Written Task: While the hyperintelligent mice are being cleaned off the boards with a kitchen scraper, the coaches of the mouse team pull you aside and, in squeaky voices vaguely reminiscent of sped-up recordings, tell you you're almost ready. Ignoring your questions, they ask you to take the ice with your team in a friendly match against some robots. They assure you the robots are not capable of lethal force and that the corporeal forms of their battered comrades were "disposable anyway", so no need to worry about anything as childish as revenge. How does your player's presence with your alien team change the team's dynamic? Will you be a player coach, or trust the alien you're replacing on the ice to take bench duties for this game?

I am pretty confident in an alien head coach to be able to coach the game correctly at this point. They have their insight into the game and have learned a lot form me. Speaking of me I am really excited to get back onto the ice, since being "asked" to coach this team I feel like I'm not at the top of my game, so getting to blast some robots sound right up my alley. The team has already seen a little of what I can do from practices and from them watching my games. The transition to player probably won't be seamless but I'm not too worried about chemistry, I know these players perhaps better then they know themselves. I'm not sure the robots not being capable of using lethal force really makes me feel that much better but I guess it's something. On the other hand I'll get to final find out the answer to the age old question...... do robots feel fear?
