Jordan clapped her hands for her team's attention. "Okay, everyone!" She clapped again and kept clapping until the eight of them stopped talking. "Okay! Leo, Marybeth, time to focus. Right. We have a full day of team-building exercises ahead of us, and I'd like to get started." She gestured around what looked like an elementary school gymnasium redesigned for the corporate set. "There'll be some athletic challenges later, but first we have the group memory challenge and the escape room. Uma, will you stop rolling your eyes at me? Yes, Cal?"

Cal lowered his hand. "C'mon, we all know this is bullshit, right?" He looked around at his colleagues, who murmured noncommittally. "Whatever." He crossed his arms.

Jordan gritted her teeth. "Let's look at the memory challenge." She gestured to another part of the room, where six chairs sat in a circle facing outward. "You'll get random numbers, and the group has to work together to remember as many as possible."

"There are only six chairs," Cal said. "What, Ergodyne didn't pay enough to seat all of us?"

Jordan smiled. "Did I forget to mention? Before the team-building exercises, we have the team-culling exercise." Her smile grew into a grin.
