Experiment 10 - Theta

[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.

GLaDOS! What do you mean by 'attack'?

Re: Ask GLaDOS questions here

[shockingly_nice]

In this case, "attack" is loosely defined as, "be filled with bullets."

Re: Ask GLaDOS questions here

[madasahero]

Are those attacks only decided by the teams?

Re: Ask GLaDOS questions here

[shockingly_nice]

Which ones are you referring to? Everyone will be attacked regardless of whether anyone defends themselves. But if you do choose to defend yourself, that will serve as an extra attack for them to have to defend from.

Ooooi, Robot-san! Can we get a deck of cards or something to pass the time now that we've picked?

Re: Ask GLaDOS questions here

[shockingly_nice]

I am not "Robot-san."

Kappa.

[lovedtodeath]

EEK--!!

She can't be serious!! How can anyone decide that sort of thing?

[jackoclubs]

[hand kind of gone still at the instructions, but j-jumps at that noise]

-- she's GLaDOs, that's how.

[madasahero]

Nobody can. It is not a decision anyone should make.

[fishpanties]

By being a horrible, evil, sadistic piece of rusty metal crap.

[fishpanties]

[her hands ball into fists]

T-That no good piece of metallic slime-!

[jackoclubs]

[hand on her shoulder :x he's outwardly calm, but that belies the tension that is definitely sitting on his shoulders]

. . . ask her what she means by "attack."

[madasahero]

...

[fishpanties]

[i hate her i hate her i hate her i hate her]

There has to be a way for us to get out of this without people getting hurt...

[jackoclubs]

[I am over here tense as hell, overusing my brain in an attempt to find a way out of this :(a]

Theta's Game

[madasahero]

Well, I believe it is time for our word game ~

Re: Theta's Game

[jackoclubs]

I've got one!

Someone says a word, and the next person has to say another one that beings with the same letter the one before it ended in. First person who misses, loses.

Results

Please standby to test the new Aperture Science Turret Vertical Assurance Rack. It must be terrible to have an enemy.

[jackoclubs]

[--! on his feet quickly]

An enemy?

Re: Results

[lovedtodeath]

Enemy . . . You can't do this--!

Attack

[aperture_property]

[ A rack of turrets moves up the chute. They are secured in place, unable to tip. Not that you would be able to get close enough to do so. Even before the wall slides up, bullets are flying. They are all directed toward the happy couple. ]
