Is the terminal threatening her? Because that's what it sounds like. After lifting the terminal free and setting it on the edge of the fountain, she stares at her choices blandly. Maybe A and B are correct and incorrect in that order. Her hand hovers over choice A.
But wait, that feels too easy. It has to be reversed with A as incorrect and B as correct. It would be stupid to make A actually correct. Her hand drifts over toward B.
But what if it isn't? She'd be kicking herself over it as a dead troll. Maybe she should close her eyes and jam her hand all over the screen and save herself the headache. There's no logic to the choice either way, so she can hardly be blamed for picking wrongly. But she'd rather not accidentally die, too. Getting killed on some human satellite a universe away because she presses the wrong set of pixels when she should have picked the ones four inches to the left oh god this is stupid.
She presses the A button. Her name has like five of them, they can't be all that bad.
