Turn 2<- Turn 1 | Turn 3 ->Try to acquire more information about this matter. Send a letter to those guys to ask for said information.
5. You don't need any more information, actually. You skim over the letter again and realize what had been going on. The font on one of Mayfly's labels made the company name look like MayFly, which got the people at May Fly pretty antsy.
They're a tiny company compared to yours, so you send them a response that threatens typical corporate legal bullying. That should shut them up. You then send an email to someone in marketing and ask them to put a little more curve on the "f" to make it less mistakable. All in all, it was a very productive ten minutes. You leave your desk quite satisfied.
Oh dear. I need a plan. Shutting down all the computers from HR first would help. Unplugging the router too. I can run a virus scan after the meeting.
Wait, is it already ten to? I tell Eustace what must be done and walk to the meeting room.
5. You tell Eustace to shut down all the computers and unplug the router. Completely trusting you, he hurries off to do so before the meeting starts. You follow everyone else to Meeting Room A2.
Get coffee, go to meeting.
6. The people in front of you get their coffee faster than expected and it looks like you'll have time to spare. The people behind you are happy that they're actually going to get coffee before the meeting.
You then use up the last of the coffee, the last of the sugar, and the last of the creamer. You sip your delicious coffee and go to find a seat in the meeting room while everyone who was behind you glares at you and leaves.
Get beer, go to meeting.
5. You crave beer but only know one place to get it. Mr. Kleinsman is preparing for the meeting, so you sneak into his office and open up the mini-fridge. You grab a beer, hide it at your desk, then grab a coffee cup from near the machine (strange, there's no line) and head back.
You pour the beer into the cup and sip out of that, raising minimal suspicion. If anyone asks you'll just say it's some herbal tea from Starbucks. All in all, it was a very productive ten minutes. You leave your desk quite satisfied, beer in hand.
Wait out the meeting room.
4. You head over and wait for the meeting to start.
Group Event: MeetingAll the clocks strike 8:00 except the slow one that's still on 7:58 and everyone finishes getting into the meeting. Mr. Kleinsman is standing at a podium near the front of the room with a few index cards in his hand. His brother Kevin is sitting at the computer behind him managing the powerpoint. The first slide is titled "Office Efficiency".
"The economy is not in the best place right now," Mr. Kleinsman begins. "And our numbers have fallen this quarter. Everyone here needs to do their part to reduce expenses." He continues for nearly half an hour. Someone is audibly snoring in the back of the room.
He begins to read from a slide titled "Reducing Expenditures via Cutting Unnecessary Office Luxuries" that has a clip art picture of a frowning coffee machine on it. His voice begins to sound distorted, and several people in the audience look up for the first time in several minutes.
Those of you that look up see that Mr. Kleinsman's face seems blurred. It bends to the left, then snaps back to where it was, seeming sharper than before. He continues talking as if nothing is happening. His mouth opens wider than should be possible and a glistening white eye is visible inside it. The eye begins to liquefy and drips out of his mouth, flying like spittle from his lips as he speaks around it.
"As you can see," Kleinsman says, "Many commonplace office appliances have a disproportionately low effect on workplace efficiency when compared to their cost to the company." As far as anyone can tell, everything is back to normal.
About a dozen people in the audience look around, doubting their senses. Kleinsman wraps up the meeting without incident and leaves the room to weak applause. Several people examine the area around the podium but find no evidence of anything strange. A couple men from Finance tell their supervisor they're taking a couple hours off and head to a nearby bar. Everyone heading back to HR realizes that their computers are turned off and not working.
