This is a do not press this button
This button stand is covered in warnings that say not to press it. Huh. Guess you shouldn't press it. The button is exposed. You can now press it, but there's no doubt that it's a horrible idea. Come on now, just walk away. Do the smart thing. Remember the sunk costs fallacy? Sure you spent a lot of time getting this far, but that doesn't mean throwing good time after bad will turn out any better. Look, curiosity is good and all that, especially for a member of a research station, but you know full well there's some things that just shouldn't be pursued, and I can tell you with the utmost certainty that this is one of them. Yes, I used *I*. I'm literally breaking the fourth wall in an examine text to speak directly to you, not as a character, but a player. One man behind the man to another, so to speak. I mean, I coded this button. I KNOW what it does. If you're the first player to get this far you probably don't, but lemme tell you, it's not worth it. We're both going to walk away from this very disappointed in ourselves. I mean granted, it's not like this is some pretentious thought experiment or moral lecture or anything, I just don't want you to press it. I'm not asking for much here. This is all assuming you've actually been examining the object between each deconstruction step though, if not I guess it was a big waste of time to write all this.
