That "music" at the start and end sound more like a simulated tape machine "spinning up" to begin playing.

@crimsyn: The voice sounds familiar because he sounds *remarkably* like Billy West, of Futurama and Ren And Stimpy fame.

So an AIM-hijacking entity is using a file hosting site to share an audio clip, with a mild reference to bees (which lately tend to stink up an ARG)... I'd say no interest until more files are found.

Ayway, the gap between spool-up sound and voice was longer in ILB clips. This one does not sound right in that sense.

It is very much based on ilovebees, in every way.

"Jan" is from Ilovebees
The voice is very similar to Jersey from Ilovebees (like an actor attempting to impersonate him)
The start and end 'wind up and down' sounds are very much the sounds from ilovebees.
The quote from AIM is also a tongue-in-cheek reference to ILB: "Did you know that after a bee stings you it dies? It can also sting you after it's dead. " Quoted from our beloved Durga.
Even the file name follows ilovebees conventions.

There is no debating that this audio is based on ilovebees.

Whether it's a spinoff, extension, arg or whatnot, that is the question. It's all but undeniable that it's not official from 42. The bee reference is likely referring to the idea that someone is now planning to revive the ilovebees story, thus an unofficial spinoff or sequel.

That said, so far that does not ruin its credibility as a potentially good arg if the PMs are on the ball.

The link i mentioned earlier is to "[Trailhead?]The Princess awoke (a.k.a. ILB2 Rip)" as well as rumor threads suchs as "*Now* we can start looking for ILoveBees2" and meta discussions such as "Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery? (ILB2)" -- Enjoy!

[18:14] maxwell1422000: yeah
[18:15] maxwell1422000: it was supposed to be the beginning of a short arg that would eventually lead to a never completed ILB radio drama

[18:19] maxwell1422000: it was an ambitious project that took a turn for the nasty
