What have you done to me?
Command
Please remain calm. You have been selected to be a part of scientific experiment.
User
You’ve abducted me! Where the hell am I?! What is this room?
Command
That will come in due time.
Command
I cannot tell you who I am, but I am a scientist who has many unanswered questions.
Command
And that is why you’re here. To help me solve these questions.
User
What? Why is the door locked?
User
What does this computer have to do with anything?
Command
It’s purely for confidential purposes so that you do not learn my identity.
User
Okay. So tell me what the hell is going on.
Command
Let’s begin with an introduction.
Command
There are two theories I aim to test at this compound.
Command
Here is the first question that you should consider: how many men can force themselves to kill another person?
Command
And not for joy, but rather, for the sake of morality.
Command
What are the odds that I can find a person who is willing to kill, because it is the right thing to do in a certain situation.
User
What do you mean by “in a certain situation?”
Command
We will get to that. But what are the odds?
Command
One out of a hundred?
User
You want odds on this? You are insane!
Command
No. I’m just a scientist looking for answers.
Command
And here is the second theory
Command
How many lives are worth the life of a certain individual?
Command
I’ll put it in clearer terms.
Command
What is the number of random people, people you do not know, you would let be murdered before you would let yourself die?
User
I can’t answer that. I have no idea.
Command
Well let me explain the conundrum that I believe arises
Command
If you say 100 people, then I might ask: why not 99 then?
Command
And you will agree that there is not a difference, and then I will again ask: when not 98 then?
User
Why not 0? You ever think of that??
Command
You would also agree that the number of 98 people is not any different from 99 people.
Command
This will keep happening all the way until we get to two people.
Command
Once we get to two people, I would naturally ask: “why not one person then?”
User
Well there are greater odds that I will be more selfless in my lifetime than any random person I would select.
Command
Exactly. So we would stop at two people.
Command
So for this theory, I think that two is the proper number to test.
User
I’m not going to be involved in this you know.
Command
Now for the combination of these two theories.
Command
So in order to test both these theories at once, I give you two options right now.
Command
You can choose the option of me going into a nearby town and killing two random people.
User
What!? No. Absolutely not!
Command
You do not have to watch or even see these people.
Command
You will have no connection to these murders whatsoever.
User
Are you crazy? There’s no way!
Command
The other option is in which you have to kill only one person.
User
I’m done. I’m not doing this.
Command
For this option, you must murder this person with your own two hands.
User
Neither! I’m not going to do this.
Command
You don’t have a choice.
Command
I will choose the first option for you if you don’t make decision.
User
Well I’m leaning towards that one anyway.
Command
Is that your final decision?
User
I don’t know. I just don’t know
Command
I need an answer.
Command
You know the implications. No response is still an answer.
User
No. The first one is easier,
User
I just live couldn’t live with myself
User
I don’t know. I have to do this.
User
I don’t want to. But I have to.
User
I’ll go with the second one.
User
I’ll kill one person
Command
As you wish. The door to your left is now unlocked.
Command
Once you enter this room, you will find the person that you must kill.
User
Who is it? I have to know before I open that door
Command
I can’t tell you.
User
Is it someone I know?
Command
If you don’t the task, you will have chosen to first option by default.
User
Okay, I’m going to open the door.
User
Wait, there’s no one in here. There’s just a gun on the floor…
