Two hours go by. Deviant keeps messaging the guy, what's going on? He says he had to finish setting up the Dropbox, but he couldn't get the keyboard to work to configure it.

This one tested all three. But there's kind of a moral code that Deviant has when testing people, or otherwise known as social engineering.

But bad guys don't really have these moral codes. They might wrestle the guard to the ground, tie him up in the elevator, or break some windows to get in. I mean, it's possible to figure out where the owner of the company lives and kidnap their kids, holding them for ransom for some company data.
