Experiment 10 - Gamma

[ The elevators do not take you up to your living area. Rather, they take you DOWN, to a small room with three white walls, and one that is a thick, translucent plastic. There appears to be a chute of some sort behind the plastic wall. ]

Now, in order to determine how well you know each other, we're going to see which teams are the most popular. The rules are simple:

* At the end of the test, each team will suffer an attack. Each attack will kill about half of everyone present.
* You may choose one team (other than your own) to defend from this attack. A team that is defended will not be harmed.
* If you wish to defend yourself instead of another team, you must choose a team to attack.
* You may not refuse to choose.

. . . you know, for a scientist, you have a really bizarre fixation on popularity.

Are you saying that scientists can't be popular?

Not can't, exactly...

That's very small-minded and stereotypical of you.

I guess I just don't have your warm and empathetic heart.

...Hey.

Not you, of course.

[:\] Oh well, it's not like mathletes are much cooler.

Says the guy who doesn't have a huge trophy.

Let's see if you're still saying that after I win a Nobel prize.

You're on.

Popularity, huh. What does that matter to you? Will you take the most popular people and use them to hurt everyone?

Oh no. You've caught on to my nefarious scheme. Whatever shall I do.

Be sarcastic as always, apparently.

So I know you're not going to explain the science behind this now, but what about after the test?

I'll answer that question after the test.

What the science is, or if you'll answer at all?

I'll answer that question after the test.
