Zero Context 9: the panty room

Dark blue background with the words "Zero Context" overlaid. A large 9 sits inside a distressed red square.

After weeks locked in the Virtue’s Last Reward lounge, Axe and Nathalie finally step through the 9 door, only to discover a barren desert awaiting them. With nowhere left to go, they ponder the broken logic of the prisoner’s dilemma, why they have all these gold files, and who gets to use the big rock. Before fully crumbling under the weight of so much cursed knowledge, they stumble upon a transmitter and receive a message from what remains of the outside world.
