In the darkness of night, a dog with long droppy ears sits by a crackling fire. It gets up and impatiently pads up and down the room, its eyes feverishly darting around. They eventually rest on his master, hunched over a desk piled with open books. The dog slowly walks up towards it, raises onto his hind legs and turns towards his master, still dilligently scribbling away.
Suddenly, the dog opens its mouth and says:
"What you researching fool?"
Conform. Consume. Obey.
