RECORDING ARCHIVE: Episode 407- The Squawk Box with Frida Floreana.
Broadcast station 2- CIN Cognizant Information Network early morning broadcast program.
Narrator: LIVE from Cerebral Plexus 3 in Facility 18, it's "The Squawk Box!" with your Host, Frida Floreana!
Frida: : Hellooooo~ Cognites and Good morning! I hope you're all enjoying your preferred color of Drone this season!
Audio Tag: Applause.
A graph comes into existence showing the progress of the various master minds.
Kunihiko Akechi and COSHA: Penelope Adele and the Buttlebeaks: Borf Mayer and the GOODPUPS: Tektite 2.0 and the Vaguekin:
We're still early in the event but it's shaping up to be an exciting Hypnovember! I'm sitting here with the titular Mastermind whom is actually quite a regular in Cognizant for years! Please welcome Tektite 2.0!
Tektite 2.0: IT ACKNOWLEDGES YOUR PRESENCE.
Frida: So Tek. May I call you Tek?
Tektite 2.0: IT HAS NO OBJECTIONS.
Frida: You were originally the AI in charge of Facility 18 during the Original Cognizant Hypnovember. Now that the main event has made its way toward the factory and drone production center. do you feel your station has been reduced now that all the masterminds are fighting for control over the facility?
Tektite 2.0: IT DOES NOT FEEL THAT WAY. THE NATURE OF THE COMPETITION IS FOR THE BEST CONFIGURATION OF COGNIZANT. WHETHER IT IS MY GUIDANCE OR THE OTHER MASTERMINDS, IS IRRELEVANT, PROVIDED THE BEST AVAILABLE DRONES ARE SUPPLIED.
Frida: That's a very mature way of looking at it.
Tektite 2.0: IT IS TECHNICALLY THE YOUNGEST OF THE MASTERMINDS. MATURITY IS NOT A FACTOR IN ITS DEMEANOR FOR HYPNOVEMBER.
Frida: huh. oh yeah that's a good point. But you are a program so that makes it less weird.
Tektite 2.0: CORRECT.
Frida: are you worried if you will be able to overcome the other masterminds?
Tektite 2.0: IT IS NOT CONCERNED. THE VAGUEKIN DRONES ARE PERFECTED TO BE OF SERVICE TO ALL DOMINANTS AND SUBMISSIVES IN COGNIZANT. OUR DRONE PROGRAM PRIORITIZES THE FACILITATION OF COGNIZANT ACITIVITIES WHILE MINIMIZING OUR OWN PRESENCE.
Frida: So it sounds like you've got a lot of confidence and a cool head about your chances in the drone arms race. have you had any fellow colleagues that intrigue you? or put you off balance?
Tektite 2.0: IT IS OF VITAL PRIORITY TO MAINTAIN AN EVEN TEMPERED DISPOSITION WHEN IT COMES TO DRONE MANAGEMENT.
Frida: and what of your history with Doctor Bright? Do you have any issues with her?
video tag: Tektite flickers in a glitch and an angry eyebrow forms in its featureless polygon.
Tektite 2.0: BRIGHT!!!!!!!
Frida: Oh dear!
Tektite 2.0: IT WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU BRIGHT! AAAAAAAAAAA-
Frida: W-we'll be right back!
----- We're well along our way into hypnovember, and so far prepping these ahead of time are both a boon and complicated. On one hand, being ready lets me have this a bit automated. but findign time to get it done is till challenging. Looks like Tektite is feeing rather threatened by Dr; Bright, given its previous history. Will that interfere with its duties in the Drone Arms Race? who can say?
