The main character is Mark. This man worked in a company that was engaged in the creation of all kinds of technical devices. For example, gas purifiers and garbage incinerators.

At one time, present in the office and trying to successfully complete his own project, he suddenly felt that he was not alone in the room. For several minutes Mark hesitated to turn around because he assumed that one of his colleagues was standing behind him. When he did so, he saw a «COSTUM» not far from him. This thing, previously unknown to the protagonist, looked like a quite usual strict dress code. But the man was frightened by the fact that it was floating in the air.

Soon he heard his friends laughing. Mark quickly realized that they had decided to make a joke. The protagonist wanted an explanation from Carl about what the «COSTET» was all about. Mark’s comrade began to tell him that the aforementioned robotic technology performs many functions. In particular, it monitors the microclimate in the building.
