"Aw shit, we better get out of here before we get shot."
Quickly and quietly take my cart and the rat man and get out of the house and off the property, then once we're far from the house and no ones following us look for an actually abandoned house to look inside of.
[1d6 = 1]
You realize that this house is not actually abandoned, and that as a general rule most houses are not abandoned. You about-face, saying “Aw shit, we better get out of here before we get shot.”
You hear the sound of a shotgun cocking behind you, as a man with a Southern accent says “I reckon it might be a mite too late for that. Put yer hands up. And you, guy in the fursuit. Put yer hands up too.”
”What kinda whackjob wears a fursuit while tryna’ burglarize someone?” he mutters under his breath.
How about "Reduced overshoot consequences for personnel recruitment actions until the assemble senior staff goal is completed?"
The action would be to add the additional staff, equipment, and facilities to finish the partly-operational Genetics lab. I'll check on the missing paleontologist next turn.
Also, the desired reward for the genetics lab is to remove the need to spend a turn turning recovered fossils into genetic material. It might not succeed, it might require more genetic material, etcetera, but I'd like to remove that one turn step from the process of turning fossils into live dinosaurs. If the goal isn't appropriately priced for that reward, could I change it to one that is?
(Done.)
[1d6 = 3]
The genetics laboratory is, honestly, pretty bare-bones. But it has staff and equipment and dedicated facilities, and those can be improved over time. It is, at the very least, functional.
(
Goal “Finish Genetics Lab” completed. You may add up to two goals. You may remove up to one goal.)
(Done.)
(Zucker finding a candidate for Chief of Operations: [1d6, 1d6 = 1, 1])
Zucker has not settled into his job very well. Considering the amount of time it’s been, it’s completely ordinary that he’s only interviewed one candidate, but that interview apparently didn’t go well at all. According to Zucker, the candidate knew absolutely nothing about being a Chief of Operations and, to boot, was likely a spy from another corporation.
Attack the antivirus software, either try deleting it or try to make it think I’m supposed to be in the TF2 folder
[1d6 = 3]
You’re no ASI, but fooling an antivirus program - especially when you yourself are a program - isn’t too hard. Essentially, all you have to do is give yourself a “fingerprint” marking you as part of TF2, and the antivirus program is pacified. Probably a good idea to move back to TF2Sniper’s computer now.
"WELL... THAT'S FINE. I HAVE HEARD THAT TRUE AMERICAN STEEL IS A POWERFUL METAL, STRENGTHENED BY THE WILL POURED INTO IT BY THE SMITHS. WE SHALL THUS GO BACK TO AMERICA TO ACQUIRE SOME."
[1d6 = 4]
You and the SWOLEBROTHER take a plane back to the continental U.S., back to your home city. You don’t know whether or not there are any smiths of TRUE
AMERICAN STEEL there, but you can always take another flight if not.
Attempt to communicate all I know.
[1d6 = 5]
Thanks to the power of written language, you quickly communicate the sum of your knowledge about your circumstances - which, sadly, is not much - to your husband. What will you do now?
I knock the front door.
[1d6 = 1]
You stand inside your house, looking at your front door. Hmmm. What does one even do with a door when they want to get through it?
They… knock on it? And… wait for someone on the other side to open it?
You knock on your front door, and wait patiently for someone to open it. You wait less patiently. You wait impatiently. It’s clear that the polite approach isn’t working.

(Naturegirl1999)
Name: TestProgram.exe
Description: I don’t have what one would call an appearance. I’m a program within a .exe file. My “personality” was made through going to the Internet and figuring out what one even is. From what I can gather, personalities are never static. While learning via the Internet, someone deleted an iteration of me while someone else downloaded me. This resulted in me being where I am now, what the human calls a “gaming computer”. This human’s name is TF2Sniper, according to what I hear. He also mentions a game, Team Fortress 2, which he apparently uses to interact with other humans. I’ve tried to play when he’s not there, but I was never given the controls, or arms. TF2Sniper hasn’t opened me yet. I’d love to talk with him
Current goal(s): Initiate communications with Tf2Sniper, the user of the computer I am now in (Short Term, Medium), Get the abilities required to play the game TF2Sniper plays(Medium Term, Hard)
Capability: Baseline plus: all rolls related to software are made with the capability of a world-class programmer.

Capability: Baseline plus: all rolls related to physical strength are made with the capability of a world-class strongman.
Apologies for the delay. I should have had this turn done several days ago, but my winter break just ended and it’s been hard to adjust.
Also: I’m chuckling at Zucker’s roll. I expected that it would take several turns for him to find a good candidate by himself, but I didn’t expect the worst possible result to happen.
