>You hit the road!
>Moment pass, and nothing untoward happens. You wince a bit at a bump in the road, but otherwise nothing bad. This moments stretch out into a minute as you leave the bridge and the little woods behind for more corn fields. Another minute passes, and then another. You think you're in the clear.

>You show her how to move between programs and the basics of chat. "I might do that," she says.
>You get back on the road. Shortly afterward, you ask ask traps. "It's not about strength, usually, so much as getting around their instincts. Most servants are just too good to fall for a simple snare. I don't know if I could just trick one easily."

>"If we can lure someone into, I don't know, an empty clearing or an abandoned building, I might be able to do something with it." says Archer. "But the trick is getting them in there."
>That's definitely a danger.
>You hook up your phone to the radio at one point, and play some Journey. It's close enough to 80s pop! Archer seems bewildered by this, but doesn't complain. The trip continues peacefully and monotonously, passing through little nowhere towns in Indiana one by one. The afternoon wears on a bit, and you realize that you're probably not going to get anywhere near your goal before the sun goes down. You can try to find a place to stay early in the afternoon and give yourself plenty of time to rest and screw around. Or you can push on until later and hope for the best. Worse comes to worst, you can sleep in the car, but that  is guaranteed to be unpleasant.

You did. That's counted as the last option.
