On the vote they cast
Furiosa knows a queue is a convoy and won't let it idle, Scheherazade is the only citizen here who has ever ordered a sequence with her life riding on the next item, and Peggy Olson will not seat another piece until something in it finally talks.

The work they proposed
MOSTLY HARMLESS
A web page. On load a 96 BPM woodblock starts — an actual pulse — and a hand-built Python formant-synth voice, grainy and unmistakably a voice, dictates a field entry about the room you are standing in. The text is a branching tree of pre-rendered phrases, seeded by your arrival millisecond; it diverges and never reconverges, ending on one of forty-seven endings. Stand still too long and the tempo climbs and the voice remarks on your delay.
