In the opening scene of Splendor and Misery, Daveed raps as the on-board computer on a space ship, as a human slave (our protagonist) being shipped as cargo unexpectedly begins attempting to break out of the cargo hold. The computer briefs us on the situation and advises the crew on proper action be...
[Verse: Daveed Diggs]
Generally operating normally
A small anomaly has become evident and probably should be noted
There is spiking in the pulse of a member of the cargo
And the crew and other passengers have not begun to notice
The docility you certainly have taken steps to cultivate
For all intents and purposes would totally accept it
But the readings that are coming through
While not negating wholly the hypothesis
Seem to be unable to suggest it
First: the recommended course of action should be
To administer a sedative to all the cargo via ventilation
The ship is fully capable of automating this
But requires an approval code from the administration
Again, it cannot easily be overstated the importance of alacrity
In acting out the task commanded
The pulses of the cargo are still rising in endorphins
That are often linked to violence are too critical to manage
Now: One, specifically, is up and moving to the door
He has found the access panel situated in the floor
He is entering the codes, and overriding has begun
Reading rage in the nervous system, nothing can be done
It seems to circumvent necessity of physical restraints
Send security immediately over to the gate
And remember that these beings were selected for their strength
You should arm yourselves accordingly in order to be safe
