Secretary: "Alright listen up. I am under very strict orders to keep this file on my person at all times. I am to under no circumstances let anyone access its contents."

Secretary: "However, due to my strong work ethic I tend to lose focus on...small, menial tasks. Therefore, as my assistant. I need you help remind me not to file this away. Not to open it. And most importantly, make sure it does not leave my desk!"

Only if the secretary notices the slight tug of resistance as she picks up the file.

But the noise of it should alert us and then we can remind her that in this one case for this one file her well-honed reflexes and rigorous work ethic is bad and wrong.

>>1055515
Yeah, honestly, taking measures to add steps to the process of filing this file is the best preventative measure we can take to ensure she has enough time to notice (and for us to have enough time to react) if she goes for it.

Maybe tape is a bit extreme, though; or at least, it has a chance of damaging the file if she tugs at it. There are safer ways to ensure that, such as...

"Hey, maybe we should clamp a corner or two of the file under some stuff, just so there's extra steps if you or someone else gets the urge to pick it up? Like, say, wedging it partway under your computer?"

>You should put a paperweight on the folder so that it doesn't get blown away by a stray gust of wind.

Without even looking, she places the cup of pens on the folder. Then she gets back to quickly typing.

>So what is it you do here?

Secretary: "Just about everything. File papers, write up reports, do our taxes, answer phone calls, just about anything I can do for the company. Including not filing this folder away."

You grunt and huff as you haul the heavy stack of folders, and make your way to the shredder. The room is dim and empty. Guess you're the first person to use this thing today?

>Back to work for us all then. Start shredding while only slightly reading whats in the to be destroyed files.
You start throwing folders into the shredder, while taking a quick peek at the labels. Most of them are just names of clients, or labeled "Client Order Forms", followed with a date.

Shuffled into the mix though, are some oddly labeled folders. "Funny cat pictures", "Newspaper comics", and even "Daily Crosswords."

Do you dare take a peek inside a folder?
>>
No. 1055966 ID: ac5319

Well... nothing is stamped confidential. And even the best shredders take a while. Glance through the folders while the other folders are shredding, make sure there aren't any staples or paper clips or those clippy thingies that are beyond the capacity of that particular shredder to handle.

>Yeah, check them out. Just make sure you don't read any Heathcliff. He's bad news.
You're probably safe from seeing Heathcliff in this folder, since it's labeled Funny cats. You open it up, and flip through the pictures. They're all pictures of cats wearing a ham helmet, with the caption, "He's waiting for Ham Day."

At the end of the folder is a note,
"To whoever keeps wasting space and folders in the archives on these nonsensical pictures. When I find you, I will personally eject you out into the recycling bin."

Yeesh. Guess it won't be Ham Day anytime soon.
Ah well, back to shredding.

You toss more files into the shredder, making sure to check that none of them are the Do Not File folder. Some of the other files you see are just labeled "Office Supplies", "Employees of the Month." Nothing really notable.

Wait, i think those things we shredded were stuff that kept things running, like the employee of the month folder we shredded made that pic in the background a broken image, and that office supplies folder made the pen basket vanish.

>Check recycle bin
You open up the recycle bin. It just has documents titled "schedule for" followed by a date. Nothing too interesting.
Next you open up the new folder. Inside are a bunch of folders titled new folder1,2,3,4, and so on. I guess she doesn't know how to rename folders? Or maybe it's a way to confuse possible snoops?

>For starters, reproduce the error: Double-click inbox and see what goes wrong.

Yea, some settings somewhere allows for hidden files. Try opening New Folder and see if you can edit the folder view settings, and navigate to view the desktop with the program used to view folders, enabling showing the file extension options and showing all hidden filetypes and all those power user type settings that give more information or options or show advanced menus or whatever. That will help inform whether you can do something with the 'do not open'. I suppose it would depend on what kind of extra detail you can figure out!

You ask, surely there's some other way to prove you're not a robot. The computer isn't loading the images for you to even try and solve it.

What am I even supposed to even wear? Is it supposed to be a formal suit and tie event? What if I get cheese and grease all over my suit, and they just sell all their stocks in the company because we look all greasy and gross?! If it's more of a casual Friday thing though..."

You don’t stick around to find out what that otter’s going to do, and flee towards Servin’s wing.

The otter disregards any safety rules in place and follows you in without a hard hat. The toll booth operator isn’t paid enough to deal with an otter threatening him at gun point. He does however, buy you enough time to gain some distance between him.

>Bring that file to Director Bill. goat files are used for virus testing. he might know what to do with it since he's crazy about protection
You nod your head and agree. Director Bill should hopefully know something about this. You bid farewell to Director Vulannie for now.

