It's Thursday, which means new a Firebreak Auxiliary Safety Training demonstration! Remedy is back with their third Surviving The Workplace video, this time looking at FBC: Firebreak's Job, Paper Chase. In the mission, employees are tasked with destroying as many sticky notes as possible in an attempt to drive their numbers down. They're like the FBC version of Tribbles, just less cute and more scratchy. The Job culminates with a boss fight with Entity 14-N aka Sticky Ricky.
For today's video, Jerry takes players through the dangers of using the staple of the office stationery cupboard, and shares tips with how to (and how not to) deal with them.
Surviving the Workplace is a new six-part video series published on the Remedy YouTube channel. Centred around their latest launch, FBC: Firebreak, the series is hosted by the Operations bureaucrat Jerry Standish, whose training session takes the form of puppets. It's like a less intense Threshold Kids. You can catch up on the series, HERE.
Watch the full video below or on the Remedy YouTube channel, HERE. Plus scroll down for a transcript of the video.!
Surviving the Workplace | Hot Fix (FBC: Firebreak) Transcript
Jerry Standish: In today's Firebreak Auxiliary Safety Training, we will be creeping ever so gently
into the captivating world of sticky notes. But first, three F.A.S.T. facts about these little yellow buggers, eurgh. F.A.S.T. fact number one! Certain sticky notes around the office have started multiplying. F.A.S.T. fact number two! Some notes can still be trusted, but official FBC guidelines mandate erring on the side of caution. F.A.S.T. fact three! If enough of them make contact with your skin, you will be consumed. Consumed, changed It's not really clear, but you'll die...Well, that's also not really clear. But you will definitely become a violent monster made of paper who kills all their friends. Got all that? Good.
Alex: Hey, is that true?
Jerry Standish: Huh?
Alex: The sticky note thing. Is that true?
Jerry Standish:Yes. Yes, obviously. Now, let's go to the Executive Sector-
Alex: I thought that the other guys were just messing with me. That’s real?
Jerry Standish: Shhhh. Let's go to the executive sectorto see what happens when members of Firebreak encounter a critical job site safety decision.
(The curtains close and reopen on a office scene with three puppets in different Firebreak outfits surrounded by sticky notes. A cardboard Hiss appears at the side, and is quickly taken down.)
Alex #1: Wow. Just look at all these sticky notes. We should keep our distance and kill them. Right, Alex?
Alex #2: Darn tootin, other Alex. If possible, we can soak them with water first, then zap them with electricity.
Alex #1: Blob blob blob!
Alex #2: Zap zap zap zap zap!
Alex #1: Blob blob blob!
Alex #2: Zap zap zap zap zap zap zap!
(A triumphant noise sounds out as the curtains close.)
Jerry Standish: Nice one Alexes! But what if someone else had been in charge? Someone... like Dave.
(The curtains once again close and reopen to the three Firebreak puppets surrounded by sticky notes.)
Dave: Picking up pieces of discarded trash is for vest people on the side of the road. No, I'm just going to run out there and get this over with. Dave CHARGE!
(Dave launches into a pile of sticky notes, and runs away coughing.)
Alex #1: Wow. Did you feel that, Alex? A sudden, ineffable sense of foreboding.
Alex #2: Sure did, Alex.
Alex #2: Dave?
(A sticky note covered Dave stumbles into view.)
Dave: KILL. ME. KILL ME! Arrrgh.
(Dave launches at his fellow Firebreakers as the curtains close.)
Jerry Standish: Rest in pieces, Dave. You hate to see it, folks. You really do... So, remember everyone, when job site danger calls, be an Alex! Not a Dave.
