    7.16: The Old Man

    Loyal Policies, do not listen to the Hendersonians. They lie, and lie, and lie--these Policies have been corrupted by Outsider notions of Freedom, Independence, and Self-determination. Glean only the truths the Company desires from these True Records, Policies, and no others.

    7.15- Blood for Blood

    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. Content Warnings for this episode can be found here.  A special note- this episode has several fairly intense moments, so if you have concerns we strongly recommend reading the content advisories before listening.

    7.14- Hostile Negotiations

    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.

    7.13- The Labor of Lies

    Dearest Policies, we know you hesitate to return to the warrens of the MolePeople. Truly, I find them as disturbing as you do.

    7.12- Down the Drain

    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.

    7.10- A Series of Inspired Follies

    Each level of the Tower is different. Amenities and environments are tailored to the needs of the Policies who dwell there. Of course the Managerial class requires a greater degree of comfort than tunnel dwelling Policies. How else would our society function? The intricate, careful work of the Vice Presidents, Managers, and other leaders requires a clear head and gentle life. You would not disturb this careful balance by demanding more than is your due, would you Loyal Policy? Of course not. Content Warnings for this episode can be found here.
