Continue to Nexus Technologies and proceed with the board meeting takeover as planned
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tina expertly navigates the morning traffic, pulling the SUV into the underground parking garage of the gleaming Nexus Technologies headquarters. The security guards snap to attention as you exit the vehicle, their eyes widening at your imposing seven-and-a-half-foot form and the authoritative aura you exude.
"Good morning, gentlemen," you greet them with a knowing smile. The guards fumble with their security protocols, clearly entranced by your presence.
"We're expected for the 8:30 board meeting," Victoria announces smoothly, her platinum blonde hair cascading over her shoulders as she steps forward with her tablet.
Marion follows behind, the click of her heels echoing through the parking garage. "I trust there won't be any issues with our access?" she asks, her dominatrix lawyer presence causing the guards to swallow nervously.
"N-no ma'am," the lead security officer stammers. "You're all cleared for the executive elevator."
The three of you stride toward the private elevator, leaving Tina with the SUV. "I'll be ready for extraction at your command, Mistress," she assures you with a wink.
As the elevator ascends to the executive floor, Victoria reviews the final details. "Chairman Richard Peterson will resist the most. He's been with Nexus since its founding. The conditional transformation device is primed to turn him into an especially eager secretary drone if he votes against us."
"Perfect," you reply, adjusting your posture to accommodate your height in the elevator.
The doors slide open to reveal a reception area where a nervous-looking executive assistant stands to greet you. "Ms. Powers, Ms. Blackwood, Ms. Winters – the board is assembling now. May I offer you refreshments before the meeting?"
"We're fine," you reply dismissively. "Lead the way."
The boardroom doors open to reveal eight men and one woman seated around a massive glass table. Chairman Peterson, a silver-haired man in his sixties, rises from his seat at the head of the table.
"Ms. Powers," he begins, his voice carrying a forced politeness, "this is highly irregular. We received your acquisition proposal only yesterday, and—"
Victoria steps forward, placing her tablet on the table. "The proposal is quite straightforward, Chairman. Blackwood-Powers Enterprises is offering to acquire Nexus Technologies at a 27% premium over current market value."
"That's not the issue," interjects Bradley Wilson, the CFO. "The speed and manner of this proposal suggest hostile intent."
You smile coldly. "Nothing hostile about a generous offer. Shall we put it to a vote?"
As anticipated, Chairman Peterson calls for the vote immediately, hoping to defeat your proposal before you can make your case. "All those in favor of accepting the Blackwood-Powers acquisition offer?"
Four hands raise – your proxy voters.
"All opposed?"
Three hands shoot up – Chairman Peterson, CFO Wilson, and CTO Abigail Chen.
"Two abstentions," Peterson announces. "The motion fails, five to three with two abstentions. Now if you'll excuse us—"
Before he can finish his sentence, a subtle pink glow emanates from beneath the table. Peterson freezes mid-sentence, his eyes widening in confusion as the transformation begins. Wilson and Chen experience the same phenomenon simultaneously, their bodies trembling as the conditional transformation device activates.
