Brenda has been missing a little while now, and we need to move fast on finding out whats happened, this certianly puts a hole in our investigation on Anomes actions.
Tyndall was in contact, we were going to follow leads on those she last contact on her cellphone we recoverd.
Aquatium
I reached the offices, quitea few bluepills would be there , question them I must, carefully.
Aquatium
I made my way in questioning various staff members and getting an assortment of replies.
Bluepill
I don't think Brenda every stops working. She's probably on a trip somewhere for Marketing.
Bluepill
I haven't been here long... Corporate culture around here is kind of weird. Seems like it's impossible to get anything out of the higher-ups. I guess that's pretty typical at big companies...
Aquatium
I spoke with Delmar Giddings about when he last spoke with Ms Utley
Delmar Giddings
Brenda? Haven't seen her; in fact, she's late getting back to me with the latest Tastee Wheat poll results. It really isn't like her to miss a deadline.
Aquatium
So she's not been in contact with him since either.
I contacted Tyndall on my findings from this office branch of P-A.
Aquatium
I made my way to the next office location.
Aquatium
We must be careful of what we say, and we resist because we both know that not everyone is ready to be awakened and are too far gone into this way of life that without it they could just as easily die too.
As I reach the offices I found a Computer Terminal where I managed to extract some data.
Aquatium
Politics and Profit, things never change. I went ahead and questioned more bluepills.
Bluepill
Deaths attributed to Wild Tundra cigarettes are down 0.4% over last quarter! Man, I'm gonna be able to put some great spin on that for our prospectus.
Bluepill
Mrs. Royer? She hasn't been in this week. Must have got sick or something.
Bluepill
No, but if you see her, tell her the Madrid office wants to talk to her right away.
Aquatium
hmmm... Carlee Royer hasnt been in this week.
Aquatium
It seems no one knows anything, or maybe they have been told to say that.... I arrive at the next office.
Bluepill
They say that we're a heartless corporation who marches in and establishes monopolies on vital consumer products, but that is such a, like, short-sighted attitude! Where would this city be without us? It's true that we control vital food resources, distribution channels, outlet chains, utilities, and so forth, but haven't we been managing them well? It's not like we're suddenly gonna turn all evil or anything. Sheesh!
Aquatium
...yes of course not.
Bluepill
No offense, but I don't get why Brenda went and hired you private detectives instead of relying on P-A's own security teams. They're some of the best corporate security in the world, and they have special permits from the city for carrying some pretty heavy ordinance. I don't see you being able to handle anything they can't.
Aquatium
We have certain expertise which I'm sure will prove useful in this investigation.
I went ahead and spoke with Sid Ellis.
Sid Ellis
Hm... No, detective, I haven't had the pleasure of any communication with Ms. Utley all week. It's quite unlike her to depart without leaving a forwarding number. I do hope that nothing serious has happened.
I wonder... Perhaps I shouldn't mention this, but there was an...unusual message from the board of directors earlier this week, saying that certain top Marketing positions had been "reassigned," but giving no further specifics. I attempted to ask my supervisor, Vernell Hoyos, about it, but she has not returned my call.
Aquatium
I like your thinking, lets see if this leads us anywhere.
Aquatium
Corporate intentions.... who knows. What I do know is we need to get to the bottom of this.
I arrived at the offices of Vernell Hoyos.
Bluepill
...risky, I tell you! There are too many people snooping around. She--
Vernell Hoyos
Forget it! This came straight from the head branch office! I am not sticking my neck out farther here for her or anyone else!
Oh. Excuse me, I didn't hear you come in. Can I help you?
Aquatium
Is everything ok? You seem a little aggriveated.
Do you know anything about a report from the board about Ms Utley?
Bluepill
...
Vernell Hoyos
Oh, no, everything's quite all right.
Report from the board? Ah, that. Nothing to worry about. Ms. Utley is a valuable employee! If anything, she deserves a commendation for the work she's done recently in salvaging Tastee Wheat's good name.
Aquatium
Thank you, I'll be in touch later should I have any more questions.
Aquatium
Possibly, not sure whats going on, we need to dig a little further.
Aquatium
We will monitor their HQ and see if we can gather more intel, but a visit of some sort is in order. This darkness of contact we now have is of concern.
