6.4- Brains Surgery

Those who would deface the tower, inside and out, must be punished. The poisonous words of the Hendersonians are just as dangerous- if not more so - as the grapple-cannons of the StormHawks and the mandibles of their Ant allies. Resist the urge to feel any sympathy for these traitors and Outsiders, Loyal Policy- and HartLife will reward you. Stay tuned after the episode for a special word from Creative Director Clayton Faits about HartLife NFP and the current American political climate.

We apologize that you must hear more of the Outsiders, Loyal Policy. The events contained within this True Retelling of the History of the HartLife corporation may be shocking- that any could even think to threaten the sanctity and safety of our Glorious Tower is horrific. Hold your company-mandated loved ones close, my dear Policies, and don't make a sound- the Outsiders will be defeated. They must be. They must.

Dearest Policies, we know you hesitate to return to the warrens of the MolePeople. Truly, I find them as disturbing as you do. Believe me, though- if you are to preserve the glory of the HartLife Corporation, you must understand all of its True History. Listen closely, Loyal Policies, and learn from the sins of Loamy the MolePerson and her disciples of No.

Remember, Loyal Policy- in the service of the Company, all work is noble. HartLife has invested in you, and so you must invest your thoughts, labor, and even your life back into the corporate good. Without the Company, you are nothing. Serve the Directors. Content Warnings for this episode can be found here.
