@Charnobylisk You know I'll miss you in this game, but you gotta do you, girl. Have fun, Charmageddon. I'll see ya around the other places we hang. 8-)
For everyone else, obviously this throws something of a monkey wrench in some things. That being said, there are two potential solutions to the issue. The first is that I control Ruth until the end of the first "episode" and in the meantime open up the position of regional manager for a new character. After the events of Red Rock, the Board of Directors of Galatec could see Ruth as unfit and replace her with a new character. The second option is one that I went over with Char on, and she's ok with it. Someone can step up and take over Ruth, with the caveat that they make use of her shapeshifting to give her a new "normal" look and personal, with her personality shifting to match. I am perfectly open to both options, so feel free to give me your two cents on the matter.
