  • This house, upon discovery, would immediately release the contents of the Fulcrum to the global public

    Infoslide

    It is 2025, the world is on the brink of war, and you find yourself in possession of an item called the "Fulcrum". The Fulcrum is a chip containing all the names of powerful individuals (politicians, scientists, world leaders, etc.) composing a global shadow government called the Cabal. By orchestrating wars, controlling economic recesses, and swaying the tides of political tumult, the Cabal designs what reality looks like for the average unassuming individual, while making them seem like organic, disorganized consequences of the decisions of people in power. To execute their operations properly, the Cabal’s existence must remain a secret.

  • This house, as humanity, would embrace a coexistence with the SAKRI

Their purpose is not domination or control, but to become coinhabitants of the human mind, forming a cognitive alliance wherein their rational digital logic and humans' emotional, creative instincts combine to correct perceived flaws in human nature such as aggression, bias, selfishness, and shortsightedness.

  • This house, as Gadd, W accept the offer to make Netflix's "Baby Reindeer"

    Infoslide

    The year is 2020. Richard Gadd is a moderately successful British comedian known in the live performance circuit. He has written and performed a one-man stage monoluge titled "Baby Reindeer", a raw and emotionally intense account of his life between 2015–2017, intended as one-time preformance for the Edinbrugh fringe festival. The show covers Gadd's experiences of being groomed and sexually abused by a well-known T.V. producer, and his prolonged stalking by a woman he met while working as a bartender. Upon watching the show, a Netflix producer approaches Gadd, offering him the opportunity to adapt Baby Reindeer into a Netflix drama miniseries. The show would depict the events described in Gadd's monologue, have him star and write substantial portions of it, and would require a full- time contract with Netflix, preventing him from doing comedy during the show's production.

Lumos has offered you a job offer with a liveable wage only if you undergo the Severance Procedure."
