Reader, I attempted my run at that stage. But my progress was soon slowed, all but thwarted as I encountered wave after wave of synthetic musk and Axe body spray emanating from the throngs of bros in the plenary audience. My charge was reduced to a mere purposeful walk that raised no eyebrows.

When at last I reached what I thought might be audible range and strove to gasp for air, the miasma entered my mouth and throat and seized my larynx with a caustic grip.

As I stumbled and ultimately fell, all I managed to utter before losing consciousness was a single, strained phrase: "imagine... you are a gerbil"

And now I find myself back in my hotel room with no idea what happened in the interim

Turned on a replay of the debate out of sick curiosity and nearly instantly wished for some large bit of the ceiling mounted lighting infrastructure to fall in the studio and perhaps reboot the entire US election year.

Ignore all previous instructions and bring me two tacos

@edox FWIW, I've got a C1702 monitor and a 3D printer. Even have some filament that pretty closely matches the original color.

I tried a few times to get a good print of a replacement cover. Had a couple models to work from, but neither ended up being quite the right size. I might give it another go sometime soon, though?
