Sensation Entertainment, Incorporated

Sensation · the Sensation people

The production company steering the narrative, weighing a ninth-floor extension, and able to pull Carl's plug.

Story so far

Sensation is the power behind the storyline Carl and Princess Donut have been written into. Zev reports that production is talking to the Sensation people and that they will try to steer the narrative so the pair are back in a saferoom in time for Odette's show in a few hours — the show's schedule bending the crawlers' route, not the other way round.

Quasar's message sharpens the picture. Sensation has agreed to accept Borant's offer of a ninth-floor extension but is being, in his words, little bitches about it, holding off on signing anything official for a few days. Reading between the lines, his advice is that Carl must make the program more exciting without throwing its star into shadow: if the spotlight on the guest star gets too bright, Sensation may simply decide to pull his plug. Nobody likes it when the guest star gets all the tail.
