but where are the masters of her field?
presumably still running, trying to escape the explosion radius they've estimated

I specifically avoided mentioning the "cubetown ends up exploding and sinking into the ocean through its own mismanagement" because I think Jeph wil go for a softer option, and because I figure Claire would have gotten fired for trying to prevent that from happening through organization before that.

But it was on my mind.

Cubetown exploding is an impossible outcome, anyway. Didn't you read the post-it notes in frames 4 and 6 that specifically say "don't explode"? They've clearly got this down to a "science" :D

Torlek:
Run, Claire. Run far. Run fast. Never trust a starry-eyed startup like this one. They have no idea what they're doing, no concept of reality and all their protestations of "we trust what you'll do" will turn to the most vile invective the moment you try to even suggest that the bounds of reality apply to them.

Tormuse:
From Lemon and Melon to Beepatrice to Moray...  I get the feeling that Jeph has a certain liking for this kind of character.

Wingy:
O.M.G. 

A spreadsheet so large it crashed the director?  And that's how they are organizing their work?  They better have a particle physicist as a janitor; they're going to need him to help contain the mess.  The problem is, will any of them survive the mess after if finally blows?

Another huge red flag is talking to the HR person only, and no one on the technical staff.  Claire needs to stop this interview right here and demand a tour and in-person interview with the director to see what the director has in mind.  Otherwise, this whole situation is totally out of control and getting further crazy by the second.  The fact that this AI has chosen the name Moray, as in the eel, makes this whole situation especially creepy.

Run Claire!  Run!

notStanley:
Of course that huge spreadsheet kept crashing your Directory.  Spreadsheets are not a DATABASE!  You can make something that looks like a database, but it will not scale or perform :{
