Chad Avalanche Steps In For New FBC: Firebreak F.A.S.T
[Episode Six: Freezer Duty]

The sixth episode of FBC: Firebreak's Surviving The Workplace series is now available out, with new puppeteering shenanigans!

This time, long-time presenter Jerry Standish has stepped aside for Chad Avalanche, a skiing enthusiast, bearing an eerily familiar face. Together with Alex, they explore the final (for now) FBC: Firebreak job listing, Freezer Duty, discussing what Firebreakers should and shouldn't do while exploring the Whitebank Resort hanger.

In the mission, players are tasked with destroying frost anomalies across the two zones, using a hot-fixed space heaters. The Job culminates in appeasing AI67, a perturbed ski lift which demands a human-shaped sacrificed. Fortunately, that's what the mannequins are for. 

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 delightful puppets. It's like a less intense Threshold Kids. You can catch up on the series, HERE.

Surviving the Workplace | Freezer Duty (FBC: Firebreak) Transcript

Chad Avalanche: Whoa! Yo, dudes! I'm Chad Avalanche, filling in for Jerry Standish, and in today's cool Firebreak Auxiliary Safety Training, we'll be boarding the Black Diamond into the not-so-chill world of frost anomaly safety. But first, three F.A.S.T. facts about the frost...

Chad Avalanche: F.A.S.T. fact one! Frost anomalies are wicked cold! F.A.S.T. fact two. Walking inside of frost anomaly is no bueno. F.A.S.T. fact three! Frost anomalies are exclusively caused by AI67, conditional upon prolonged periods of unsatisfactory ritual maintenance. Now, how about we shred down to the Whitebank Resort hanger to see what happens when Firebreakers face down a gnarly job site safety situation.

(The curtains close and reopen to a different scene. All three Firebreakers are around a box of misting dry ice as Alex #2 takes down a nearby Hiss.)

Alex #1: Brrr! Wow. That anomaly sure looks cold. You see anything we could heat it up with, Alex?

(Alex #2 reemerges with a small box-shaped device with three flames blazing out from the sides.)

Alex #2: Sure do, Alex. A portable space heater! This thing definitely isn't up to code, but sometimes a Firebreaker just has to work with what they've got.

Chad Avalanche: Righteous work! I think it’s time-

(Chad's winter hat falls off.)

Alex: Hat! Hat!

Chad Avalanche: What? What? Oh.

Chad Avalanche: All right, gang, it's time we bail back to Whitebank and put Dave in charge to see what-

Alex: Here, I got some tape.

Chad Avalanche: Shut, shut (initially whispering and then louder)...to see what happens!

(The curtains close once again and return to Firebreakers. Dave is nearing the frost anomaly)

Dave: Oh, hey, a ski resort! This place reminds me of wintering in Zermatt, Switzerland, across my overly privileged childhood.

Alex #1: Well... that's cool, Dave, but you probably shouldn't get any closer to that anomaly.
Nonsense!

Dave: Everyone knows that a sharp blast of cold boosts circulation and locks in natural oils.

(Dave wanders into the heart of the anomaly, and emerges moments later covered in icicles.)

Dave: Whoa! Brrr. Brrr. 

Alex #1: Hiss! Dave! Shoot it!

Dave: I can’t... lift... gun...  in... time! 

(The Hiss launches forwards and attacks Dave.)

Dave: Oh God! Oh, my limbs! I’m being torn apart. My limbs are surely broken! Oh my God!

Chad Avalanche: Whoa! Totally bogus. Well, everyone, I'm Chad Avalanche filling in for my bro Jerry Standish. And remember, everyone, when jobsite danger calls be an Alex, not a Dave.

(A board rises up with the familar sign, "The Bueau shall not be held liable for any life insurance claims, personal inury claims, or related liabilities arising from or associated with conduct classified as "Being a Dave" as defined by the applicable Bueau standards and guidelines.")

Chad Avalanche: Eww. Chad Avalanche hates legal jargon!

Jerry Standish (Off Screen): No, we actually we should... we have to show the legal.

(Chad puts his hand on the sign and poses)

Chad Avalanche: Yeah.
