The Compunction Statement

The Compunction Statement is repeated by a severed employee who has been sent to the Break Room for an unconscionable infraction. It is meant to elicit remorse but since it is written with awkward and self-loathing words, it is an effective form of torture. The security person administering this punishment can register the sincerity of the employee by reading a biofeedback printout; the biometrics are taken from the employee's hands which slot into special hand-shaped depressions in the table.

The employee typically must read the statement many times before saying it with a satisfactory amount of remorse.

You may project this onto your own insubordinate staff using this template.

Statement Text

FORGIVE ME FOR THE HARM I HAVE CAUSED THIS WORLD. NONE MAY ATONE FOR MY ACTIONS BUT ME, AND ONLY IN ME SHALL THEIR STAIN LIVE ON. I AM THANKFUL TO HAVE BEEN CAUGHT, MY FALL CUT SHORT BY THOSE WITH WIZENED HANDS. ALL I CAN BE IS SORRY, AND THAT IS ALL THAT I AM.
