I love the sing-a-Long. (Also, as an aside, send a fire truck to the snakebite. It’s a wonderful bit of writing that gets me every time.) My current theory is that Manager 13 is a self-aware AI trying to master the “replace human operators” flaw by studying a real operator in different situations. (The player is the real operator here.) Jensen set everything up and is monitoring as well as tweaking situations by direct intervention. (Remember Morse said anyone can appear to be anyone?) So the call interrupts are either Jensen or the AI breaking in to real life and uncontrollable calls. The cats and Watchers are an extension of the AI and Jensen. I haven’t quite sorted out the mist, but I’m leaning towards an extreme way of controlling callers. I have no idea ho Morse fits in. Maybe he was actually part of JoinDispatch prior to the AI? Anyway, that’s my working theory.
