> ANALYST: Take your briefcase with you! You never know when you might need [briefcase contents] to keep the CREATURE safe!

To be fair, you came in here specifically for the BRIEFCASE.

> Analyst: Get to the irradiation chamber already.

She's on the case, boss. Sliding her COMPANY KEYCARD on the KEYCARD LOCK, she opens the BLAST DOOR and heads into the HALLWAY outside.

> Next.

Seems the NEW HIRE is smoking a cig out here. Conveniently in front of the FLOOR PLANS she was meaning to check out. Not for her sake, obviously, she's worked here for 10 years, but rather, for OURS.

It seems the NEW HIRE is looking this way.

@Guffy thank you so much for the music it sounds great!!!!! :D

i may open a HSquest fanart/fanmusic thread.. i may need some music in the future. /WINK

> ANALYST: CONFRONT the NEW HIRE so that we may perceive the FLOOR PLANS

i'm definitely intending to write more !! i am loving this quest a Lot......

> ANALYST: CONFRONT the NEW HIRE so that we may perceive the FLOOR PLANS She approaches the NEW HIRE with a casual "hey what's up."

> Next.

In response, the NEW HIRE goes on an unprompted 3-minute rambling session about their favorite CREATURES OF MYTH.

> Next.

God dammit, why does this always happen.

> Next.

They wordlessly wander back to the end of the room and try to avoid eye contact.

Okay. Well. Now we can look at the floor plans, I guess.

> Next.

Seems its either go through the OUTSIDE, LOBBY, and finally the LAB to end up in the IRRADIATION TEST CHAMBER FACILITY, while dealing with many AKWARD CO-WORKER ENCOUNTERS, or cut through OFFICE SPACE 1.

The latter seems implausible at the moment because THE ANALYST does not possess the LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE required to pass through the RESTRICTED BLAST DOOR.

Everything takes so long in this damn place.

>start a TORRID LESBIAN AFFAIR with the new hire

> better head outside then

>Nerds are hot, the new hire is hot, is it not obvious what must happen?

> Politely offer the new hire some deodorant.
> What the hell is a phtislaboratory?
> NEW HIRE: Remove training weights from cargo pockets. Unleash full potential.

> What the hell is a phtislaboratory?

HERE'S A HINT, BOZO.

Polite answer: a portmanteau between PHITISIS and LABORATORY. Come to think of it, that's not a portmanteau at all, that's just two words smushed together. MOVING ON.

>start a TORRID LESBIAN AFFAIR with the new hire

Oh geez. Oh man. The NEW HIRE is burning up just thinking about it. WHAT, ME? WITH HER?

The ANALYST does not seem to mind or even notice this SAPPHIC SUBPLOT.

> NEW HIRE: Remove training weights from cargo pockets. Unleash full potential.

DETACHABLE POCKETS. Who thinks of this stuff, anyways?

The NEW HIRE loses 0.0001% WEIGHT. (The pockets were empty.)

She is no longer OVER-ENCUMBERED.

> NEXT!!

Now it's time to slide in and- oop she moved ok abort abort

> ANALYST: Take the long route to the IRRADIATION TEST CHAMBER FACILITY. Hopefully we find some sort of clearance by the time we go to far, perhaps...

*too far

typos be Damned

>NEW HIRE: Prepare to follow THE ANALYST for like 90% of the story so you can build up the courage to ask to go out with her.

[Hi everyone. HEADSCRATCHER QUEST is on a BRIEF HIATUS as I urgently move into a new apartment and gather some money to replace my PC. I'm sorta dissatisfied with my current work environment because I have to work on this on my PHONE which is very stupid and time consuming.

TRUST THE PROCESS. WE'LL BE BACK BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.]

i am waiting PATIENTLY with my hands folded in my lap :)
