[Someone thought it'd be fun to make some good use of those errant tape recorders. The feed begins with an almost regal-sounding voice, both encouraging as much as demanding, and such continues along with....Wait, is that music?

It becomes clear it's some sort of workout music of sorts, and once it plays through, it repeats itself.

Enjoy the tunes, Temba!]

This is giving me horrible flashbacks to the brief period of time when I attempted to encourage my department into having daily group work outs. It was such a mistake.

[Audio]

[deal_me_in]

Why would you do such a thing?!

[plate_builder]

Exercise is good for the brain and morale.

[deal_me_in]

Did your department think so?

[plate_builder]

Actually, yes. But there were... complaints from other departments that kept us from carrying forward.

[deal_me_in]

Heh! What kind of complaints? Too distracting? Or they feeling left out?

[plate_builder]

Actually, it was the later. And the other executives didn't like the idea of their employees not working every possible hour.

[pursuitofcappiness]

This is a very long song.

[deal_me_in]

I'm sure it could've been longer. Shaxx does love his training regimens.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Well, guess it's about the same as the music they play at my gym at home.

[deal_me_in]

Wait, no kidding? Maybe Shaxx is just a classics kind of guy.

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ Steve thinks that heavy metal and glam rock sound the same... ]

What other songs are there?

[deal_me_in]

...that's all that's on here.

[faceguy]

Got anything with more guitar?

[deal_me_in]

Eh, sorry kid. All I got for Dawning was a lousy mixtape and an oven.

[faceguy]

What’s Dawning?

[deal_me_in]

It's a winter festival we hold, back at home, just before the year's end. Lotta gift-giving and baked goods. I think the Agrii's spin on it is New Tick, and it's more of a new year celebration thing. They like dropping off gifts for us. Some things are definitely better than others.

[faceguy]

Oh so kinda like Christmas... Wait, the Agrii give us presents?

[deal_me_in]

Kinda, yeah!

Yep! Except it's more like stuff from home. Sometimes it's things familiar to you. I think usually the theme is that it means something to the person receiving it. Honestly I'm not sure what the angle was with the stuff I got this year but one time they got me a little cape and paper horn for Colonel.

I feel like I've been put on hold calling corporate.

[deal_me_in]

oh don't let shaxx hear you say that or he'll make you do laps

that guy takes training regimens very seriously

[buildingitsir]

shaxx? who the fuck is that
sounds like a nickname for shaq
shquille o'neal in case you're not familiar

either way
this sounds like hold music
i'm not running laps

[deal_me_in]

head of the crucible
nope never heard of him
he's not a guardian right

laps is probably the tamest thing to expect
death matches are usually how it goes
of course that only works if you can come back

[buildingitsir]

he's a basketball player
shaquille o'neal
i mean i guess he could be a guardian of basketball
which is a sport

death matches?
the fuck?
that's a no from me
no death matches or running laps from me

why'd you pick hold music anyways?

[deal_me_in]

basketball
must be some pre-golden age celebrity then
not many ballsports these days but its fun watching the kids play dodgeball
they are vicious

oh yah definitely not for the faint of heart

i didnt pick it i got it from the agrii for that tick day
