You sigh deeply, swallow hard, and walk through hexagonal doorway.

You step into what sounds like a cavernous room, but it's pitch black. There is the smell of fresh blood, and underfoot things feel damp. You're pretty sure that's KraaaaAAgh, which bring a tear to your eye.

Suddenly, a large, emerald sphere begins to pulsate angrily in front of you, giving you splotchy dots whenever you close your eyes.

"WE ARE THE KALRANTHI ROSETTE," booms a clear, richly tonal voice. "STATE YOUR PURPOSE AND POSITION."

Weakly, you reply, "I'm here because there's some problem between you and QuarrixCo. I'm here to represent them. That was my friend just now, for whom I sincerely apologise. I didn't know her intentions."

"SHE WAS IRRELEVANT," the voice says with the authority of a fantastically loud voice in a darkened room. "HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THE PROBLEM OF YOUR CORPORATION?"

"Now, there's the issue," you sigh. "You know the problem, and QuarrixCo probably know the problem, but I'm in the dark."

"YES. IT IS DARK."

"No, I mean, I don't know what the problem is. Me, personally."

"THE CARBONATED BEVERAGES OF QUARRIXCO, KNOWN TO ALL AS QUARRIXCOLA AMONGST OTHER NAMES, ARE INSUFFICIENTLY EFFERVESCENT."

"They're not fizzy enough?" you query.

"NEGATORY! HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO MAKE AMENDS?"

"Woah, perhaps I still don't understand the problem," you say, unable to grasp the key problem. "You don't like the drinks because they're not fizzy?"

"INCORRECT!" booms the voice once more. You're starting to get a toothache from the volume. "WE LIKE THE DRINKS. BUT THEY ARE INSUFFICIENTLY EFFERVESCENT."

Well, your authority is incredibly limited, but you can think of a few potential solutions.

If you think it's a good idea to try to refund the Kalranthi Rosette's purchases, turn to page 52.

Or, if you think there's more sense in offering to change the formula of the drinks (which you may or may not be able to convince corporate to do), turn to page 64.

Remember those bags you've been lugging around with you all day? Seriously, how could you forget? Anyway, they're full of drinks, so if you think the Kalranthi will be interested in them, turn to page 68.
