOC is, but they somehow know you're taking less pills than usual.

>Take the rest of my pills!

>Email them back, ask them who they are.

>Ask Julius if he knows someone named DOC

>Delete the email, pretend I never saw it.

>Wait until work ends, then think about what to do.

>>7099

You're very unnerved by this. You've never heard of this DOC before, and the fact they could somehow know that you weren't on all your pills is just boggling to think about. You wonder if this email could have been sent by the sector nurse, Nurse Limp, but that doesn't make any sense. Nurse Limp can't just magically tell when you're not on all your pills, right?

You consider popping the rest of the pills in your mouth and hoping that nothing else will come of it, but something forces you to not do it. Maybe it's some gut reaction that it isn't the right thing to do. Maybe it's the thought that this DOC person might somehow be related to the Businessco indoctrination scheme. Whatever the case, you do not take the rest of your pills.

The rest of the day goes by in a blur, as you focus entirely on your work so as to not think about the email.

————

Work's over. You sign off your computer, and are about to punch out.

>Head right home

>Go to The Mailroom (a local bar around this sector)

>Head to the break room and see if anyone has any afterwork plans I can squeeze into

>Head up a few floors, to the more "well-to-do" sectors

>Head to the lower floors, to the more "labour heavy" sectors

>Go to one of my managers, see if I can build my relationships with them

>Stick around. Maybe try to get some extra work in, maybe snoop around a bit.

>Go see Nurse Limp

>>7133

You decide to head over to the break room, and see what your fellow workers are planning.

———-

The break room is decently packed at the moment, but you can define three distinct groups of discussion.

One group is centered around Ralph, who got out of a very harsh grilling from Mr. Hedge. Others are trying to get him to spill the beans as to what exactly happened.

The next group seems to be focused around Debra. From what you can pick up, Debra has been working with Ms. Liz on her "secret trip", and might be willing to spill some details on what it exactly is.

In the final group, Julius is talking about how he heard from a friend of a friend that Sandra, the plumber who may or may not have products from Businessco, may or may not be at one of the lower floors, and he's thinking about checking out the rumors.

>Squeeze into Ralph's group.

>Squeeze into Debra's group.

>Squeeze into Julius' group.

>Leave, do something else.

>>7149

You head over to Ralph and those around him, and ask what all the fuss is about.

"Aw man," says Ralph, "not you too Patrick. Look, I…I can't just talk about why Mr. Hedge is mad about, okay? And not just because it would piss him off, it's that…look, it'll get me in more trouble."

You assure Ralph that you can keep a secret. Despite this, Ralph starts moving away from the crowd, and most of them dissipate from the area, losing interest or just giving up.

Before Ralph leaves though, he quickly rushes over to you and begins to whisper.

"Patrick, I know you're friendly with the managers, so just talk to me over EmployeeChat when you get home, okay?"

Ralph runs off. Julius is now leaving the area too.

>Head home so I can log on to EmployeeChat right away.

>Follow Julius and try to tag along on his trip to find Sandra.

>Go over to Debra's group and see what information I can gather.

>>7181

You decide to catch up with Julius as he's leaving towards one of the elevators.

"Hey Pat, how the fuck you doing, buddy?"

You explain that you want to tag along and see this Sandra person.

"Awww yeah, Patman! You looking for that fine ass Businessco shit? Aww whatever, let's go!"

You enter the elevator with Julius, and descend into one of the lower floors.

——–

"Here we are, Patman. The chick's supposed to be in one of the bathrooms on this floor."

It appears this floor, or at least the sector that you've made it too, is exclusively for farming. Many workers can be seen tending to various plants, fruits, and vegetables of all shapes and sizes.

You walk over with Julius to one of the nearby male bathrooms. You both look inside, but Sandra isn't there yet.

"Don't worry Patman, the gal should be here any minute now."

————

It's a long wait. A real long wait. At least an hour, you're sure. Both you and Julius are starting to get impatient.

"Where the fuck is that bitch, come on!"

"You talking to me?"

You and Julius are shocked to find a woman with a wrench is standing right by you now. Where in the world did she come from?

Also, you're starting to realize that your drugs have begun to ware off.

