The Tour of the New HQ Part II

Tour of SWAT HQ, PART II

A medallion graced a podium on top of a large black box. On it lay a famous medallion painted by Michelangelo himself for the Sistine Chapel. Its presence was explained by a blue ribbon wrapped around the medal, which read 'Congratulations on your New Establishment from the Vatican'.
I could not take a picture of the medallion since photography wasn't allowed in the training area. I had to resort to Google instead for a picture.
In the establishment to the right, several vintage arcade machines resided. I later learned our staff had customized the machines, which must have cost a lot without counting the money that was needed to procure it at auction. Then I realized that the machine hosted the game Shutterstock. The Shutterstock company had grown from a one-game industry to a firm that had domination over several video games and vintage pictures. Their earliest game, also named Shutterstock, would've cost at least a million.
This machine hosts the game Shutterstock, a classic 1980s multiplayer game.
A classic red TV was also present. However, many staff complained that it only showed black and white and had no controls. This is because an HR decided that it was too distracting for employees so he cut off all the controls and only let it show black and white silent movies. A multitude of workers had just left for their afternoon shift so the area was still littered with garbage. Very inconsiderate, since there was a garbage can just beside them.

Inside the bar area, Danie the waitress greated me and told me how she regretted that I had missed the opening party. Being the kind lady she was, Danie gave me a portrait that a famous artist had painted of her during the opening party that I was not able to attend.
Danie was not happy to pose for almost two hours while the artist finished his picture.
There was a mirror in the back of the bar area but it was badkly damaged when a mob of drunk guests threw themselves against it as a way of impressing Mademoiselle Danie. Since then, Mme. Danie covered the glass up with several gifts from her friends at 7-11.
