7 people nervously watched 1 man in the middle of the production room. He had been watching the video as woman stood next to him holding a smart pad. She snapped to the pad and began fidgeting with it as he turned to rest of the room, he breathed in deeply. Everyone sitting in their work station were on the edge of their seats, months of work just for this moment.

"I LOVED IT!" The man threw his hands in the air raising everyone worries away.

"HOW MANY PEOPLE SAW THE ADVERTISEMENT STEPHANIE?!"

The woman to his side flipped the screen toward him, "over 1 trillion unique screens had aired it and over 35 billion unique visits to our site so far."

"IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A MINUTE YET!!!!!!!!!"

The rest of the room let out a massive sigh in relief.

"Steven, Stephanie, Esteban, Steve, Stevie, and Stefan, thank you all for your hard work making this happen. I can't wait for the results of the upcoming thousands of commercial spots we'll be bombarding everyone with, this'll be my greatest show yet. Esteban, how's the contestants?"

The man quickly turned to his work station and clicked quickly on his computer, "The guest seem to causing some trouble señor"

"Figures. Stevie, how's the island?"

"Well there seems to be a..." the man cut himself off abruptly. "Eh-Everything's in order sir, it'll be perfect for the event."

"Good good. We wouldn't want anything to be causing me trouble now would we, Stevie?"

"n-No sir."

The previous air of levity quickly emptied the room. The Crew looked at each other subtly but didn't express any emotions. The long silence was cut by a speaker turning on in the room.

"Boss, you're needed in the Holding Floor. The contestants are becoming unruly."

"AH! Duty calls, busy busy busy." He turned and walked towards the elevator in the room. He pressed a button and entered the elevator as it opened. He turned back to the Crew, "Now I suggest all of you quadruple check everything for the upcoming show. Stephanie, please inform my wife that she'll be needed at the Holding Floor."

"At once, Mr. Phane."

The doors closed descending him down below.
