Now it's official - I am seriously creeped out by Henry Case's strange behavior.  I can't tell if he's anxious and upset with<em>me</em>, or just the general situation - but it's clear enough that he's not looking for me to be a scapegoat in the Rift Oculon media debacle.  I should feel more at ease with that realization, but frankly all I really want is to be far, far away from this whole place.<br/><br/>Thankfully, it appears I will be receiving a small concession as Henry stands to lead me out of his office.  I don't know why, exactly, I'm being sent down to the lab, considering I've never really been asked to consult with that group before... but if it gets me away from Case I'm game.  I can vaguely remember taking a tour immediately after being hired at VRS, but those first few days were such a whirlwind very little stuck in my memory.  This area, however, is completely new to me.<br/><br/>Any another time, I might have been insulted that the receptionist has higher security clearance than I do, but it doesn't seem worth questioning at the moment.  It's clear the security system is still glitching, though, since my name doesn't pop up after I'm scanned. At some point today I'm going to have to get that taken care of.<br/><br/>At the moment I'm more concerned with what I'm supposed to discuss with Steve Sluth.  I don't know him at all, and considering the situation with our competitor, I don't know if<em>now</em>is really the right time to start bridging that gap.  I'd really much rather get to my office and start brainstorming with my team.  An awful lot of time has already slipped away this morning.<br/><br/>Steve seems to be at least as concerned about the RO situation as I am.  That's what I'm assuming, anyway, considering the grave looks he gives me.  As comforting as that is, I really don't want to be stuck in someone else's office while they grill me on things that are largely irrelevant to our current predicament. Still, I offer my hand and introduce myself, before taking a step back and folding my arms.  Hopefully, my body language will convey that I simply don't have time for all this chit chat.<br/><br/>"Actually, Steve, I don't know what I'm doing down here.  I'm sure by now everyone has heard about RO's big announcement, and I should probably head over to my office and check in with everyone to determine how we're going to respond."<br/><br/>In an attempt to build some instant rapport, I give him my most exasperated smile and shake my head. "You know what a mess it'll be if the Media group starts issuing press releases and statements with no guidance.<em>Those</em>guys will say<em>anything</em>if they think it'll get us a mention."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Choice:<br/><br/>C.  Make any excuse you can to get out of the lab.
