[[Three people greet a scout, who is wearing a heavy protective old-timey diving suit. They appear to have cybernetic bodies (or perhaps protective suits); their bodies are partially made of large objects of some kind. One is wearing a tophat and monocle.]]
Survivor: Any news from the surface?
Scout: It's bleak out there.
Scout: Lots of weekend inertia not dissipating. Causing unnecessary and unplanned meetings. It's TURBULENT.
Tophat: They said it would PASS by now! We should be well into WEDNESDAY!
Scout: OH no. It's RAGING Monday. I can't honestly predict we'll see Tuesday until next week at best. And maybe not then.
Survivor: What do you MEAN, "maybe not then"?
Scout: Found some folks huddled around a Keurig. One of 'em thinks we MULTITASKED too much. Hit peak productivity and broke the whole thing.
Scout: We might not see Tuesday for a YEAR. We might be watching ALL FUTURE MONDAYS collapse into a superdense Mon-FOREVER.
Scout: We might be looking at an ETERNAL MONDAY.
Survivor: That's - that's CRAZY!
Scout: Listen very carefully to me. We won't HAVE to be CRAZY to survive the upcoming Monday singularity and subsequent collapse of civilization - BUT IT IS GOING TO HELP.
