Part 3/8:
As the day progresses, tension mounts with the announcement of mass redundancies, highlighted by the promotion of Marcus, the assistant manager, underlining the precariousness of Desmond’s situation. The atmosphere at the office becomes noticeably more hostile as talks of layoffs surface.
An urgent request from the research sector, issued by Dr. Fromom, temporarily distracts Desmond from office politics. Upon arriving, he’s met with bizarre tests involving combat armor and a missile launch gone wrong, resulting in chaos. Instead of focusing on his report, Desmond decides to develop a video game during work hours, a symbolic escape from mundane office life.
