Here, one sees the OBN lobby. Another Earthly Apostle (again with a strangely faded complexion) greets visitors and directs them to the proper floor. This visitor is one of the lucky few. Each year, the ministry selects some of its most faithful (i.e. those who have donated the most money) to visit the ministry for a "resurrection." This procedure is said to be so complete and so enlightening that all who have been subjected to it have given up their earthly lives and elected to live out their existence as a member of the ministry staff. Prior to undergoing the sacred rite, members must donate all of their worldly
possessions to the church, in a confirmation of their complete faith. |

This picture shows the main OBN studio, where Ogel is taping an episode of "Praise the Brick." He is joined by his wife Alacs, and their (rather unbecoming) son Olpud. Currently, Ogel is giving a sermon on the Genesis of the Brick: On the first day, the Brick came into existence and it was good. On the second day, the Brick was joined and augmented by the plate. (Alacs begins to tear up in religious fervor...) On the third day, sloped bricks came into being... On the fourth day, arches were added... On the fifth day, Windows filled many remaining voids (Alacs screams out in ecstasy- "Oh yes Brick, fill my void!") On the sixth day, many special parts came into being... On the seventh day, the $100 dollar printed plate came into existence and the Brick commanded that this plate be distributed to the massed and then redistributed back to Him. Now, you have those $100 printed plates. You must fulfill your destiny and redistribute the wealth back to the Brick. Send your money right now and you will be saved! At this point, the TV screen flashes (888)-555-Brick and the phones begin ringing off the hook. Alacs cries out "Oh Yes, my void is filled! Thank you dear Brick!" |

Up one floor is the accounting department. Ogel doesn't trust banks, so all money that comes in is temporarily stored in the ministry's vaults, until it can be spend on Ogel’s various whims. These two accountants once visited on a school outing from their accounting course. They were so taken with the ministry that they decided to quit school and join up. Since then, they have worked tirelessly, putting in 24 hour days, working non-stop. As with some other ministry employees, these boys seem curiously "white." |

Here, one sees the secret chambers. Zombie technology abounds here. The walls are plated with thick steel to shield out any Alpha Team detection devices. The faithful are brought into the chamber and don the new Zombie-Helm. This apparatus is much smaller than prior zombie conversion technologies used by Ogel. After a "resurrection" in the Zombie-Helm, guests are reborn as obedient zombies, living only to serve Ogel. Around the room are displayed various zombie warheads. Ogel is stocking these up until the day he is ready to launch his vindictive attack against society. Then, they will all pay! |

On the top floor is Ogel's study. Here, Ogel selfishly indulges himself in the secret perversion of non-LEGO brick building. Although LEGO bricks are far superior, Ogel likes to dabble in the sin of other brick brands. Behind Ogel, one can barely make out his wife, Alacs ready for a bit of partying. The young teenager in the center of the photo, named Harry, came with his accounting class some years ago and was fancied by the evil Alacs. In fact, Alacs wanted Harry and his two friends for a little private party. The friends refused and were promptly "resurrected." They are currently serving in the Accounting department. Poor Harry wishes he were a zombie. Hounded by the repulsive, yet frisky Alacs on an hourly basis, he is forced to give into her every whim no matter how disgusting it might be. Ogel tolerates and even encourages the behavior. He cares little for Alacs, beyond her TV appeal and finds Harry’s daily suffering rather comical. |
