AMALTHEA

You can communicate with the other COUNTRIES, but you only have an hour to save HUMANITY.

This is your last chance. Press the BUTTON.

Diz said it seems to mirror a concept she's familiar with. Everybody has this power, everybody is worried that someone else will use that power on them, so attack first.

It's a game of trust.

Whether or not we press the button, something's going to happen. And since we're able to speak to each other ... it's probably a game of testing whether or not we do what we say we will. We can say "we're not pushing it" and then do it because we don't want to die.

Whatever happens, I don't want to become a liar to people I consider my friends. If all of the other teams decide to take a certain unanimous action ... I'm okay with standing with them.

I agree. [ as if that should be really any surprise here ]

It really is more complex than she's presenting it.
