It’s Zen Meditation, don’t you know

Maria: We're doing great work, way ahead of targets, so I've talked it over with Gerry and we'll have a team night out Friday night. Twimii looks nonplussed but Dinah and Pete exclaim: Great!!! Maria:So let's keep up the good work, ok? Pete: Definitely. Maria: Great - twimii where are you with that spreadsheet? Twimii: All done. Maria: Good But we've loads to do so let me know whenever you're done. Twimii: Sure I was just doing some zen meditation first. You know, to get really really focused like.

Maria:In ten words or less - we've all got work to do. Twimii: Alright - well - zen - meditation - or - as - I - like - to - call - it[] Oh no! I ran out of words. Maria looks at Twimii unimpressed. Twimii smile half guiltily. Maria: If I catch you one more time you're getting a warning. Twimii: That's totally fair enough. Maria: OK keep up the good work team.

Dude: (not sure where she got that idea) No. Twimii ponders what they are at for a moment. Twimii: They drug you and force you to work in their factories where they make illegal play-bots for the future alien overlords? Dude is shocked for a moment. Dude: No. Twimii thinks 'and yet he hesitated...' Twimii: So how exactly are they a cult? Dude: Well, they try to sell you their ideas on what a happy successful life is and you can only get it with them. Twimii. Sure by that definition society is a cult. Dude ponders this out loud: Society is a cult... yeah, I like that...
Play bots for the future alien overlords …
