A plucky young scientist stands in the middle of a laboratory, located within a branch of one of the most successful Technology Companies in the world. Though it was many years ago that she was given a name, it is only today that she has lost her nametag! Among other things.
What will you do?

Back away from your unpowered-but-working laptop. Back away right onto the platform with the zappy ray thing.

Definitely not! The poster says "SAFETY FIRST", not "SAFETY WHENEVER YOU GET AROUND TO IT", so you'd better do as it says. You give it a once-over to refresh your memory on how to be SAFE, and feel much SAFER for it. Who knows what kind of terrible things might have happened if you hadn't learned these crucial SAFETY skills. Certainly nothing you'd get worker's comp for.
> : Retrieve protective goggles from wall rack.
You put on the PROTECTIVE GOGGLES! They're of your own invention, and like most of your INVENTIONS, are made o-o-o-of love. Well, partially. They're really mostly plastic and silicon and whatnot. You know, SCIENCE STUFF.
> : Look around the laboratory, your nametag might just be on a table somewhere nearby.
You take a look around the laboratory, but it is admittedly kind of difficult to see anything in the room with these PROTECTIVE GOGGLES on. The main way they protect you is by showing you these... THINGS. You're not really sure what they are or what dimension() they're in, and as far as you can tell they can't actually interact with your plane of existence, but you sure feel SAFER knowing where they are. Can you imagine NOT being made aware that these otherwise undetectable THINGS are all around you, watching you, constantly, all the time? Good god, what a terrifying thought!
The goggles were just supposed to let you see a new spectrum of color, but the end result was a happy accident, which is basically how most of your best INVENTING happens. Sometimes science is more art than science. A lot of people don't get that.
> : Desmodena Leroy
You do the DESMODENA LEROY, which is of course everyone's favorite DANCE CRAZE! It's normally a pretty challenging DANCE to do without ARMS, what with the balancing and whatnot, but you are just that good. During late nights in the lab, sometimes you've gotta liven things up a bit, you know? You don't even need music.

Well, due to your lack of ARMS and obscured vision from the PROTECTION GOGGLES, you pretty much have to push them at random anyway. You mash your face haphazardly against the KEYPAD, hoping for the best. Since this is a MULTI-USE BEAM STATION, you can never be too careful about what you tell the machine to do. Wait, maybe that means you shouldn't be doing this so haphazardly.
Oh, nevermind! It just so happened to be the perfect combination of numbers to get the desired result. What are the odds??? The BEAM envelops your person and you successfully > Retrieve arms.
Yaaay! Thanks SCIENCE! But no thanks SCIENCE for getting rid of your ARMS in the first place. You're not entirely sure why you even ran that DE-ARMIFICATION experiment on yourself to begin with, but the important thing is that you learned something. SCIENCE! YAY!
> : Remove the goggles. It's nice to know the creatures are there, and knowing is half the battle, but they really do get in the way. > : Log on to your laptop and experience the everyday marvel of information at your fingertips.
Now that you actually have fingers, you remove the PROTECTIVE GOGGLES so you can actually see what the hell you're doing. You try to access your LAPTOP, but it requires a PASSWORD! Looks like the BATTERY is getting pretty low too.
> Plug in your laptop before the battery runs out!
Well, you would, except there are no available POWER OUTLETS nearby! All there is is a small SAFETY POSTER featuring two people discussing the importance of SAFETY. You think it's kind of a weird location and size for a poster, but you're not about to argue with the decoration decisions of UPPER MANAGEMENT.

To be fair, you weren't shown the 30 minutes spent awkwardly trying to get them on using your face alone.
