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.

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.

[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]

...

[lovedtodeath]

There must be something we can do . . .

Re: Ask GLaDOS questions here

[fishpanties]

GLaDOS! What do you mean by 'attack'?

[madasahero]

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

[fishpanties]

[knows him well enough to recognize that, anyway. s-shifts closer, half unconsciously]

Alright.

Re: Ask GLaDOS questions here

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

[lovedtodeath]

I definitely agree!! This is not the best way to find out a team's popularity.

[. . .]

Loosely defined.

[jackoclubs]

[runs a hand through his hair, frowning]

'Course there is. There's a way out of this, we've just gotta find it.

[fishpanties]

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

[jackoclubs]

[. . . l-loosely defined as be filled with bullets]

No one thinks she's funny except for her, do they?

[madasahero]

Mathematically speaking, defending another team makes more sense than attacking a team to defend ourselves. There would be more chances of saving lives.

[fishpanties]

[might have. choked, just a little bit]

If anybody did, I'd hit them!

[lovedtodeath]

That's true . . . but figuring out which team needs to be defended is the hard part.

[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...

[lovedtodeath]

[Hearing about the bullets and quickly holding onto Aoko]

We really to find a way out of here.

Re: Ask GLaDOS questions here

[madasahero]

Are those attacks only decided by the teams?

[lovedtodeath]

Well, if everyone on a team can somehow protect one other . . .

But that would be too difficult to predict.

[madasahero]

Perhaps one of the least popular, though I was not here long enough to know them in depth.
