    Man, I wish I had a friend like Chris!
    It would be awesome!

    Yeah, Gavotte’s totally got them wound around her finger. Fingers. Legs? Wings? An extremity of some sort.

      So Gavotte is using the files to create infighting? Is this how she cuts staff and keeps the rest occupied while her indisposition resolves itself?

    Now I’m wondering if there’s anybody around who doesn’t need the Basement Dweller files.

      If I found a set of files that were labeled ‘Basement Dweller Files’ I’d have to have them just because…

      Moustachio doesn’t actually need them, he just needs to be able to provide them to everybody who needs them.

      Now, if Sweetheart could finish scanning them, she could send copies of the PDFs to everyone….

        That is a much too sensible of a solution for this crowd.

          It would probably take Sweetheart at least two days to scan the files, without interruption. Even if she finished them today, she would be the only one to finish the assigned task and get the promotion. Can’t have that! Of course, there’s no way those files are still collated at this point.

      Ironically, the Basement Dwellers have absolutely no use for them whatsoever.

    I’d be more likely to believe his “allergy” story if he’d mentioned it before.

      Or if he didn’t, you know, have a giant freakin’ flower on his desk.

        There are plenty of things in perfumes that aren’t in every single flower on earth. I’m affected by many perfumes, especially heavily floral ones, but there are few if any flowers that actually negatively affect my breathing.

        I’m not arguing your result (Chris is lying), just your method (Chris doesn’t have allergies). Your result appears spot-on.

    I’m sure he’s just frustrated, but I wish someone more assertive than Tip would tell Chris he’s being an asshole right about now.

    The Basement Dwellers each needed something from someone else, but couldn’t see it themselves. The Basement Dweller files are needed by everyone, but nobody really knows why. Is Smart Gavotte trying to make a point about how team composition breaks down amid growing distrust? Or is Basement Dweller just how Jeff spells Macguffin?

      Yes. Maybe Gavotte is cutting staff by murder or quitting.

        They’re civil service. If you want to get them fired, you have to wait till they die.

          In the case of PSH’s employees, even death might not stop them.

      They could all get the files with no hassle if they only would wait for Sweetheart to finish her job.

    I suspect Gavotte thinks the best way to keep these people out of the world’s hair for a day, is to keep them in each other’s.

      It’s frightening how logical that sounds.

        Helen once said something about being so productive w/out the minions around during the moon invasion arc. Even pointed out how much fun she had watching/hearing about the escapades.

    So… the plot… well, I suppose “thickens” isn’t really the right word, but the plot is almost certainly doing something.

    Wait a second… Chris doesn’t work for Gavotte

      I believe the word you want is “curdles”…

    Umm… has anyone confirmed whether the mind-manipulating, text-altering AI was able to successfully piggyback onto someone else before its body was destroyed?

    Just sayin’ it might be worth double-checking about now.

    I gotta be on Chris with that hay fever comment. I myself am allergic to many perfumes and smoke of all kinds. Gives me a cough and some respiratory issues and around it for too long, infections. Course with his attitude I’m sure he’s lying and just saying it smells bad. XD
