Weird... I did get a very strong "9-5" vibe from the way they were going about it? I guess it was because of the compartimentalized and sistematic way they were going about it? ("Hey! Other sector, we've finished our job here, sending you way, ok?" / "Yup, give it to me"), that and their general disposition. Which I assume was 100% what the author was going for...
Jesus christ this shit is good.
