What happiness for the MolePeople, to have direction from a human being again! Surely Nathan Rourke has learned humility and loyalty to the Corporate Institution during his wanders. I fervently hope he is ready to return to the fold–and bring with him the increasingly disloyal MolePeople.

What of Alison Dalton, Simon Von Hagens, and Theodora Thoreau-Roosevelt? Join us as we step back into the recent past and discover their fate. 

Remember, Policy- there is no future without the Company. There is no life outside. Policies who seek to find meaning outside of HartLife are surely lost. Hear their downfall here, Loyal Policy. Relish it.

Loyal Policies, do not listen to the Hendersonians. They lie, and lie, and lie--these Policies have been corrupted by Outsider notions of Freedom, Independence, and Self-determination. Glean only the truths the Company desires from these True Records, Policies, and no others.

Those who would deface the tower, inside and out, must be punished. The poisonous words of the Hendersonians are just as dangerous- if not more so - as the grapple-cannons of the StormHawks and the mandibles of their Ant allies. Resist the urge to feel any sympathy for these traitors and Outsiders, Loyal Policy- and HartLife will reward you.

Stay tuned after the episode for a special word from Creative Director Clayton Faits about HartLife NFP and the current American political climate.

We apologize that you must hear more of the Outsiders, Loyal Policy. The events contained within this True Retelling of the History of the HartLife corporation may be shocking- that any could even think to threaten the sanctity and safety of our Glorious Tower is horrific. Hold your company-mandated loved ones close, my dear Policies, and don't make a sound- the Outsiders will be defeated. They must be. They must.

Dearest Policies, we know you hesitate to return to the warrens of the MolePeople. Truly, I find them as disturbing as you do. Believe me, though- if you are to preserve the glory of the HartLife Corporation, you must understand all of its True History. Listen closely, Loyal Policies, and learn from the sins of Loamy the MolePerson and her disciples of No.

Remember, Loyal Policy- in the service of the Company, all work is noble. HartLife has invested in you, and so you must invest your thoughts, labor, and even your life back into the corporate good. Without the Company, you are nothing. Serve the Directors.

Welcome back, Loyal Policy, to Our Fair City. Today, we take you to the terrifying Outside, to monitor the progress of that fiendish group of Outsiders, the crew of the downed Lightning Rig StormHawk. With their new chitinous allies and the captive Doctors West and Moro, Elizabeth and Andrew in tow, they make their way towards the Tower---but for what purpose? Find out as the story of Our Fair City...continues.

Each level of the Tower is different. Amenities and environments are tailored to the needs of the Policies who dwell there. Of course the Managerial class requires a greater degree of comfort than tunnel dwelling Policies. How else would our society function? The intricate, careful work of the Vice Presidents, Managers, and other leaders requires a clear head and gentle life.

You would not disturb this careful balance by demanding more than is your due, would you Loyal Policy? Of course not.

Shun the Outsider, Loyal Policy. Their un-businesslike conduct and unguided thoughts will only lead you astray. Even if these Outsiders were once Loyal Policies of the HartLife Corporation- nothing can live outside of our Company's warm embrace.  The Outside is dark, and full of wolves.
