BZZZZZT!!

The footage displays a view from what looks like a security camera room. There are many, MANY different screens scattered across the walls of it. The main screens, set on the wall you see once you enter the room, seem to be the only ones currently in-use. Some were off, yeah- but the ones that WERE on show even more footage of what look like... 11? maybe 12 people?

All of the folks that were being watched were doing... relatively normal stuff.

In front of all the main screens was an elongated metal desk, and a- an orange sea anemone?

The anemone glances at each one of the currently online screens, a white gloved hand gripping onto the table. Yeesh, they seem tired.

A door to the room unlocks, however, the anemone seems to not notice this. The door creaks open, and it isn't until the individual opposite of them did they finally notice there was someone here.

████████ : Hello? ███?

███ turns around to the robot.

███ : er- Yeah?

████████ : Boss wants me to switch positions with you for the day. They want you to eat.

███ : Really? Thought they could care less about me, considerin they-

████████ : Yes, yes, I know, Boss is not the best person to exist. But it is mainly I that worries about your current state- How long has it been since you have gotten proper rest?

███ : ... A month. 

███ : I'm not goin downstairs, ████████. I'd rather be up here.

████████ : There's Bagel Bites.

███ pauses.

███ : Fine. Just this once. Don't expect me t' come back down just for Bagel Bites after this.

As the robot enters the room, the anemone leaves.

████████ : ...I do wish he'd be a tad more understanding.

BZZZZZT!!

The footage fades to static from there, and the TV turns off.

The tape slides out of the cassette player and onto the floor.
