:{{blockquote|Smiles brightly, but eyes flick left twice, right once, left again. “Everything is totally unchanged,” the words come evenly. “It’s the same, like always. Nothing to worry about.” Hands tremble slightly while skimming over the changelog for the 3rd… 7th… 25th time. “It’s all completely unchanged.” A wink lingers too long, then another flickers quickly; a bead of sweat traces down a temple. “Nothing has changed. Permaspike is absolutely SAFE here, nothing to ALERT anyone about.” A soft laugh that then cracks, a glance toward the door, fingers tap in three short, three long, three short patterns on the desk before stopping. “The same. Perfectly normal. Like always.”<br><br>Pause. Eyes dart to the corner of the room, then back to the camera. “And if anything had changed” — a chuckle, shifting in the chair, a heel tapping nervously — "I’d be the first to say something. But I haven’t. So clearly… it’s all under control.” A wrist rubbed absently, faint red marks left behind; eyes no longer meet the camera.<br><br>“You know how I am,” added, with a smile too wide, too static. “Always thorough. Everything documented, every line, over and over. Absolutely nothing out of place.” Another shift, blinking too often now. “Even if there was, it wouldn’t matter. What could really go wrong?” Leaning in closer, voice lowering slightly. “Besides, the system… is working. Always working just like it should!” Fingers grip the edge of the table tightly for a beat, then let go, knuckles pale.<br><br>Long blink. A slow, deliberate smile.<br><br>“Just like we rehearsed.”}}
