Aight we need to be sure about what to do, or it will all just be up to Gime's whims. We must maximize the chance of everyone surviving, excluding ourselves. So here's the plan:
>Toss the apple.
This will distract Athena and Helios. Hopefully it won't distract Hermes and "Mors" as well, but it's the only way we can be absolutely sure that Athena will let us go. We cannot rely on her deciding to let us go, because she has been a pawn in leading up to this moment. She was the one who suggested to summon Mors. The game does not take into account our actions when calculating the death clock, but that does not stop things from going horribly wrong wherever it can. Murphy's Law and all that. If tossing the apple is our best bet, then we should do it, don't even bother asking Athena to let us go first, every second counts here. Alternatively we could whack Athena with our love hammer to gain a small window of time in which to wriggle out of her grasp. Though, that might just make her tighten the grip instead. Or maybe she'll do some flips and martial arts that hammer into next week. I dunno. The apple seems like the best bet to me.
>Run in between Hermes and Mors.
If Hermes does not end the roomtrap immediately, we will die. Like, no question. But that's fine, as long as Athena survives. But she's currently being distracted by an apple, so unless the roomtrap ends fast, there's not much we can do for her. Anyway, we're gonna sacrifice ourselves to save Hermes. Hopefully that will earn us mass cred among the other gods watching Player TV, that we will straight up get ourselves killed to save a friend. This is of course assuming we're even fast enough to get between them in time. But hey, points for trying.
>You: "End the roomtrap, Hermes!"
Again, if Hermes does not end the roomtrap right away, we will die. And while that's fine, it also kinda sucks. I think Athena would respect this plan way more if we survive it. Pretty sure that's like, a common bias people have. If the results are good, the plan was good, or at least not completely terrible. Though I may just be overthinking it. Either way, Hermes needs to end the roomtrap. The longer he waits, the more robots blow up. Hermes may have been distracted by the apple, but if it works anything like that robot lamp did, it might make him listen to commands, in which case the roomtrap definitely ends here.
>You: "Get away from the TV, Somnus and Cronus!"
If we say this, it will be our final words. If Hermes does not end the roomtrap right away, we'll have time for it. And if we can, we should. Cronus is the current leader of the universe, I'm pretty sure. That makes him at least somewhat important. Somnus might be mad at Hermes now for killing his bro, but dude, you do not kill the dog. That's just not ok. I want both of them to live. So let's at least do what we can.
Pretty sure I covered everything there.
