text: Having been around the Upcity enough, you step into the black and white van, and onto the black, clean seats.
  
  "Right," says the driver, "It's time. Strap in, this is going to be a long ride..."
  
  The van speeds off, down the road.
  
  You realise, as you are speeding along, that all the other cars outside your vehicle are flying, but your van has wheels. You ask the driver why this is.
  
  "Those flying cars only work on the roads," he explains, "The roads have an electromagnetic track underneath them which allow the cars to levitate. We are going far away from the Upcity, where the roads are all just dirt and sand, with no tracks underneath.
  
  You wonder what "dirt" and "sand" even are.
  
  You travel for a few hours through the glowing metropolis, and you notice that the most common thing you see are adverts; some for soda, others for films and Holo-Series that are coming out in the future.
  
  Eventually, you come out of the City and into a wide, flat plain. The entire land is covered in millions of small plants that look like tiny, upright yellow strands. The driver explains that this plant is "grass", and the area you in is called the "Grass Land" because of it.
  
  You look ahead, and realise you are driving into something. A line of huge, towering plants the size of buildings with brown, hard stems and green tops reach into the sky.
  
  "What on earth is that?" You ask.
  
  "That is where you will be going," says the Driver, "That is the Forest, and it is where the extremists make their home."
  
  It looks terrifying, as you have never seen anything like it in your life.
  
  "Better you than me," says the Driver, "I don't know what lurks under those trees, among the leaves, and I don't want to find out. If it weren't for the freaks inside, we would have destroyed this place ages ago, but they seem to have prepared for everything-even our Helicopter pilots freak out when they get to close, and all A.I. simply jams around here."
  
  Trees? He must mean the giant plants. He doesn't get to close to the forest and lets you out on the plains. He promises to wait there, as the field prevents him from going any further.
  
  You walk across the plains, and the strange taste of the air fills your senses. So many things that you never even imagined are out here, and yet every aspect of your being seems to be more at home here than you ever were in civilisation. Finally, you make it to the forest. There is a a series of metal pylons around the wood-the field emitters. You take a deep breath, find a path, and walk in.
  
  You step on the path, and hear a crunch, making you yelp and jump back. Looking closer, you see the floor is covered in strange, dry plant-matter that made the crunching sound. Are these...the leaves?
  
  You look around the forest, and you hear a twittering noise. Something sits in the tree, covered in a soft, blue material. It seems to be a tiny animal, with two wings, and a beak. You gasp - this can only be the fabled creature known as a "bird"! The most exotic animal you have ever seen are the rats in the Underville, and you didn't believe the myths about ancient creatures known as "pigeon-birds" that supposedly lived in the Underville before they went extinct. As if animals could fly without aid! Yet here is one, alive and in the flesh.
  
  "Beautiful here, isn't it?" Says a voice behind you. You turn and see a man, clad in simple robes, behind you. This must be one of the extremists!
  
  "Stay away!" You shout, stumbling over something and hitting the ground. The man chuckles.
  
  "Watch out for logs next time," he says, "Come on, I'll help you up." He helps you to your feet.
  
  "I know why you're here," he says, grimly, "You want the Device. Well, if that is what you really want, I shall take you to it and you can do whatever you want with it. On the way, I shall tell you my story, the story of Birch Oak, so you will be able to make your final decision."
  
  You walk through the woods, past things apparently called rivers and bushes, and the man, called Birch Oak, tells you his tale.
  
  "When the Desire Chips were invented," Birch Oak explains, "The wisest among humanity saw this as an abomination. Some thought that it interfered with our god, or gods, will, and refused to accept these chips on religious grounds. Others did not believe in gods, but still thought there was some kind of spiritual power that decided things, which we should not attempt to seperate our minds from. Still other believed in purely practical and logical arguments, that using these Chips would open up a can of worms that would ruins our minds permanently. Whatever their beliefs, all these people banded together and created their own civilisation, far away from that degenerate Hell that the City Folk had sleepwalked into. We all decided to live naturally, as was intended, far into the wilderness, and gave ourselves the name "Woodfolk". A few of our descendents were scientists, and they created special devices that would keep our enemies at bay. So we lived here, living simple lives and keeping our minds and our brains and our bodies free of the pollution and control of technology. But lately, the City Folk began to get more aggressive, so we decided that there was only one thing for it. We stole their Main Computer Device, and we have been trying to use it to save humanity. You see, this machine has the power to deactivate every single Chip on the planet. Humanity will return to its natural state; no longer desiring work or junk or whatever nonsense has been programmed into their brains. They will see the world as it is meant to be seen, love what they are meant to love and despise what they are meant to despise. We could not manage this, however, since the encryption was too strong...however, we know you have been sent to us with a black USB, that has been programmed only to respond to your DNA. That USB bypasses every encryption on the Device, and it will give you the option to switch the device off. Do not do this! Instead, use the option we have tried to program in - use the device to switch off every single chip on the planet!"
  
  "But that will have drastic consequences," you point out.
  
  "Aboslutely," says Birch Oak, "Humans will no longer love their jobs, certainly nowhere near as much as they do now, meaning that every civilisation will crumble. and will likely be reverted to a pre-industrial state. Everyone who wants to survive will have to re-learn the old ways; they will have to learn agriculture, or scanvenge. I do not deny that humanity will be in for a couple of rough decades, likely even a few rough centuries.
  
  But if we do not do this, if we allow the Chips to run rampart, then we will have lost all hope for humanity. However, if we switch off the chips, we can pray that humanity will learn from their mistake and never, ever repeat it again. It all depends on what you value...if you think that humanity is better off with Chips in their brains that fundementally change who they are, then by all means, destroy the Device. We won't stop you; we do not allow violence against any being. However, if you disagree with this, then I urge you to switch off the Chips, and save humanity."
  
  Eventually, you make it to the Woodfolk camp. There are so many people here; old people, young children and all in between. Huts made of wood surround the encampment, and a makeshift tent lies in the middle. You go into the tent, and see a small, black laptop, hooked up to some solar panels. The Computer Device, the one that can decide the fate of the whole world.
  
  You have a series of options here...
  
  > Desmond's Option - Destroy the Device, keeping things running as they are
  You plug in the black USB and choose the "Destroy the Device" option. The screen goes blue, then shuts off for good.
  
  The Woodfolk around you look shocked. Birch Oak looks to you with a sad expression on his face.
  
  "You made your choice," he says, "Now leave. Leave and never come back." You are escorted outside, and return to the van...
  
  You were taken back to the Upcity, and treated like a King. The Device was destroyed, and society had been saved, but at what cost?
  
  The world went on much the same, for a while. People went into their jobs, beamming and smiling all the while, not even considering the idea of enjoying anything else. Human society happened so efficientally and quickly that, pretty soon, in filled up the entire surface of the planet, and there was not a single trace of any natural habitats left. The Chips became more and more advanced until the workers became nothing more than drones who's every waking thought was filled with work and who's every dream was filled with desire for more work. The rich lived in oppulance, for a while, until they found out how to hack their own Chips, quickly and easily. They quickly discovered that the Chips could be used to simply keep their brains in an eternal state of bliss, and they sat there, doing nothing, until they died of starvation and dehydration, leaving only the workers left. Eventually, with no one left to give them orders, they had no more work, and they all died of despair. Humanity went extinct, leaving a ruined world in their wake...
