Victoria: bursting in and spinning her pen F-f-fuck! We gotta pivot the strategy, now!
startled Boss, uh, okay, can we do that after you quarantine for 10 days?
rolls her eyes Ugh, don't you dare give me that shit, Allen. This is fucking urgent. Who cares about some stupid quarantine?
slams her hand on the desk No buts, Allen! We're talking about millions of dollars here.
grinning mischievously Alright, listen up, you little pissants. Here's what we're gonna do.
points at Allen You, yes you! I want you to start reaching out to our contacts, sweet-talking them, making deals, whatever it takes to get our shitshow back on track.
Got it, boss. Any special tools needed? Like a Geiger counter or something?
laughs sarcastically Ha! No, smartass, no Geiger counter needed. Just your usual charm and a fucking brain, alright?
leans in closer, lowering her voice And you, Allen. I want results. Fast. No slacking off, no excuses.
Understood, boss. Anything else?
grabs Allen by the collar Oh, you bet your sorry ass there, buddy. You're gonna need to make sure you keep those damn quarantine protocols in check.
Yes boss. I will use the Richtofsky Method to ensure total quarantine protocol control.
releases Allen, smirking That's the spirit, you little asshole. Now get out of my sight and make me proud.
Thank you, boss. May I ask what the second part of the plan is?
Despite following all quarantine protocols, Allen soon contracts the virus due to lack of proper containment and personal protective equipment
enters Allen's office, sees him coughing and looking pale What the fuck happened here, Allen? You look like shit! Did you forget the face mask again?
cough No ma’am. The virus mutated and jumped through the air.
rolls her eyes Mutated, huh? Well, ain't that just fucking great. Guess you really dropped the ball on this one, Allen.
continues coughing Sorry boss.
paces around Allen's office, ranting Sorry? Sorry doesn't cut it, Allen!
stops pacing, looks at Allen with a mischievous grin Well, well, well, if it's not little Mr. "I Don't Know What To Do" over here.
Yes boss. I am listening.
grabs Allen by the scruff of his neck and pulls him close Listen up, you useless sack of shit. We're gonna fix this little mess of yours, but you're gonna do exactly as I say. Got it?
releases Allen from her grip, smirking Good. Now, pay attention, because I've got a plan that'll make your head spin. First, we're gonna call in our top scientist and have them work on a vaccine.
Right away, boss. calls Dr. Nevin
snatches the phone from Allen Put that thing away, you idiot. We don't have all day. Now listen up, Dr. Nevin, you're going to drop everything and focus on creating a fucking vaccine for this mutated virus. I want results, and I want them now! Got it? Dr. Nevin: on the phone Yes, Ms. Smith, we'll get right on it.
rolls her eyes Of course, there's more to the plan, you dimwit.
As Dr. Nevin works on the vaccine, Allen undergoes experimental treatment in an attempt to cure him of the virus
slams her fist on Allen's desk And what the fuck are you doing in here, you pathetic excuse for a human being? Are you supposed to be sitting there twiddling your thumbs while Dr. Nevin works his magic? Get your ass in gear, Allen! I want updates on their progress every hour. No excuses.
paces back and forth in Allen's office, muttering to herself God damn it, Allen. Can't you do anything right? I swear, sometimes I wonder how the hell you even managed to rise through the ranks.
snatches the update report from Allen's hand, scanning it quickly What the fuck is this drivel? I asked for updates, not some fluffy-ass status report.
I also asked Dr. Nevin about his status. He told me to tell you that he is making progress but needs more time.
throws the update report across the room, fuming Progress? More time? How the hell does that make me feel any better, Allen?
I don’t know, boss. shudders
leans in close to Allen, her voice dripping with venom You don't know, huh? Well, let me enlighten you, you clueless fool.
grabs Allen by the collar, forcing him to stand Look here, you incompetent idiot.
