Sufficient Slags Antidote-spiked punch
Initial Text
You see a pair of Midgard officers making their way through the abandoned cubicles. It doesn't appear as if they're on patrol… instead, they're carrying drums of something.
You'd guess it's toxic waste from the color splattered on the guards, almost cartoonishly green, but catch a whiff of mint along with the subtler chemical undertone.

Ask what's up
One of the guards raises a hand to wipe his brow, then pauses when he realizes it's splattered with a green liquid. "Oh, somebody's been putting something weird in the punch. Swirls of black something. You can see it if you look close."
Management wants the party to go off without a hitch, so we're disposing of them."
Is it Slags antidote?
One of the officers shakes his head. "I'm not a chemist, but Barsukov says it's got to go and she's the boss."
Another chuckles for a second, prompting him to correct himself. "Well, she's not actually the boss, but she's a messenger from the boss's boss's boss's boss… so yeah."
The other smiles and adds "you forgot a boss's."
Well, even if they don't seem interested in changing their minds, they aren't hauling things around while you're talking with them.
Help them
They point out another barrel they suspect may have problems. Each of you grabs a barrel and hauls them to the freight elevator for disposal.
It's quite a workout.
