       Ah! We have a taker! Well done Alterother.

"4. You try and pick up the rifle but it seems cemented to the floor by some sticky goo. You sense movement in the dark shadows around you. Press 1. to run away in a blind panic. Press 2. to struggle with the obviously useless weapon. Press 3 for customer services."

       I'm a Colonial Marine, right? I'll grab a flamethrower and take my chances with the Xeno Queen at customer service.

       "You swear and shout as you pound uselessly on the customer service button, the electronic tones of the [3] button seem to have no effect and sound increasingly like a desperate morse code message. Suddenly a cold chill runs up your spine and you feel the presence of something large behind you. You turn to stare straight into the drooling, snarling maw of a huge alien monster! It has very bad breath and appalling table manners. For you this phone call is over. Click."
