    7.9- The StormHawk Revisited

    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.

    7.8- The Executor

    Everything and Everyone in HartLife has a proper place. When Policies are forced outside of their proper location, all order breaks down.

    Aren't we lucky to have an upstanding and loyal Policy like Executor Teju Valentine to ensure our safety and security? He will surely do whatever is necessary to make sure we are cared for.

    Whatever is necessary.

    7.7 - Orders are Orders

    Loyal Policies- we all have our place in HartLife. The Directors guide us, fulfilling their immortal will as our Founders and Protectors. StreetSafe observes us at all times, making sure we are true in action to what resides in all of our hearts. The Actuaries prognosticate, prophesying the continued success of the Company as its will resounds through the ages.

    It is a M.O.L.E.'s job to serve, to follow orders, and to obey. Nothing else. Listen with horror as one M.O.L.E. violates this sacred dictum, with terrifying results.

    7.6 - Family Road Trip

    Loyal Policies- there is no chance for a fulfilling life outside of HartLife. Whatever you may hear in these recordings today- know that all Outsiders, whatever security or peace they may appear to have created for themselves, will die cold, lonely deaths in the frozen wastes outside our walls. The Outside is dark, and full of wolves. The Outside is dark, and full of wolves. The Outside is dark, and full of wolves.

    Loyal Policies- the truth can be a hard algae-pill to swallow. No matter how you may feel about the villainous, disloyal Policies confined to the Cube, do not be swayed. Their re-education is just. Their treatments are mandated. Their care is rationally considered and metered to restore them to peak functionality and efficiency. They have forgotten their place within HartLife. Do not forget your
