Ms. Bennet:

We have reason to believe that you are planning an act of mutiny. Our policy explicitly states that this is not allowed. As you may be aware, our company abides by our own rules, and therefore we decide what may happen as a result of a mutiny. We will not initiate these plans, however, if you don't mutiny. As you may imagine, we wish for as little stress as possible in this ordeal and would greatly appreciate it if you abandoned your plans. You have until New Year's Eve to do so.

With a reminder that Takeover Industries has been lacking employees as of late and that we are running low on H-Funding,

We kidnapped God, you guys. I don't think this needs an introduction, I'm just gonna start logging. Watch the cameras back if you really need to know what was physically happening.

Interviewer: Doctor Josh Emmett

Target: Mx. Finn Benji Rose

Dr Emmet: Mx Rose, correct?

Mx. Rose: Hey.

Dr Emmett: I'll be asking you some questions, alright?

Mx. Rose: Yeah, I know.

Dr Emmett: Good. So, what's your name?

Mx. Rose: Finn.

Dr Emmett: What is the last thing you remember before arriving here?

Mx. Rose: Uh… my chest really, really hurt. And I passed out.

Dr Emmett: Do you remember why?

Mx. Rose: I think so.

Dr Emmett: What was it?

Mx. Rose: …Mmmmm, nah.

Dr Emmett: Excuse me?

Mx. Rose: Just… Nah. This'll be on record, right? You sometimes release things to family members or friends to ensure people are fine when they aren't. So my friends could see this, and I don't think I want them to know.

Dr Emmett: …Wh-

Mx. Rose: Sorry. I’m getting ahead of myself- Josh Emmett, right? He/Him? You’re kinda unpopular with the guys here, but you’re fine with that because you’re super introverted? Scared you’re gonna get a demotion, though. Your boyfriend is worried, t-WHOAAAA WHOA WHOA THERE BUD YOU DON’T NEED TO USE THAT THING, WAIT-

Dr Emmett: That’s what I thought, Mx. Rose. So how did you just… die?

Mx. Rose: Uh- I- [Pause.] I saw a picture of Rick Astley. From, uh, the Never Gonna Give You Up music video.

Dr Emmett: Rick Astley. Rick Astley is what killed god.

Mx. Rose: That’s r- GOD?!

Dr Emmett: Sounds pretty familiar. Pretty unlikely, too. Was that an attempt to rickroll me?

Mx. Rose: WH- Oh, shit. No. It wasn’t. I’m serious.

Dr Emmett: Hmm.

Mx. Rose: …

Dr Emmett: Alright, then.

Mx Rose: Thank God.

Dr Emmett: Of course, we aren't done here. Let's see… so. You control what happens to people, correct?

Mx. Rose: Yes.

Dr Emmett: So you know what the fate of everything is?

Mx. Rose: …No. I'm still concepting for some of it.

Dr Emmett: Concepting?

Mx. Rose: You know, like when authors and movie makers are in the early stages of something, they come up with concepts. I still have a lot.

Dr Emmett: …Are you still ‘concepting’ for the fate of this company?

Mx. Rose: Uhhhhhhh… yes.

Dr Emmett: That sounded like a lot of doubt, Finn.

Mx. Rose: That's just how my voice sounds sometimes. Sorry.

Dr Emmett: You're lying. What's going to happen?

Mx. Rose: N-nothing. I don't know yet.

Dr Emmett: What's. Going. To. Happen?

Mx. Rose: …. You're, um. You're going to take over the world. Your plans are working. …Please don't use that. I don't wanna tell you, you're gonna use the knowledge wrooOOOAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Exactly 10 seconds pass.]

Mx. Rose: [Panting] I will fucking retcon you.

Dr Emmett: I'm sure you will. Like any piece of the puzzle can be removed without consequence. You've been talking about the whole world like a story. How much will you have to change to remove me?

Mx. Rose: For you? Not very much, honestly. You're really insignifig- GAH-

Dr Emmett: Don't you fucking dare.

Mx. Rose: [Groaning] Ohhhhhh my god oh my god why did I put it past y'all to torture literal god what the fuck

Dr Emmett: I'm sure you know this already, but the next few days will be much easier for you if you cooperate.

Mx. Rose: [Silence]

Dr Emmett: [Sigh] I think I'll let you back to your cell for now. But don't get cocky. They'll bring you back here for another round soon enough.

Mx. Rose: [Silence]

Dr Emmett: Backup? Calling for guards for…
