[WP] A nanny bot has entered your law firm today and announced its intention to sue for custody of its child. According to the manufacturer, sentience of this model is “physically impossible.”	2
[WP] An interstellar war rages overhead. Earth can only guess between who and over what as they make dangerous maneuvers around Jupiter and across the Kuiper belt. We ready our pitiful defenses, unsure of our fate in the aftermath, until ship with a single pilot crashes into someone's backyard.	2
[WP] Two weeks ago your troop was ordered to capture a stranded enemy soldier. Since then you’ve giving him medical care, and been sharing cigars and playing cards. But the rest of the order that was lost along the way just arrived- you’re supposed to be brutally interrogating him about an attack.	2
[WP] Tired of a corrupt, unopposed sheriff, you surprise the entire county by running and winning. You're suddenly the highest law official in the county. But as you take office, it becomes clear 'misuse of government position' was the least of your predecessor's crimes, and most were in on it.	2
[WP] The victim was a known marksman, and we collected 18 9mm casings and three spent 12ga. shells. There is no evidence of penetration or ricochet in any of the walls, but all of the blood belongs to the victim. We believe the intruder was struck, but there is no evidence it existed at all.	2
[WP] We lost to our alien overlords, but not without using most of our nuclear arsenal. They didn't like that. As 'reparations', 1 mil. each of our most fit men and women must be sent to them each year for soldiers. Today, you got your draft letter.	2
[WP] You're a real estate agent who caters nearly exclusively to supervillains, witches, warlocks, monsters, and wealthy evil-doers. Pick a post (or two) from r/evilbuildings and write a summary about it for a new client.	2
[SP] Music for dessert.	2
[WP] To accommodate the vastness of space, the next evolution of government had to be achieved- as tribes to kingdoms to states. Interstellar empires needed AI to prevent cults or other insanity in extreme cultural isolation. This AI wants a seat at the table.	2
[WP] “Boss, we went to kill that n***o-lovin’ marshall like ya told us, but he killed Clem. Sumthin’ ain’t right about that Marshall boss. He talks real funny, got a gun I ain’t never seen before that don’t run out a bullets, he’s bullet proof, and can see in the dark. I don’t think he’s from here.”	2
