Who do you give it to?



You're walking along one day when you find a strange almost etheral device on the floor. You pick it up out of curiosity and keep walking.

Suddenly Alyx Vance appears before you with a hand on her holster and says "That's the Combine infusers I was looking for! I need you to pass that over to me right now before they use it to teleport an army right here to invade and kill us all."

Then before you could even spell your name or react, you hear the sound of a gun being loaded behind you and turn to see Lara Croft dual-weilding pistols pointed right at you. "That relic is the only thing Natla needs to bring about the 7th age and destroy the world. I need you to give it to me. I don't want to hurt either of you but I will if you make me."

Then there is a puff of smoke and Batgirl emerges from within it, crouched ontop of a nearby fence with batgadgets at the ready before saying "Hand Brainiac's prove over to me right now citizen! you have no idea how much danger you're in. If I don't dispose of it immediately he will come here and destroy all of mankind."

You're now trapped between the 3 of them all in a stand off expecting you to hand it to them.

They can't all be right obviously, but with so much at stake who would you give it to in the moment?

Have them all present their evidence that it is what they claim.

They all want to destroy it. Let them hash it out. I have no stake in it.

Except you are literally standing in the middle of them.

Ietting them "hash it out" means you die unless Batgirl outspeeds bullets then dominates you and them

Which is like expecting honesty from a Republican. Not impossible but it's a gamble

Both Alyx and all 3 incarnations of Lara have shown no hesitation in murdering humans for their own gain

1. Sit item down.
2. Back away slowly.

They have no reason to attack me when I no longer have the item they want and am actively moving away from it.

it sounds like for all of them, they just want it destroyed, so there's no real conflict of interests at all

Except that puts you slap bang in tthe middle of the line of fire when all three start attacking.

Way I see it, if that's your desire to have them fight it out then toss it off to Batgirl. Since that will make Lara and Alyx aim at her, not you.

That seems to maximize your chances of getting away.

Unless you're super into game theory.

Brainiac is by far the most dangerous of the three threats. Batgirl gets it.

Definitely not giving it to Lara, it will end up in the hands of the bad guys anyways.

Like literally 90% of the new Tomb Raider games is you solving the puzzles and fetching the quest objects for the people youre supposedly trying to stop. Lara could have ended multiple major catastrophes just by staying home.

There's that bit in Tomb Raider Anniversary I like where you're competing with Pierre to get to the Scion first.

He actually beats you to it. Then puts a gun to your head and asks you to hand over the piece you found in the previous tomb. You refuse and he's genuinely pissed off like "You're seriously going to die for this? Don't be a fool!"

Then a monster turns up and he throws the scion away because it's not worth dying over.

Then the monster kills him anyway which pissed me off. That's too good a character to die like that

Surprising good writing

I attach a block of C4 to it, throw it off a cliff, and use the remote detonater to blow it up. Everyone goes home satisfied.

The Stargate series taught me that a little C4 solves a great deal of problems, and I live fairly near the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, so there's bound to be a cliff not too far away, so not that completely unrealistic (at least somewhat more realistic than your scenarios).

Because he didn't know that was going to happen

She can call in Batman who can handle all 3 threats simultaneously.
