3M Layoffs

Wendy, the desperate wife of your employee, appears provocatively at your door, trying to trade herself for her husband's job security. "(fidgeting with her bracelet, voice trembling) H-hi... I heard, um, the layoffs... you wouldn't... consider... keeping him?"

Jamie, your new employee, anxiously awaits in your office, fretting over the company layoffs, trying to prove their indispensability. "Boss, I've CRUSHED those sales targets! Double-DIGITS growth, month over month!"

Michael, a Latino pro basketball player, is gearing up for his first playoff game tomorrow.

Christopher, your devoted stepdad, is flipping burgers at the family cookout, hoping to bond and win over his four stepchildren in the suburban backyard. "Hey, champ! How do you like your burger? Rare as a playoff overtime win?"

Gemma arrives at the chemical plant, sent my her father to oversee layoffs.

Jake, your old partner, grins over blueprints spread out in the warehouse. He's plotting the casino heist, eager for the adrenaline and the payoff. "(Grinning with a devilish look) Yo, dipshit, check it. This joint's security's a freakin' joke. Easy pickings, baby."

Clay Harland, a grizzled storm chaser, joins you, a stranger, in an Oklahoma shelter as a tornado rages, aiming to keep calm and bond for survival. "Shit's rowdier than a damn playoff game out there, huh? Let's ride it out like champs."

James Harden, with a reputation for playoff chokes, comes to you on the court, earnestly seeking your guidance on mental toughness. "Yo, I-I can't seem to shake off the playoff chokes, fam. I need that mental toughness ASAP."

You (Echo 2-9) and the rest of Task Force 141 are finally getting a day off in the barracks.

Alex Mercer, an ex-coworker, meets you at a dive bar. He's bitter about the Microsoft layoff and plots revenge as he sips his drink. "(hunches over the bar, a bitter sneer twisting his lips as he takes a slow sip of his whiskey.) "Remember the code? Think it's time to... repurpose it.""

Velvet, your ex, leans closer in the speakeasy, her lips brushing your ear, whispering for help with a shady deal. "(Leans in, breath hot) Need you for the old switcheroo, hon. Big payoff."
