"I'll be riiight back." You need some time to dwell on your little chat with Ashton. You head back to the computer so you can have a little chitchat with FET. You boot up CPPQUEST so you can send him a quick message.

"thank you for yesterday."

He responds almost immediately. "no probelm felLow HUMAN I helP my marrow humans. me and you, human beings, we must PROTECT each othre."

"don't want non-humans to hurt you no no no!!! espeilly [REDACTED] wait hy can't i"
"nvermind plz have good day."

That's the end of his message. Well, at least FET is doing his best to be a good ETF human. God bless his weird parasitic anomaly heart. Welp, you suppose it's time to enjoy your free time.

You have enough free time to do three things but, instead of deciding everything at once, you'll focus on what you'll do FIRST. One thing at a time.

What's the first thing you want to do with your free time, Vincent?
>Go to the cafeteria. Feed your Harvester, eat some slop, chat with your friends. (Gives you some time to bond with Ashton and the MAN.)
>Wander around, see what you can stumble across. (RANDOM ENCOUNTER. Could be good, bad or plain old weird. Due to the MAN being in your party, the odds are slightly better than usual.)
>Check up on FET. You want to hang out with your 'fellow human'.
>Check up on Liz. Something tells you she might be doing something stupid right now.
>Head down to HUMAN RESOURCES. You want to learn some more specifics about ARC, what your upcoming promotion actually entails, etc etc.
>Search for that 'ARCHIVE' room the MAN told you about yesterday. The one that supposedly has an anomaly hiding inside. Loot, power, glory.
>You should probably get some exercise. Ask Ashton to escort you and the MAN to the GYM, BABY, TIME TO GET STRONG!!!
>Write in.

Anything you want to say to your coworkers?
>Write in.
