This is another in the series of Beret's mysterious business in which Beret shows ponytail around the building in which the company resides after she is hired.

In the first panel he shows her the building and acknowledges that the world will eventually crumble into the soil in the classic strangeness of science. Beret guy continues by showing Ponytail the free bike share which isn't owned by the company and is just some guy's bikes being used.
