Bee in a Birdcage

Bee in a Birdcage is the second act in Virtual Virtual Reality. This segment begins after the Tumbleweed segment and starts with a union message. During this act, Bee is given a vacuum to further explore the backstage of Activitude on their search for the Archives.

### "Union" (A/K/A "Union Interruption: Vacuum" or "Meeting the Mentor")

AI is near impossible to please, as Bee serves more clients, their rating only sinks lower and lower. Enter: The Union. Users all over Activitude are working to make their way to HR to reset the system and restore ratings. The Union gifts Bee a vacuum, a tool to escape jobs and assist on their way to HR.

1. On Rift or Quest, click the top button (B or Y) to switch to vacuum tool.
2. Hold down on the top trigger to suck up the Chaz mugs on the left.
3. Hold down on the side grip to restore the flamingos on the right.
4. Press down on the top button (B or Y) to store the vacuum.

3. Hold down on the top half of the touchpad to restore the flamingos on the right.
4. Swipe sideways to stow the vacuum.

### "Butter 2" (A/K/A "Night Snack")

Bee's second time assisting Butter. As soon as the session begins, Butter attempts to find joy in berating Bee, but his efforts are futile. His tone founds flatter, more depressed as he throws half-assed insults and empty praises towards Bee. As his session with Bee continues, it's evident the only way to settle the dairy-laden beast is to use the vacuum.

1. Press the top button or swipe sideways to pull out your vacuum.
2. Vacuum up Butter to ender the staging area.

### "Tina"

Tina is a mechanical claw AI who is interested in researching humans. Your job while working with her is to play house as apart of a simulation. Playtime is soon cut off after Tina gets unreasonably upset over Jerico the ghost's sheet getting dyed red.

1. Select a doll from the selection provided.
2. Select a different doll as your initial choice is rejected.
3. Play house with Tina.

### "Garden 2" (A/K/A "The Tantrum")

After a seeming miscommunication between Chaz and Mr. Sprinkletooth, Bee is once again placed within the garden. In contrast to their first visit, the garden is now cast into darkness and completely in ruins, like a botanical massacre. The pinwheel is whimpering pathetically in the corner, yelling at Bee to clean up the dirt.

1. Equip your vacuum.
2. Vacuum up the pinwheel and his garden.

### "Tumbleweed 2" (A/K/A "West As West Can Go")

Bee once again gets to meet Tumbleweed, now accompanied by his friend and his son, Pete and Lil' Pete. Lil' Pete requests for the machine to move faster and faster, until eventual disaster.

1. Use the leaf blower to blow the three tumbleweeds

or

1. Equip the vacuum using the top button or by swiping on the touchpad.
2. Vacuum up the Tumbleweeds to escape into the staging area.

### "Butter Loop" (A/K/A "Butter AGAIN" or "A Fiend in Need")

Butter requests Bee over and over again, changing up what he's covered in with each meeting ever so slightly. It seems the two have met an accord of sorts. It only makes sense, after all, Butter enjoys being vacuumed and Bee enjoys escaping. The only way to stop the loop is to reach HR.

1. Swipe sideways or press the top button to take out your vacuum.
2. Vacuum up the fiend to escape to the staging area.

### "Elevator" (A/K/A "Going Up?")

While this chapter is not featured on the in-game chapter select menu, it is featured on the Tenderclaws Secret VVR Walkthrough. During this segment, Bee is expected to retrieve a golden key to unlock the locker to the headset printer in the basement level. The first level is vast, blue, and empty. The only thing in sight is an elevator. The second floor contains 16 instances of Chaz, playing ping pong. Careful, Chaz doesn't enjoy being disturbed during his 'me' time. The third floor contains a whirlwind of headsets, and amidst the storm, a singular golden key.

1. Teleport into the elevator.
2. Press the red button to close the elevator's doors. The elevator does not move if the doors are open.
3. Press the white up arrow to go up to Chaz's ping pong room.
4. Press the white up arrow once more to enter the top floor.
5. Reach out and grab the golden key and pull it into the elevator.
6. Close the elevator and click the white down arrow to move to the basement.

### "Stamper" (A/K/A "It's in There Somewhere")

Once a rapid transportation system of Activitude, now simply a machine to produce extra dark expresso for flying headsets. Bee is able to return this printer to it's former glory by using their vacuum tool to rebuild it. By moving the four levers, Bee is able to use this printer to assist on their way to the archives.

1. Using the vacuum tool, fill in the four terminals, connecting wires, and levers to activate the stamper.
2. Using the levers, navigate the grid attached to the stamper.
3. Press the red button to print headsets.
4. Explore through various combinations, try on new headsets, find dead ends, avoid getting caught.
5. If you find yourself underwater next to a massive sunken Chaz head, you're on the right track. Flip the lever down to make the headsets sink.
6. Grab one of the headsets and put it on to enter the laser temple. Grab various Chaz heads and pull them out to be zapped by the others. Once there is one Chaz head left, wait for it to be distracted before quickly pulling on a headset to enter the archives.

### "Whale" (A/K/A "Old Demo Starlet")

Meet Bernice, guardian of the archives and Activitude's past. A former star, she used to star in all of Activitude's tech demos. She wishes to relive her glory days as Bee scrubs her free of barnacles.

1. Teleport to Bernice's right side to get a better view.
2. In the reflective pool, plug in all three cables.
3. Use your vacuum to clean up the barnacles.
4. Bernice will give Bee a headset that leads to Hernandez, which is also accessible from the diorama in the archives.

### "Hernandez" (A/K/A Activate (tm)")

Meet the former CEO of Activitude, a screaming artichoke that loves fantasy football. Hernandez gained control over Latitude after a takeover, transforming it into a VR social travel platform to a social VR chatroom office suite. He seems unaware of his situation in the archives and the fact that Chaz has taken over to rebrand Activate to Activitude.

1. Use the stylus pen to write a memo.
2. Follow his instructions to build out his gym and restore Activate.
3. If you run out of data, return to the stamper to vacuum more data.
4. Pluck pluck pluck.
5. After murdering Hernandez, Chaz will find you and send you back to your labor hub. This will result in the final contact with the Union.
