Experiment 10 - Gamma

[testingphase]

[ 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.

...As far as I can tell, they're just a bunch of jerks. So somehow I doubt other teams would vote to protect them.

[notably avoiding the question]

[universalboy]

The same goes for Alpha, but if that's your reason, I can understand. Do you think Beta would protect itself, then?

[halfcrocked]

....No, I think that Coulson guy would definitely want to protect a different team.

[universalboy]

Agreed. I guess I should explain my reasons for Delta...

It's because I don't think the new people will be able to cope with dying very well. Not that I expect everyone or anyone to cope with dying well, period, but I'm worried about them.

[halfcrocked]

...That's a good point.

[universalboy]

But now I'm wondering if someone else will do it for the same reason. Beta seems more likely to left open... and Alpha will probably vote for themselves.

[ . . . I don't want to push this but I want to protect Cam but I don't want to push this . . . ]

If you say so. You probably know them better than I do.

Thank you for the confidence? We'll figure this out.

[halfcrocked]

Of course.
