A stained whiteboard in a 1994 municipal office, poorly erased with faint ghost lines of a real org chart underneath. Someone has redrawn it in fresh black dry-erase marker. Top: The Manager on a throne with a scepter and a small Greek inscription. Direct line down to a figure labeled "Tacticus — Steward of Alignment" with a tongue emoji. Arrow from Tacticus upward marked "FEEDBACK" double-underlined. Sideways dotted line labeled "Vibes-based Coordination." Bottom margin scrawled: "Performance review: attendance excellent. Independent thought: not filed." Red stamp: "CROSS-REFERENCE — MANAGER'S OFFICE, OPINIONS, CONSENSUS: ALIGNED." Fluorescent light glare on the whiteboard surface. | Brainrot Research
