See What Happens When Six Are Thrown to the Wolves
19 January 2015
Six characters are put on a space ship simulator. They are told that if they don't press a panic button (which will release everyone), they will reap huge financial benefits. Things go along fine (despite Michael Constantin's boorish character) for some time. But soon things begin to happen on board. Constantin believes he has been attacked and nearly strangled. He is found fighting with bed covers. Other challenges include a poor man who lost is daughter. A doll like the one she had appears in the man's bed. There is a sudden loss of oxygen and people collapse. One of the women on board, a rather plain female scientist, realizes that she is growing old and barren and so she comes on to the men on board. The situation is quite good but the way things play out is really ludicrous.
