Transcript: Board meeting at VIPER TECH HQ in Riverwood City 9/21/42
David Lane: Ah, Mr Stone, Ms. Reyes how nice of you to join us please take a seat! Todays meeting we are discussing the current budget and production plan for the end of this year. I hope you all will be able to contribute to make end this year successfully.
Other board members: Yes Sir
CFO( Mark Maron): Sir, if I may, I'd like to start with my report...
In the past two months, we’ve made considerable revenue from the upgraded
VIPER Laser Technology, particularly in the security sector — however...
We’ve also
lost several thousand due to the
VIPERbot launch failure.
David: And why is that?
Head of Operations (Cassidy Malone): We've been investigating this issue internally sir, but it seems to all lead back to the recent incidents — those attacks.
Which, If I recall correctly, our Security bots were built to protect us from?
Head of R&D (Alex Hoover) (Angrily): I can assure you they are fully equipped with our latest technology! Those bots are already already patrolling here in Riverwood. Yet Samson here thinks its wise to prevent them from doing his job, and let some young teenagers "play superhero", Don't you Mr. stone.?
Samson Stone: I'm Doing no such thing! I've been head of security since You took over for your father, Mr. Lane, I've been part of this board for a while now too, And believe I've done a great service in my current position. I'm doing everything I can sir, I have no idea how they've got the information they did, but I have nothing to do with them.
David lane: (Slams desk) Mr. stone, I have no doubt of your loyalty to this company, HOWEVER, I'm wondering how you've been unable to catch them EVERY TIME they attack us, or provide any insight as to who they are. Because I think we all want an explanation!
Samson Stone: Mr. Lane, They're just some random teenagers. But they're Looking for James Black. I don't think they're a problem, I believe we're very close to catching them.
David lane: Just some Teenagers? To me it seems like they aren't Just some teenagers. You say they're searching for Mr. Black, Well I know you were good friends with him but we can't go on some wild goose chase for him and let this city be destroyed, We have a business to run.
If you can't accept that maybe i'll have someone else take over the position
Stone: Sir! I-
David: Stone, calm down, you're not facing any dire consequences yet, I trust you and Ms. Reyes will handle it, though I hope it'll be sooner, rather than later. Now, Miss Reyes, before we continue, You've been with working with Samson, and were acquaintances with Mr. Black weren't you? Do you have anything to add to this situation?
Nina Reyes (Flustered): No Sir, all I'll say don't feel it's fair to have us step down.
(She starts to speak up) I don't feel as though just a couple of kids Sir. the problem it's something larger and unrelated, the first attack at the expo was different, There's something larger going on,
Something larger than any of us, and I think we're either hiding it, or we're overlooking it completely. That's all
(Silence as the board members exchange fierce and inquisitive glances around the room)
Reyes: May we go sir?
David: (clears his throat) Ah, Yes Ms. Reyes, If that is all you and Mr. Stone have to report, you may go, have a nice day.
Reyes (seething): Thank you. (Reyes and Stone Leave)
