As you are scrolling through Alice's phone, you can hear the Urbex content creator Marcus continuing his monologue. You wonder if he is talking mostly for the benefit of his invisible action camera audience of subscribers, and that there will be extensive post-production editing down of his monologue later:
...so the MAGUS divested his Hospitality, Resorts and Entertainment Division. But you see this made the Entertainment Division CEO really unhappy. He lost his life's passion! He wanted to make people laugh...! This CEO could have just accepted the Golden Parachute, the generous negotiated executive remuneration offer and walked away into some new role or responsibility. But the Entertainment CEO decided to make a big deal out of this, he went and leaked to the media about some of these lossmaking divisions under the MAGUS and what they were really doing, technology companies offering products for free to create a desert of profitability, commoditising the complements of their core endeavours, guarding an oasis of profitability for themselves and ensuring no competitors can ever emerge... and the military contracts, why else would you need to spend billions on seemingly pointless experiments with no viable route to market... Anyway the MAGUS discovered the leaks and of course Paribus got involved. Their ploy was simple, discredit the source: they counter-leaked some of this Entertainment Division CEO's... questionable personal relationship history with employees, their intimate proclivities with some outraged yet vulnerable subordinate and of course there was an uproar from corporate governance etc and he was never heard from again...
