CIRRUS NETWORK

You find yourselves in a surprisingly sterile room. It's entirely white, almost blindingly so. There are a few beanbag chairs to sit on, though perhaps not enough for your entire family. On one of the walls, there's a laminated poster of a wheel. At the center of the room is a table with a glass case on top. If you lift the case, you'll find a single red button. Behind a glass panel on the wall is a monitor that is currently off.

Curiously, it does not seem as though you can actually destroy anything in this room (save for a simple note by the button), regardless of how much you may try. The glass will never shatter. The poster cannot be torn into pieces. Furthermore, your blessings and powers are off and none of your personal belongings are actually on your person.

A simple note lays by the button on the table, a reminder of your directive: Will you push the button?

That's inevitable, except for those goody-two-shoes religious people everyone's gonna be lookin' out for themselves. Why double-up on it then?

I didn't know you were personally acquainted with everyone here. You must have been very busy since boarding.

[Okay, he grins there.]

I got personally acquainted with all of their food, sure.

Did all of them seem that ruthless to you? Like they'd all immediately decide 'I don't care who I hurt as long as it's someone else'?

Nah, some of 'em were kids who believed in the good of the world or whatever. But most of the people here ain't got kind eyes, so I'd trust 'em as far as I could throw 'em.
