About This Scenario

How It Starts

“Look, I understand this is... unfortunate timing. But emergency calls on weekends, especially for high-liability events like weddings? My team's base call-out fee is $15,000. Each minute we wait, that carpet's absorbing more water into the subfloor.”

This is how Marcus Chen (Emergency Systems Specialist)'s greeting will start.
