Summary
Following the acquisition of Aumar Technology Group by Ascension, Astarion gets saddled with managing the worst product imaginable: a smart bed. To make matters worse, the lead engineer, Gale Dekarios, is a thorn in his side.
Gale feels much the same now that he works under the clueless and tempestuous Astarion Ancunin who doesn’t know the first thing about engineering. They are constantly butting heads, and now have to create a ridiculous product no one asked for.
When Cazador sends them off to the Faerun Electronics Expo and Trade Show (FEETS for short) to demo the smart bed, things quickly go awry— and so does any professionalism between them.

Summary
Gale and Astarion work at a large tech company, RuneForge, where every day is vexing for one reason or another.
One way to find a respite? Well, you can take advantage of the company's so-called Tranquility Room. Whether for meditation, taking a nap, or, well, naughtier activities.
