Get Famous Chance Card: Corporate Takeover

The situation: My sim Amanda is the CEO, but not majority owner, of a company called CyberLife (bot/servo manufacturer). CyberLife plays in a major league, so naturally their direct competitors are large, too. Amanda just got a chance card that allowed her to take over a direct rival of her company. Naturally she took the opportunity, now I need to decide who exactly was that rival?

Amanda might also opt to not take over a rival, but snatch the majority of her own company instead. She is an A.I. (ingame: ghost) with the primary objective to ensure CyberLife's survival and wellbeing. Becoming sole owner would ensure that no pesky meatbag gets in the way, but on the other hand eating a rival will make CyberLife stronger.
Amanda's hobbys include gardening and everything "weeb" culture, so there's a small chance she might glitch and grab something hobby related.

The question is now: WHO DO WE SWALLOW?

The companies' real world counterparts are:
Spoiler
Plumbobsoft is Microsoft, Rainbow Origin is Blue Origin (Amazon's space program), Henford Automotive is Ford (who are much weaker than the rest, globally, but the 2nd largest power in the city my story happens in and therefore annoying to CyberLife), Vocalosim is Vocaloid (singing anime A.I.s)


What should she choose?
  • I think Amanda can't miss the opportunity to buy that Strangerville Lab and put those gardening skills to use and study those mysterious alien plants and solve mysteries of outer space. I vote for this one.

    I say grab more (as in all) of the power she's already got, and she'll be in an even better position for the next time something particularly enticing comes around. :wink:
  • CyberLife is in the lead, but everyone on the poll is on Amanda's virtual "shopping list" for later anyway, either by another chance card or gameplay.

    I'll leave this open for another ten hours (until I open my game again).
