The Hunt for Frederick Langston's Office

"You know, I was in the Investigations Sector when it was evacuated.
Well, not THERE there.
I was in Executive because they have the best snack machines.
You may think they’re all there because of that plain white packaging,
but there’s a difference.
You know those thick ruffled potato chips?
They're my favorite.
All the machines outside Executive carry those flimsy little thin chips.
They have no texture.
I may as well eat cardboard."

- Frederick Langston, from Control

From his dialogue over the speaker in the Investigations Sector, it is heavily implied that he worked there before Hartman escaped. 

"Anyway, I get back to the elevator and they tell me the sector is being evacuated.
They wouldn't even let me go back in for my stuff!
Can you believe that?
I worked at that desk for years!
I had photos on it, my favorite stapler,
one of those good ones that could staple a 50-page report no problem,
a little cash, and some, uh, personal recordings."

- Frederick Langston, from Control

Among other things left behind, Langston mentions his personal recordings. The two recordings in question are "Langston: Me and You," and "Langston: Freestyle". Both of these mixtapes were found in the Shifted Offices. Featuring Langston himself, he dubbed these as "experimental music slash poetry" pieces.
