Broadcast station 2- CIN Cognizant Information Network Prime time broadcast program.

Narrator: LIVE from CIN Central Desk, it's "Post-Cognition" with your Host, Frida Floreana!

Frida Floreana: Greetings Cognites and good evening. Well as we come out of the haze of the wonders of hypnovember, the tallies have been tallied and the triggers have been trigged! Let's take a look at the score board.

FINAL SCORE:
Penelope Adele: 32
TEKTITE # 42
Borf Mayer: 54
Kunihiko Akechi: 65

Frida Floreana: And there you have it folks! Looks like a clear winner this time around! but the journey to get there was up in the air for quite a bit! We have our special guest tonight, the Mastermind herself: Head Inspector of COSHA, Kunihiko Akechi.

Kunihiko Akechi:... Konichiwa, Floreana-san.

Frida Floreana: Goodness, Ms. Akechi, you look like you went through a hurricane!

Kunihiko Akechi: That is not an inaccurate description of the last thirty days.

Frida Floreana: Well it looks like all your work paid off! Tell me, what was your strategy to get a leg up in the competition?


Kunihiko Akechi:....strategy?

Frida Floreana: well sure. you had one of the most organized, and active organizations. The amount of construction projects and inspections you implemented was seriously impressive. I've certainly never felt safer now that COSHA is here.

Kunihiko # yes the.... the strategy. The one I had planned all this time. On purpose.

Frida Floreana:...... well don't keep us in suspense! Go right ahead.

Kunihiko Akechi: The- so the COSHA Usagi had some... eh... よじれ.... Kinks? kinks I needed to untangle.

Frida Floreana: ooooh Kinky!

Kunihiko Akechi: that's not- it... sure. My strategy was to prioritize perfecting the COSHA training program for the drones. It was more important for me to make sure the drones were up to the task instead of trying to compete for favor. Prove my worth through my work, not bluster.

Frida Floreana: Ahh! simply inspiring! How focused and elegant a tactic! There was a period where it seemed like the GOODPUPs were slated to take the lead! Were you concerned at any point?

Kunihiko Akechi: I....confess Floreana-san, I could not devote much focus on the other competitors, the bug fixes for the Usagi drones was a full time job. Borf-kun was a respectable opponent, and his GOODPUPs were exceptionally trained. It was inspiring to say the least.

Frida Floreana: Indeed! So! Now that you're the winner of Hypnovember, Kai Tyde will be rolling out the COSHA usagi in full force! With you at the lead!

Kunihiko #

Frida Floreana: Your model for the Usagi will now be the face of Cognizant's work force. and with you leading them, you'll shape up to be a valued employee and manager for many years to come, a well compensated position to be sure!

Kunihiko Akechi: WHAT

Frida Floreana: Oooooh Look at her, folks, she's touched! speechless! swayed! But before you get into doing that, you should get yourself some R&R. As congrats for your hard work, you've earned an all expense paid week long pampering session at Sunrise Bungalows with Cyndi Sunrise, courtesy of the fine reporters at CIN! Though I'm sure the COSHA Usagi won't notice you gone what with how well trained and low maintenance they are!

Kunihiko Aketchi: *high pitched whine rabbits make as a panic response.*

Frida Floreana: We're gonna take a quick break. Up next, We cover the ongoing Spray Tag contest in the Focault with Miss Diss, An Obelisk has appeared in the Placid Dunes, and our continuing documentary on Pocket watches: are we sleepy yet? Don't touch that dial!

EPILOGUE:

Kunihiko Akechi settles in her position as head of the COSHA Usagi in Cognizant. After a well needed rest and a thorough psychological evaluation.

Borf Mayer, now no longer bound by the expectations of maintaining the employees, acquiesces to the wishes of his Pups and spends some time as a GOODPUP himself. His wish finally granted.

TEKTITE 2.0 Is no longer the head drone producer at Facility 18, but is willing to lend its services for Ms. Akechi, as it has developed a new hobby: making sure hackers and Dr. Bright have as difficult as possible a time trying to compromise and take over Cognizant.

While Penelope Adele didn't get much grounding, she learned to appreciate drone service and started to take on clients for various Masterminds wishing for a more personal touch in their service. Working for the higher class elites wishing to be as pampered as they are in reality.
