So at the end of last session, the party took the last page of a report on the Word of Blake's bioweapons program off the the convoy they struck. The page gave a few conclusions to the report it was a part of, and had the end notes, which extensively referenced Clark's doctoral thesis as the basis for the Branth research and the weaponized viral agents the party encountered earlier in the campaign. The goal here was to give Clark the sense that his research was the basis on which the whole WoB program was built on, and give him the opportunity to explore the angst and self-questioning that implies; the kind of roleplaying experience Cameron excels at.
The party got the page and Clark read it. His response?
"Awww!" he said, overjoyed, "They referenced me!"
Facepalm.
Somehow, someway, my PC's always manage to take a different lesson from my plot points than I mean them to. Thank God I'm not a professional writer.
