talks about them. But turn off any one of them and
everything above ground stops.

The truth is: it doesn't matter what it stands for.
What matters is what's underneath.
Seven pipes. Seven colors. Seven layers
that run everything you see above ground.
Your personality runs on it.
Your emotions run on it.
Your decisions run on it.
Your body has been running on it
since before you were born.
Something stinks?
Good. That means the system is working.
The nose is pipe number two.
It just told you something is here.
Welcome underground.
