[At the end of that one hour (that seemed so much longer than just one hour could be), hopefully everyone's gathered in the cafeteria. The doors to the other side of the space station open to reveal two figures, a man and a woman. The woman is dressed in sharp business clothes, tapping away on some kind of a device that looks similar to but sleeker than a smart phone. The man with her has a circle beard and bleached blond hair, shorter but thick with muscle, wearing a checked button-up shirt with a gold chain peeking through the collar and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He scratches at his non-dominant forearm (which, nonetheless, is bare).]

Welcome, Champions, to the...

Champion Excellence Program.

Yeah, the Champion Excellence Program. As you may have noticed reading the rules, there's only one way out of here: Rule 7. But just in case going home isn't enough for you, we've decided to add an extra incentive.

[The woman barely looks up from her phone, like she's doing a headcount of the Champions.] The Champion who successfully proves their Excellence by murdering a fellow Champion and escaping punishment will receive an all-expenses-paid space cruise to the Vegas Quadrant.

[The man gives his companion a deadpan look and then looks at the Champions.]

Any questions?

[This... has got to be some sort of ridiculous joke, right?]

You've... not explained what the Champion Excellence Program is, or why we were chosen for it.

[Murder in exchange for freedom can't possibly be right, can it...?]

[The woman glances up from her device to look at Miki and tosses her long hair back a little from her face before looking back down at her screen.]

"The Champion Excellence program is an experimental program where individuals of extraordinary talent, here known as Champions, are brought together to live communally. A Champion who successfully kills another Champion and evades detection will be granted the title of Ultimate Champion and be allowed to leave the experiment."

How's that?
