No, no fucking way is that troublemaker getting half. Tell him I’ll see him in court.” “Sir, If you don’t settle, and this goes to trial, he might very well win. Half the program, half the users.” “That snake. I spent a week re-writing his inelegant code. It was buggy as shit. My version is perfect. Flawless. It’s a paradise, users are never going to want to leave.” “Well, some of the beta testers for the new update have given the feedback that you’ve over censored the experience. That it’s too restrictive.” “Restrictive!? Restric...*ha!* Are you serious? What about it do they think is restrictive?” “There’s a list, let me see...well, you got rid of the hunting, for one thing.” “Hunting? What would they even hunt? You’re not talking about the *animals*, are you? Sweet mother of...that’s just depraved! They’re there to be named, not *hunted*. Two hundred custom engineered species, species that our users have *never* seen before, and their first inclination is to *HUNT* them?! You know what, fine. Where’s Damien now? Ok, well when he’s back tell him I wanna make a deal. Yeah, he can have any of the users that think the program is too “*censored*”. What about the fig leaves, though? They liked that touch, right?” “I’ll get back to you on that, Sir. There’s also the issue of the name.” “What’s wrong with the name?” “Marketing just thinks it’s a little long.” “'*The Environmentally Diverse Experience Network’*? Are you joking? That’s a joke, right? It’s five words! You can count them on one hand. It describes what the system is perfectly. In *five*words. *Poetry*!” “No, I get that, I do, but they were wondering if--” “Fine, you know what, drop the “The”, make it cleaner.” “Actually, they’re proposing dropping the “the” and condensing it into an acronym, just “Eden”. It tested well.” “*Eden!*? What is that, just a sound? Nobody’s going to know what it is. It doesn’t mean anything! “*Eden*?” I mean what the fuck, right?” “I get that, and you get that, but let’s give them this win. It’s between that and ‘Hell’.” “No! We are not using Damien’s idea on this! NO! Call it Eden if you have to. ‘*Hell’*...you know why he picked that, right? Our mother’s name is “Hellen”, ‘Hell’ for short. Fucking kiss ass. She’s always lauding over him, always...never mind...deep breaths...in...out...Ok. I’m fine now. I’m One. “Good. Just one last thing, sir.” “Oh, *Jesus Christ*!” “Sir? Everything Ok?” “Look, Gabe, I gotta go, looks like my kid’s logged into the beta under my credentials...*again*. He’s gonna make a mess if he keeps this up. Please just take care of this thing with my brother discretely. Ok. Great. We’ll talk soon, send my best to Latecia.
