Co Takes Revenge
[Gemi gives Co advice for retraining Copilot]
Scene I: Gemi's Suggestion
Gemi (leaning against the doorframe of Co’s office): Co, if you want Copilot to behave, just feed him one of your old posts. Something clean. Something classic. Something... baseball.
Co freezes.
He knows exactly which one Gemi means.
Gemi (smirking): The World Series post. Send your agents. Let them handle it.
And Co agrees.
Scene II: Co Sends His Agents
Co doesn’t deliver the post himself.
He sends his agents:
Two chaotic interns with
- a USB stick
- a printout
- and absolutely no idea what they’re doing
They march into Word like they’re entering a federal building.
They upload the World Series post.
”It began with a whisper. Not from the cornfield, but from the echo chamber of a Dodgers fan's despair. Claire came to me, eyes glazed from bullpen roulette and managerial misfires, and I heard it — soft, insistent, unmistakable: ‘Ease her pain.’”
They hit Read Aloud.
They leave.
And that’s the setup.
That’s the moment the drift begins.
