SAM: “So, any ideas on where to go?”

AIDAN: “I think we should ask if there’s a fourth option.”

DANIEL: “What?”

AIDAN: “Well, remember Anders said there were sixteen questions, and some of you heard twelve.”

SAM: “So, we should ask for a fourth option?”

AIDAN: “I don’t see what harm it could do.”

SAM: “Hey, uh, Location?”

???: “ACKNOWLEDGED.”

SAM: “Is there a fourth option?”

SAM: “Uh oh.”

???: “STABILISED. ANSWER: NEGATIVE. FURTHER QUESTIONING INTO OPTION NUMBER DISCOURAGED.”

BONNIE: “Maybe we could take all the choices. Split the group.”

???: “UNNECESSARY.”

SAM: “Okay, okay. Stop asking it questions. It’s just getting unhappy. I think we should go for BALANCE. It sounds safer. Who agrees?”
