Department of minor technical inconveniences (MTI).

MTI was created with one idea in mind: Profit.

P r o f i t.

Director Craig Stanton got his position in Antar Corp through listening to people. He was one of the few senior managers in history who wasn’t a founding member or a cut-throat on his way to become a shareholder. People under him respected him, he was faithful to his wife, spend quality time with his children and did E only once at a university party – decades ago, never touching anything stronger than tea in his day to day life.

His ideas didn’t make extraordinary profits, in fact his ideas made ordinary profits. Constant ordinary profits. The genius of Mr. Stanton was that he really paid attention to people, even people like Sean.

The National Care department.

The National care department was set up as a helpline to combat the nation’s deep personal isolation syndrome. The idea was to provide a keen ear to lean onto, to let people vent about the incompetents of their friends, the failings of their families and the idiocy of their co-workers. It was the sympathetic stranger on a park bench, a drop of sunshine on the last mortgage payment, the brief break between the grind. The line was set up on the government budget chaired by a jaded ex-job centre manager with an astoundingly honest character and a collection of lavish hobbies such as horticulture, tea making and church going. Initially, the helpline was a moderate success, or at the very least got the nation to smile more[citation needed], however, after a series of incidents and budget cuts it closed down. The department didn’t leave many records, but we have come upon some transcriptions of conversations from the last month of it’s short year.
