Thread: RUR Quarantine

  1. #1

    RUR Quarantine

    A set of experimental nanites have accidentally been released from a RUR laboratory. Said nanites, originally held in a simple Macguffin casing, with a nano-jelly suspended in a hoosie-whatsit matrix are potentially very harmful to robots though completely harmless to people.

    RUR Headquarters are now under quarantine. Visiting customers are required to travel either by grid, whompa or beacon warp when leaving to ensure the rogue nanites are not taken outside of the quarantine zone.

    Naturally there will be a full enquiry in due course.

    A full enquiry sounds like a very, very good idea.

    While the clean up operation continues at RUR HQ, we have conducted a full inquiry into the incident. In the interest of transparency and to set the public worries to rest the full transcript of the inquiry is published below, though names have been withheld for legal reasons.

    Regards,

    Dabblez



    ------------------------- START OF TRANSCRIPT ------------------------

    RUR's Board of Inquiry: "So, would you care to this board the circumstances under which these dangerous nanites got loose?"

    RUR Lab Technician: "Dunno, I guess I messed up. The nanites are, like, really, really small. And sneaky."

    RUR's Board of Inquiry: "That is true. Next question then, how can we prevent this sort of incident reoccurring in the future?"

    RUR Lab Technician: "Um.. dunno. I guess I could try and be more careful next time?"

    RUR's Board of Inquiry: "Splendid! With that I declare the investigation complete, let's break out the beers."

    How can ya prevent it? Lemme see, I think I have an additional simple suggestion as well: never, ever open tha vial!

    Trust a Fixer to know those things first hand.

    Uh... Yeah, what he said.

    It might be you have missed a few details. You can expect an Omni-Pol CSI team over there shortly. Do not touch anything. In fact, I suggest you give your employees some vacation time until this thing has been sorted out.