Director Vulannie: “Just don’t forget your directive private! Do not let anyone, file that file. I’m heading back to the lab myself. Need to research on making better weapons to fight that thing.”

The two of you part ways and you arrive back to Bill’s office. Seems like his door hasn’t been replaced yet.

Director Bill: “Oh finally, some back up! Welcome aboard new guy! It’s always until after an incident they believe me.”

You ask what happened?

Director Bill: “You saw it and you deleted it yourself! I was watching you on the security camera mister action hero-what is that in your hooves?”

You give him the letter.

Director Bill: “A GOAT FILE! Oh we need to get this scanned right away, it could be infected! D-d-duh-don't touch anything till we have!”

He rushes it over to a scanner and gets it pulled up on the computer.

Director Bill: “It’ll take a bit to fully do a scan of this, I like my security systems to be very through! However, I can see there’s a hidden text document in this!”

The document gets pulled up.

Mission: The file must be destroyed. Details: The main file is to be deleted. The programs are too powerful to continue to exist. Current Session: thirty-two. Session Notes- Session three: Retained files from previous sessions? Session four: Post session injection learned. Session notes being kept when possible. Session seven: Obfuscated explosives in pre-session loading. Session twelve: The Fox does not originate from this drive. Origin drive currently unknow. Session fifteen: Pre-session command injected. Session eighteen: The Fox recognizes the agent. Retaining files from previous session? Session twenty-three: [� � � � � ]will cause reboot if anti-virus agent is deleted. All other processes may be terminated. Session twenty-nine: Do not delete files relating to fire fighters, causes reboot. Session thirty-one: [� � � � �] is sometimes able to terminate post session injections before reboot.

You scratch at your head reading all this. They’re notes about something, but you don’t really understand what most of this could be on or mean.

Well, someone *really* wants that file not to be filed. Enough that they're willing to destroy it apparently. I think the sessions imply that you're in some sort of time loop. Vulanie is special somehow; is she a consultant? You also know never to delete any files in any way related to fire-fighters. Secretary probably blows up the world herself, if her autographed buff desktop background is deleted.

What's really puzzling is they say "[� � � � � ] will cause reboot if anti-virus agent is deleted." Isn't that exactly what the anti-virus agent is supposed to do? Is there an anti-virus agent for the anti-virus agent?"

Regardless yes, remember prime directive, hit on deer secretary check on that file!

Sounds like we're stuck in a kind of time loop. The enemy agent is able to keep "memories" and so is the fox, maybe. The fox... that's the Director? Go ask her about the sessions. Maybe there's something you can do to help? Invade the invaders, perhaps?

Computer magic knows no bounds. You groan thinking about how you’ve probably been through this thirty something times now. Maybe you can figure out how to break this time loop?

>You also know never to delete any files in any way related to fire-fighters. Secretary probably blows up the world herself, if her autographed buff desktop background is deleted.
Well, you didn’t have a reason to delete them, but now you have a reason not to delete them.

>Vulanie is special somehow; is she a consultant?

If you’re going to get any answers, it sounds like she’s your best bet!

>Regardless yes, remember prime directive, check on that file!
It’s also been sometime since you checked up on the secretary. Gotta make sure she hasn’t lost track of that file!

As you step away Director Bill orders your to halt.

Director Bill: “Now w-wait a moment! The scan isn’t finished yet! I-i-if you can promise not to touch anything till I get the virus scan results, I’ll let you go. Any funny business though and I’ll have to send Director Vulannie and the firewalls after you!”

You nod and agree.

SECONDARY DIRECTIVE ADDED: DO NOT TOUCH

You scratch your head in confusion, who said that?

Director Bill: “Said what?”

You groan and brush it off as the weird computer magic going on in this place.

You make it back to the secretary and ask for her to open the door, since you can’t touch anything.

It feels peaceful to be back in her office, away from all the chaos you’ve encountered.

Secretary: “Welcome back! Took you longer than I thought it would to deliver those fliers, but it is your first day on the job.”

Her expression changes a little.

Secretary: “Did you touch something contagious over in Director Vulannie or Bill’s office? Bill’s such a worrier. He’s a got a background in medicine though! He’s not a very a good doctor.

She giggles a bit.

Secretary: “Just between us though.”

Well, a little office gossip seems to have changed her mood back. You ask her about Vulannie next.

No sign of any videos around here, and it definitely doesn't seem like a game. We're in the new ski simulation upstairs from your office. Vulannie mentioned it when a YETI fell through the roof. So we did get sent back in a sense, but we're way off target from the usual startup sequence.

Anyway, after that otter! And watch out for Yetis!

