"Sir? Sir?" You don't know what you were doing for the last fifteen minutes but it clearly wasn't anything productive. C-0RA shakes your shoulder as S-4M keeps blaring in your ear. You can really only make out 'sir', considering the rest of his voice sounds so distant and faint in comparison.
"Sir!" You suddenly jump in place. "FUCKOHSHITIMHEREIMHERE." You blubber out, damn near falling out of your chair in the process.
"Sir. A-are you okay? Do we need to call an employee in?" The face seared onto the console screen can barely hide its worry. You don't respond for a moment before hacking up a solid ball of black goop like a hairball.
"Yeah. I'm fine. No need to call anyone." You wipe away at your mouth. You can't really describe the face S-4M made at what you just did. You snap your fingers at C-0RA as you begin writing down your purchases. "C-0RA. You. Can you find Employee T? She has disappeared from this facility."
After tossing your tar ball down a pipe, she pauses at your request. She hardly pauses before giving you an answer. <span class="mu-b">"She's in Containment Cell A, sir."</span>
"Huh?" You raise an eyebrow. She doesn't elaborate, so you decide to quickly check up on the cell in question.
All that's there is the fortune teller, sitting there, like it always does. There's no sign of Employee T. You would ask C-0RA for clarification but you feel like that would waste more time. Time you don't have.
You mark down what you want from the catalogs, finally.

Before you tuck yourself into bed, you decide to give that salesman robot a tiny bit of credit. He did get you some free catalogs thanks to that TV.

Well, glad he feels great about himself now. You walk over to your bed and collapse face first onto the pillow. Mmh. Vaguely soft, vaguely cotton.
"Good night, sir. You'll need the rest for the upcoming days." S-4M nervously chuckles. His face disappears from the screen, presumably focusing on keeping an eye on the facility while you're out of it. "GOOd NIghT!!!" C-0RA waves a hand at you before pulling out that damn novel.
Luckily, you drift away into a sleep before she can start reading it out loud.
