Topic	nonary nonsense: giggs plays zero time dilemma
Giggsalot 10/09/18 5:27:32 PM #88:	Reality Q awakens alone and frightened in the Q ward lounge, and a voiceover reveals that Mira has already escaped and every other game participant is dead. he falls to the floor in disarray, and flashbacks flood his brain of the deaths of the C and D teams, and Mira's subsequent rampage. he wonders aloud how he possibly survived, and Zero, listening as ever, appears on screen and suggests he visit the Quantum Computer Dome... ...where he comes face to face with Zero. this is a real "intake of breath" moment, which is good, because what Zero starts to say is less shocking - Q is essentially a computational human clone lacking consciousness, designed by Zero to help in his plan. Zero then lures him into one last seemingly obtuse decision game - will he choose to duplicate his data and send a copy of himself to a virtual world, or have his existence erased entirely? --- what kind of life is this? Q decides not to press the button and opts for non-existence. Zero politely obliges, and stands over the shell of Q's body as his consciousness evaporates away into the ether forever. GAME OVER --- life or death? this isn't difficult. Sean presses the button, and his consciousness is preserved. he awakens as a human child in a hospital, his surgery a success. Sean has a happy childhood and a rich, rewarding life in his hard-boiled wonderland, and not a single thought of a strange man in an overgrown bird mask ever crosses his mind. d'awwwwww. HAPPY END --- life or death? this isn't difficult. Q presses the button, and his consciousness is preserved. but while his identical self is living his dreams in an unseen wonderland, Q remains here. he asks Zero how this can be, and Zero tells him a tale of his human counterpart, who was the ill child caught up in one of Zero's "unfair" stories. he implies that he, a senior citizen, met Sean there, and grew attached to the boy's learnedness and stoic nature. before he walks away, he gives Q an eight digit number. Q quickly tries it on his helmet input pad, and his helmet falls off to reveal... nothing underneath. life is unfair. GAME OVER --- And if you don't know, now you know. <cite>Giggsalot posted [p:910247138] in nonary non...
