Mr Smith scratches the side of his head.
Mr Smith: Did they? I can't imagine why, unless you have a particular interest in public relations. Most of my staff were brought in from outside Neo-Illusion, so I've been trying to help them integrate with the aid of some innovative teambuilding exercises. I'll admit, results have been mixed so far, but I'm optimistic about our plans for the future.

Mr Smith nods again.
Mr Smith: My employer was generous enough to provide me with the resources and personnel required to set up this department - and it's coming along very nicely, if I do say so myself. As for the teambuilding exercises, they're a mixture of entertaining yet informative activities intended to raise morale and promote synergy amongst the Neo-Illusion family! You probably heard about the giant Tyrantum incident a few days ago. Management got their knickers in a twist over that one, but I personally think it was a sterling example of company cooperation.

Mr Smith claps his hands together.
Mr Smith: Exactly! It was interesting. I like to think that's what sets us here at Neo-Illusion apart from our competitors - we're unpredictable and unconventional. We think outside the box instead of just following the Evil Team Textbook. I have something similar in mind for our next exercise, actually. All I need to do is find out where I can get hold of a mecha Tyrantiar...

Mr Smith turns back to the massive pile of files on his desk.
Mr Smith: So, was there anything else you wanted? I'm afraid there's not much I can do about your relative inexperience at present - I'd have my secretary give you the orientation presentation, but Janis is still out running errands and I can't for the life of me figure out this new-fangled operating system all the computers run on. What was wrong with version number 8, exactly?

Mr Smith nods without looking back at Kerberos.
Mr Smith: That they do. Not any one place in particular, mind. My employer casts a wide net when searching for talent. Diversity is very important to us, and so we recruit employees from all backgrounds and cultures as long as they have the can-do spirit that's come to exemplify our company ethos.

Mr Smith shakes his head vigorously.
Mr Smith: No no no, my other employer. You might say I'm merely on loan to Alys. Though "Galvantula Girl" is certainly an amusing nickname. I might just have to use it in my next company-wide memo. It'll help to create the informal, friendly atmosphere I'm hoping to cultivate here in the office.

Mr Smith turns to Kerberos and smiles at them in his typically artificial manner.
Mr Smith: All you need to know about my employer is that their cheques are like bricks: they don't bounce.
He thinks for a moment.
Mr Smith: ...Unless you drop them on a trampoline, that is. Now that I think about it that simile worked a lot better in my head. Still, the point is that there's a lot of opportunities on offer for an enterprising go-getter ready to grab them with both hands.

Mr Smith nods at Kerberos. If he considers anything about his guest to be odd, he doesn't show it.
Mr Smith: That would be me. Sadly, my lovely secretary is out of the office at the moment, so I have to handle all the busywork myself. I can't complain, though. It's like I've always said, hard work is the food of the soul! Anyway, I'm fairly new here, so I haven't quite learnt everybody's name yet. You are...?
