The likelihood that they’ll hear anything worth reporting in is near non-existent; but if they do, then supposedly the implications are on the spooky side. The only downside to the job is that listening to silence all day is the perfect condition for hallucinating sounds. Some even go crazy after a few months so we have to rehire new people and send the old ones to . . . you know . . . There was this recent ca—”


Hey! That sounded important