>Introduce myself and Julius

>Ask her if she's Sandra and if she does what people say she does

>Follow her into the bathroom before talking, you don't want to be suspicious by talking about illegal Businessco trade in the open

>>7217

Before you or Julius can really respond, the plumber, presumably Sandra, enters the women's bathroom. You look around to make sure no one is watching, and you and Julius follow her in.

She just scowls at you as you watch her wrenching away at one of the toilets.

What do you do?

>Ask her about buying Businessco products, but try to be discrete

>Ask her about buying Businessco products, but be upfront about it

>I'm sure she sells this stuff, so I might as well ask her how she's getting it

>Let Julius do the talking.

>>7248

You nod your head to Julius, and he gets that you want him to try speaking to her.

"Hey babe, listen up," says Julius, "I know that you know that I know about your little scheme going on here, 'cause you know that I wouldn't be in the ladies room with you right now unless two things were going on. One, you and me were gonna bump some real fine uglies down here while farm girls listen in, or two, you've got shit that I want, so how about you just-"

"You think I would sell to a cunt like you?"

Julius is honestly shocked by how this woman has responded to what he would probably consider his "charisma skills."

You gotta intervene here. You say it nice and simple. You heard she sold Businessco supplies, and you and your friend are looking to buy.

"I sell. I'm not gonna sell to your fuckwad friend, but I'll sell to you. What do you want. Something to eat? Something to drink? Something to swallow? A knick knack? Something serious?"

>I want something to eat

>I want something to drink

>I want something to swallow

>I want a knick knack

>I want something serious

>>7272

You want something serious, and you tell Sandra you're willing to pay for it.

She nods her head.

"I trust you."

She tells you and Julius to close your eyes, and you do. You hear shuffling.

When you open them, she is holding something in her hands. It appears to be some sort of camera.

"…the fuck is this?" asks Julius.

"Businessco Camera."

"…a camera? That's a serious thing? Lady, I think you and me got two different definitions of serious."

"You retard, I found it here, do you know what that means?"

"Uh…"

"Businessco spy stuff. If you ever got caught with it, you'd get your ass handed to you by security."

This is pretty damn serious. Getting a camera that might have been used by Businessco spies could be very useful. You could see if it has some sort of memory system and see what it has seen. Or maybe the camera sends the footage somewhere, and you could potentially track it. Or hell, maybe you can use it to spy on people yourself.

What do you do?

>Offer a HUGE amount of money for it.

>Offer a reasonable amount of money for it.

>Threaten to snitch on Sandra's business unless she gives me that camera

>Offer a service to Sandra in exchange for the camera.

>>7301

You offer the woman a reasonable price for the camera, plus a few extra bucks for a tip. At first, Sandra isn't impressed. She wants the big bucks for something like this, but once you tell her that you want to be a regular customer, she begins to warm up with you. You hand her the money, she hands you the camera.

"Hey," says Julius, "what about me? I wanna buy something."

"I don't sell to idiots" Sandra says.

"Well fuck you too, lady!"

You then ask Sandra if she can check around to make sure it's safe to leave the bathroom and the floor. She looks outside, and confirms that you can get out of here just fine.

You then hand Sandra your business card. You explain that you're not keen on how dangerous it is coming to a different floor and meeting up in places like a woman's bathroom, and how you would like her to come to your home if she has anything else worthwhile.

"Are you trying to hit on me, buddy? I'm a dealer, not a whore. If you want my shit, you come find me on my time…but fine. If I think you might want something, I may pay you a visit sometime."

With that, you and Julius are sent out of the bathroom, you with your Businessco Camera (this being your only spy camera, Corpratago doesn't equip you with espionage gear), and Julius with nothing.

"Well that was a fucking waste of time…I mean not for you, of course, Sandra totally wants your dick, but still."

———

Here you are. Back in your home. It's been a pretty long day, especially considering how you weren't on all of your pills, and some person named DOC knew that you weren't on all your pills, and you bought some illegal technology.

>Head off to bed.

>Go to my computer and browse EmployeeChat: I still might be able to talk Ralph, if he's online.

>Watch some television

>Play around with the new spy camera: see how it ticks

>Go to my computer and send a report to Office Security: I could give them an update on my findings, if I wanted
