Now entering Jack's Office

[heroantagonist]

[It's a long ride up in the elevator. The floors passing you by start to merge together into a jumbled blur, leaving the whole experience altogether surreal and boring.

Eventually though, it ends. Finally, you're deposited in a yellow hallway, rows upon rows of computers on business desks encased in large glass windows. A disc-shaped cleaning bot handles the long stretch of hallway you march down, rumbling incessantly as it passes. More potted plants. More Hyperion logos, getting worse by the second-

And then you enter Jack's office.

The man (the myth, the legend) himself is probably behind his desk. So why don't you drop in and say hi? Just be mindful of the rules...]

Calypso.

[Weird that he'd get her name wrong like that, if he made all those profiles.]

I wanted to ask- what exactly does graduation entail? Besides the whole murder thing.

[heroantagonist]

Uh, yeah. Sure.

[Okay. Name basis then.]

Well, [he reclines back, hands behind his head.] graduating means you get to return home with all the knowledge I've bestowed in you, ready to make your world a better place. And the best part? It's totally free! No charges.

[That wasn't really her intent, but if he's gonna call her by her name anyway he can at least get it right.]

Uh-huh, uh-huh, mhm.

[Nodding, following along.]

...But what do you get out of that. Is this, like- are you gonna run more of these, are we your ad for this hero program thing?

[heroantagonist]

That…… is an excellent question, that you basically answered all on your own. Good job!

That’s just about the gist of it - gonna get the word out. Make the universe a better place.
