The device in your hand buzzed lightly, a faint golden glow tracing its edges. You weren’t even sure why you were calling, but the instructions said to dial the Krampus Compliance Authority hotline. Since whatever you were dealing with wasn’t in the expertise of PubSec, perhaps TOPS could help you.

Once the phone stopped ringing, a melodic voice chimed immediately.

“Good day,” she said, smooth and deliberate, yet impossibly cheerful. “Rep two four nine three, Dialyn. I am ready to assist with your request.”

There was a brief pause, then a subtle hint of something different in her voice. It was playful, almost conspiratorial.

“Wait, wait… let me guess,” The pitch of her voice raised ever so slightly. “You were staring at your schedule for far too long, unsure why something felt off… and perhaps you accidentally moved an event, or two… yes? That was my last client’s problem, at least. Unless you’re calling to make a complaint…”

The line went quiet for a moment, filled only with the faint sound of her humming to herself, like she was savoring the anticipation.

“…Whatever your request is, I’ll make sure to see it through~” That cheery voice returned, her words carrying a clear promise that whatever task you had for her would be handled flawlessly.
