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?

We can punch him after the performance if we MUST.

Sorry. My vote has become biased in a certain direction because of his persistence.

Okay, well. We'll factor out your twin.

It's the reason why I would argue to push the button in the first place.

We could still get hit by a punishment even if we hit it, though. It doesn't guarantee our safety.

It doesn't. But it won't be my fault, so no one will complain to me about it.

But whoever WE hit when we fire randomly into the crowd might come complain to us...

They might.

I don't think there's really a good answer here. I'm only explaining my own perspective.
