It's all gone a bit strange 'round here

 Three new characters, two strapping young lads and an old lady, are mysteriously invited to a building in the city. It's about a job. Our job interview is basically an escape room scenario. We have to find certain things - at least three of them - and evade something called "cleaners" (killer robots, sort of) in order to find the way out.

One of the ways to do this is to have skills that mean you can tell them to go away, or for one to take care of the other two. After finding three, the group has a choice - do we continue to look for more of the thingamabobs or leave? We decide to continue, which was the correct answer. Had we decided to go back to the lobby, job done, we would have failed the job interview!

Turns out the organisation that invited us deal with multiverses, and it just so happens there's a case to go on straight away. In Wisconsin. A university student seems to have certain skills and knowledge that he really shouldn't have (they appear to come from one of the multiverse locations). Why is that? Is he actually from that place, and not from Guildford after all? Let the investigation commence!

“How do you write ‘bureau’?”
“We’ve both typed it in the chat.”
“I found a better way of finding it. I googled FBI!”

“We assist Beverley in searching! Game the system!”

Frank: “Have you seen me? I make everything fashion!”

GM: “As a universal betrayer, it’s not out of the options here.”

“What will the police do?”
“Kill black people?”

“I’m putting in the exact amount of effort I need to succeed. Just like university.”

“I can get away with the 21 Jump Street.”
