You ask the Bureau what they were expecting, Fluorine is the most depraved element so why such a mediocre reward?
The question does not go down well. - GAME OVER
Your Ending
The Bureau exchange glances before the Chairman takes pity and explains you have made a fundamental mistake, not listening properly to the question. The depravity or otherwise of Fluorine wasn’t actually the subject of the question, you were actually asked which was the Bureau’s favourite element and that isn’t Fluorine. That honour goes to the majestic Potassium, as memorialised in song and legend.
Alas you then followed this up with a far more spectacular error - questioning the Bureau while not being a member of the Bureau. Scarcely has he finished speaking than the Stavish Inquisition burst in and drag you away to face punishment for your crimes, both real and invented.

Ranking
- Grand Total = -158pts
- Rating = That’s really spectacularly bad, but then it is widely believed that Bureau justice is a fate worse than death. This is correct and very much intentional.
- Future Life = You attended your show trial expecting little and, while the evidence against you is too long and fictitious to repeat hear, suffice to say it was both amusing and damming. Found guilty of high, low and mediocre treason you are sentenced to lava mining until sorry, as an added twist you are sent to the Vesuvius complex to mine Carobbiite, the main source of naturally occurring Potassium Fluoride.
