Experiment 10 - Theta

[ 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?

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

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

There must be something we can do . . .

[runs a hand through his hair, frowning]

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

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

But that would be too difficult to predict.

It'd be a lot easier if we could talk to other people. . . tch. Then each team could protect a different team, and we've have all of our bases covered.

Right. Though I doubt a robot that tries to determine popularity through death over asking questions will let us do something like that.

'Course she won't. She's stupid.

. . . so what are we going to do?

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

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