Jan cornered me in the breakroom to talk about the weather. (IMITATION) \\u201cIf tomorrow isn\\u2019t shorts weather, then I\\u2019m going to be short with the weather.\\u201d What does she think? That I\\u2019m interested in her senior center comedy routine? Nothing more hackneyed than weather-related office talk, right?\\xa0\\nOVERSEER: (STRESSED) Please stop mentioning the weather, Secretary.\\nSECRETARY: I wasn\\u2019t talking about the weather itself, just the notion of office talk lacking substance\\u2013\\nOVERSEER: Please, just stop. Can\\u2019t you see you\\u2019re triggering my claustrophobia?\\nSECRETARY: Claustrophobia? What the hell are you talking about?\\nOVERSEER: Don\\u2019t make me say it.\\nSECRETARY: Say what?\\nOVERSEER: (SIGH) The clouds, Secretary.

It\\u2019s like the clouds are trapping me in a bubble.\\nSECRETARY: But you work in five-by-five room all day. Is that not triggering?\\nOVERSEER: Well, at least I know there\\u2019s a way out of this room.\\nSECRETARY: Are you saying you get claustrophobic because the clouds prevent you from\\u2026 um, leaving the planet?\\nOVERSEER: I don\\u2019t want to talk about this anymore.\\nSECRETARY: Do you think clouds are solid objects?\\nOVERSEER: I told you, I don\\u2019t want to talk about this anymore.\\nSECRETARY: What reason would you even have to leave the planet? In fact, what opportunity would you have\\u2013\\nOVERSEER: I said enough, Secretary.\\nSECRETARY: Fine. Fine. It\\u2019s just\\u2026 Never mind. Let\\u2019s just get on with it.\\nOVERSEER: So, you agree we should nuke the clouds?\\nSECRERTARY: Huh?\\nOVERSEER: Oh, you\\u2019re referring to the tape. Yes, let\\u2019s roll.

But this sure looks the same.\\xa0\\nCHIEF AMIL: I\\u2019ll take your word for it, Chosen One.\\nSOUND: ELEVATOR SIREN.\\nCONNIE: Ah, right. Let\\u2019s get off this elevator before it crushes us.\\nCHIEF AMIL: Right behind you.\\nSOUND: SIREN CEASES AND DOORS CLOSE.\\nCONNIE: This is so cool! I used to watch Tron all the time as a kid. Deadly Discs, Light Cycles, Cindy Morgan!\\nCHIEF AMIL: Who?\\nCONNIE: Yori!\\nCHIEF AMIL: Oh\\u2026 Wait, who?\\nCONNIE: Lora Baines!\\nCHIEF AMIL: Um, perhaps we should focus on the task at hand.\\nCONNIE: Oh, right\\u2026 But look ahead, Chief. There\\u2019s a group of people gliding around on some sort of neon skates. Throwing discs at glowing bricks. And oh, over there! That looks like some sort of spin on Space Paranoids. I have a feeling this challenge is going to be a blast!\\nCHIEF AMIL: Connie, you\\u2019re scaring me.\\nCONNIE: This place is enormous, Chief! Who knows what other games they have? And this neon aesthetic is really attuning to my vibe, y\\u2019know?\\nCHIEF AMIL: Connie, look out!\\nSOUND: SYNTHESIZED ICE SKATES APPROACHING.\\nCONNIE: Woah!
