You ask Dr. N. Seyn if he has some materials for making a mech that you could buy for $60,000.
![[Image: command38b.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38b.png)
It turns out that he does!
![[Image: command38c.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38c.png)
So instead you make the offer to CrusherBot.
![[Image: command38d.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38d.png)
He doesn't seem interested in making deals.
![[Image: command38e.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38e.png)
So you give him the money and get no materials in exchange!
![[Image: command38f.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38f.png)
You make a mech with your nonexistant materials.
![[Image: command38g.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38g.png)
You then order the mech to steal the world's rubber duckies.
![[Image: command38h.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38h.png)
A few minutes later, when the mech that doesn't exist doesn't come back, you conclude that it must have succeeded!
![[Image: command38i.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38i.png)
You inform Dr. N. Seyn that you are holding the world's entire supply of rubber duckies for ransom and will only release them for $50,000.
![[Image: command38j.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38j.png)
He accepts your terms, and tells CrusherBot to pay the ransom!
![[Image: command38k.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38k.png)
You receive $50,000 of your own money back.
![[Image: command38l.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38l.png)
You decide that the previous experience wasn't unprofitable enough, and so you opt to start a trading sequence.
![[Image: command38m.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38m.png)
Of course, since you can't leave the room, your only trading partners are a mad scientist and his psychotic robot.
![[Image: command38n.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38n.png)
So you trade with various people who aren't there, and also with yourself.
![[Image: command38o.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38o.png)
Eventually, you succeed in making $40,000, after losing all of the $50,000 you started with.
![[Image: command38p.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38p.png)
You then offer the money to CrusherBot for materials again, with similar results to last time.
![[Image: command38q.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38q.png)
You now gather up your new nonexistent materials.
![[Image: command38r.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38r.png)
You then ignore them, and instead build a mech out of the dragon statue that you converted into a mechanical bull, and the first mech that you built, which still hasn't returned.
![[Image: command38s.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38s.png)
In other words, this mech doesn't exist either.
![[Image: command38t.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38t.png)
You order your new nonexistent mech to steal the world's rubber duckies, but tell it to leave all rubber duck factories alone.
![[Image: command38u.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38u.png)
You then decide that you won't tell anybody that you are holding the world's rubber duckies ransom for $30,000. In fact, you strike up a conversation with Dr. N. Seyn specifically so that you can not mention this.
![[Image: command38v.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38v.png)
However, a short way into your conversation, the doctor remembers that he was attacking you!
![[Image: command38w.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38w.png)
You already did. It would be pointless to do both sequences of events again simultaneously.
![[Image: command38x.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38x.png)
So you set to work on doing so immediately.
![[Image: command38y.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38y.png)
After the resulting confusing series of events, CrusherBot is enraged!
![[Image: command38z.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38z.png)
CrusherBot's anger is starting to overload its cooling systems!
![[Image: command38za.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38za.png)
CrusherBot explodes spectacularly! Unfortunately, you are not hit by any of the shrapnel.
![[Image: command38zb.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38zb.png)
Dr. N. Seyn is pleased, as CrusherBot's explosive mechanism hasn't been working properly lately.
![[Image: command38zc.png]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73600486/Nopor%20Puss/command38zc.png)
In gratitude, Dr. N. Seyn joins your party!
