John is on his way to work. His work is situated around the outskirts of the capital. He's about 82 km north of this, in the heart of the city. He's just tripped over his own foot in an act commonly know as unbelievable clumsiness. This has led to his face being approximately 0 cm from the ground and very sore. As the worker cleaning the seats outside a Cafe decides to laugh at him, he valiantly gets up off the ground - face still covered in the dirt of the pavement - and proudly announces,

"You dare laugh at the Junior Adviser of Pencil Colouring who works at possibly the most important stationery supplier in the whole world: Generic Stationery & Art Supplies Co.! You must be mad! Get back in your lowly place before I report you to the government for defamation! You can't even walk the streets these days without the slimy lowly lowers of society laughing in your face, I tell you! Ridiculous!"

To further prove his terrible point, John decides to walk into the grandest, largest, most notably golden building in the area. Unfortunately for John this building happens to contain quite a few actually important people and even worse, he is the kind of person who can look like anyone.

"Ahh, Vandon! Did you get caught in traffic - what happened to your face? You crazy man, four hours we've been waiting for you! Get on to your office. Paperwork has been accumulating and demands your attention. This is a big day. Hurry!"

John doesn't know what to do, the receptionist has just shouted at someone to get to work, is beckoning at the door, and he is the only other person in the room. Suddenly stripped out of his position at Generic Stationery & Art Supplies Co., the gentle blue hexidecimal he's been remembering becomes meaningless and all order is lost. John hesitantly steps through the door.

The blandest man in the world now has to design the most important engineering feat the country has ever seen.

John quickly finds out through a scan of the paperwork on his desk that he is tasked with designing the new bridge over the gap, the very thing replacing the old bridge which had collapsed and caused him to get lost on his way to work. His first course of action is to buy five packets of pink plastic straws and some tape.
