[Mikes]

His finger slipped from the trigger and the room around him dissolved until he stood on a field of white lattices beside a man in a lab coat.

“Let me guess, this was a test to test if I could do it?”

“No, it was to see how you handle finding out it was a simulation.”

~the room dissolved~

“Actually, we needed to see how you could give bad news to a recruit…”

~room dissolved~

“.. to test your simulation shutdown protocols...”

~dissolved~

“…test how you marked a proper procedure…”

~dissolve~

“.. to see if you could pass as human.”

-the room dissolved-

"Test to check Varda shutdown protocol."

[Varda]

Whoa. My mind is blown. Initiating shutdown...

-the room dissolved-

"Test to check Varda shutdown protocol."

-the room dissolved-

Head hurts now.

[Mikes]

That would suggest that god is the person who says, "have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?"
