[Title] I Smell a Rat
[Description] After a busy day of meetings, you and a few of your advisors decide to go to a top-rated gourmet restaurant in downtown @@CAPITAL@@. You order ratatouille, the special that night. To your amazement, it’s the best dish you’ve had in years. You ask to thank the chef who made it in person and are told that you must wait until after closing time to meet him. Determined, you wait and are greeted by a waiter bringing over just a chef’s hat. The hat is lifted and to your shock… there’s a rat under it!
[Option 1] Your personal assistant, who suffers from a severe case of musophobia, screams in horror. “For Violet’s sake, a rat! This place is disgusting and needs to be shut down immediately!” She quickly flees from the table and can be heard in the other room ranting about how insufficient health code enforcement has become.
[Effect] Restaurants are now visited by health inspectors every week.
[Option 2] The waiter, not expecting such an immediate reaction, quickly attempts to explain to the rest of the table that the rat, in fact, is the chef who made @@LEADER@@’s dish. “I know it seems crazy, but this rat is a genius chef! He is the one who is responsible for your ratatouille! Give him a chance @@LEADER@@, anyone can cook, even a rat.”
[Effect] Rats are now getting culinary degrees.
[Option 3] Your science advisor stands up abruptly. “Hold on just a moment @@LEADER@@. If what this waiter is saying is true, then we have just discovered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study a sentient rat! We must confiscate this chef to dissect and study what makes him tick. Just think about the potential of what we could discover!”
[Effect] Scientists discover that rats really have minds of their own.
[Option 4] Out of nowhere, the local health inspector runs out of the kitchen. “They tied me up and threw me in the freezer, I just barely escaped! We must exterminate these rodents once and for all, they are a danger to us all!” The health inspector collapses as an army of rats drags him back into the kitchen.
[Effect] Rats are now kill-on-site.