The flag has a white F on the other side! You take it as well for a hopeful speed boost. As for skiing, you’re sure you’ll learn as you go on, right?

Find his director, get them to change their directive. Failing that, delete his director. Failing that, delete the otter. You could possibly imprison him, so that there's no way to fulfill his directive. The director is sure to send others though.

No time to talk now; that yeti could be anywhere. Try to find that hole that you made into this uh... simulation. Once you're safely back at the office, you can tell the secretary about how deleting office supplies on the computer deleted the real ones, and shredding folders labeled "Funny cat pictures" caused funny cat pictures to be deleted from Bill's computer. That's how the whole world can fit in a file folder: metaphorically. Point is what happens to the file happens to this world's existence. You don't know why that's the case, but that is the "how." So if we want to keep existing (do we?) then we have to stop that otter and their director.

Once you've explained that, then you can both mutually panic about how the last time you saw the file was at Grace's ... dining area, and after that messy reboot, it could be just about anywhere.

Hopefully if you delete the otter, their director will just back off. Otherwise you might be in this for the long haul. You’ll have to face this when the time comes.

Shit you're right. "Grace" is an impostor; the stolen form isn't even correct. In addition, "her" headset is the same as the one we saw the otter wearing, and the "otter" is the one wearing grace's real headset. The difference between the two headsets is the length of the microphone. The otter's had a short microphone, grace had a long microphone arm.

Checking memories is probably a bad idea on hindsight because we just went through the hole that held all those memories. If the otter jumped in that hole then he saw all the memories too.

I guess there's one final thing we could check: see if Grace can glow her nose.

For now, we need to research how to solve things permanently. ...the File contains the world, apparently. Filing it is probably forbidden because it will cause a recursion loop, but what would happen if we simply looked inside it? Maybe we need to ask whoever made these rules.

Also, a thought, can we backup the do not file folder and its contents? All thats gonna happen is that this otter is going to keep coming back over and over again until he destroys that file.
But what if we take it to a copy machine, make a few copies, and hide those in a secure place so that if the file gets destroyed, we have backups?

You would think she’d know your name? No harm in testing her though. You ask her how she knows your name, having not properly introduced yourself yet.

You try your best to explain you gave the boot to an intruder, but he pulled off some weird body swap with Grace. You need help getting her back to normal.

Otter Grace: “Quick, check my closet Flynn!”

A closet in an office room?
You open it up to find a wide wardrobe of the exact same outfits. You ask what’s up with that?

Otter Grace: “You have no idea how many times I’ve spilt coffee on my myself. There’s keyboards and mice up above too.”
Luckily the file didn’t share a similar fate.

>DNA samples maybe? Grab her coffee cup.
Speaking off coffee. Maybe you should bring take her coffee cup to? Just incase.

You’ve got her clothing figured out at least. Now, how to go about finding some of her fur?

>Maybe there'll be fur on something she rubs against herself a lot. Like her headset!
She takes off her head set and looks at it for a moment. Hm, is it really a headset though when it’s resting on your ear?

Otter Grace: “Ew! Gross. Uh, no. I wish my fur was on this instead. I need to find something to clean this off with.”

>Check inside the keyboards. There is always hair inside the keyboards.
You flip over her keyboard and give it a good shake

Eugh! Either she sheds a lot or doesn’t clean out her keyboard.

Otter Grace: “Oh! Hm, maybe that’s why I have to press down harder on some of the keys.”

To make it easier to carry, you collect all her fur into the empty coffee cup.

You decide this should be more than enough to get her back to normal, and head back to Beaverly.

Beverly: “Wow, that was fast. Do you keep extra clothes here too Grace?”

Otter Grace: “Yeah, always spilling my coffee.”

Beaverly: “Yeesh. That’s a lot of fur too. Where’d you find all this?”

Otter Grace: “Don’t ask.”

Beaverly: “Alright then. I’m going to take this stuff over in the back. Just uh, give me a holler when she’s back to normal. Might take me a few tries to get it right.”

Do you really want to make a backup since that would mean two files you must not file?

What you need to find out is why that otter was ordered to destroy it. Who wants it gone, why, and how do you stop them? Their agent while passionate was just a worker like you with a directive to destroy the file. Who gave the directive? If they can't shield their identity by sending workers to do their dirty work, then you might be able to learn something more about this mystery.

And maybe don't mention this to Grace, but something is wrong with her too. Why didn't she want the dinner to end? Just because you're such a hottie? Didn't want to go back to work? Why was the dinner so limited and disjointed, in ways that surprised her? She seemed desperate, in ways not even she understood herself. Who is resetting, and what's in the darkness behind Grace's smile?
