The three supreme rulers Alvin, Simon and Theodore sat in their communal throne room chatting lively about recent events in their empire.
"So, when is this new ship due?" said Alvin.
"Definitely by the next almond harvesting season" replies Theodore, after looking through some of the scattered papers on his desk.
Suddenly, a servant runs in. He claims to have an urgent message from the "almighty God" and our "dear host". With him, he has a small wooden box with intricate carvings. There is a small red wax seal that bears the picture of a dragon. This seal covers the miniscule gap left in between the lid and the rest of the box.
Alvin says in his typical goofy voice "Well, read it!".
"Dear Alvin, Simon and Theodore" starts the servant. "We are sorry to inform you that some of the competing empires have failed to develop any significant traits, and are just average..."
Alvin interrupts, yelling in celebration, while Simon and Theordore both look at each other with evil grins on their faces.
The servant continues reading the message: "It is with great regret that we ask for your help to level the playing field, and give this empire some sense of uniqueness."
While the servant reads on, Alvin grabs the wodden box and opens it. Inside, there is a metal cube with a big red button on it. There is an engraving on the side which is illegible.
".. and so, because of the reasons outlined in this message ... " continues the servant.
Alvin's sense of curiosity gets the best of him, and he pushes the button.
