You enter a small chamber with no immediate signs of danger. Then suddenly you see a small disk rise out of the ground with a small screen displaying a countdown to detonation. Someone will have to find a way to find a way to stop it or the explosion will fill the entire room. Action | Requirement | Result | Disarm | Wit 8 | All tributes advance. End event. | Sacrifice | Agility 2 | Spend an action to throw yourself on top of the bomb at the last moment. You die, but all other tributes advance with no penalty. End event. |
Penalty: If you do not complete the event, the bomb explodes. Lose 2 HP.

Ayla entered the chamber and immediately noticed the bomb. Well shit! She knew that it was literally impossible for her to disarm the bomb, no matter how many times she tried.

"There was a division of Peace Keepers that worked in bomb defusing," Seth said dryly. "Of course I had to be on the Command track. I know dozens of guys that could disarm this thing no problem, but me... I have no clue what I'm doing."
Seth crawled over to the device. What if he pulled a wrong wire? There was no other option. He dug into the controls.

Ayla approached the area where the bomb sat. This was it. This would determine the rest of the games. Would they both go on, or just one?

Seth dragged his body over to the bomb. The morphling had worn off long ago and each stone tile felt like a dagger under his limp body. Whether he was able to disarm the bomb or not, he felt he was near his end. He would die from pain or hunger. There was no time to earn a second piece of food from the sponsors. There was only one thing left to be done, and that was to save Ayla. She still had a family and her health and a hope to live a normal life. This was for her. He plunged the adrenaline shot into his arm.
Seth opened the panel once more and analyzed the mess of wires and circuits within. He focused hard, looking for a way to defuse the thing.

"NOOOOO!!!" Ayla screamed. It hadn't worked. Despite all of their trying.

There was absolutely no use. Seth's vision was clouding. His body was so weak from hunger he couldn't support his weight long enough to fiddle with the wires for more than a few seconds at a time. Seth collapsed to the ground.
"I'm so sorry, Ayla..."

"Seth... it's okay. You tried. Thank you for trying. What do we do now? One of us...." she couldn't continue.

"Seth we're both gonna die here, unless... would you save me? I have enough food now to make it until tomorrow. I could try to really win these games. If I did, I could go back to 5 and make sure the Erika is well taken care of."

"Well this is it Ayla. There's no way I'm going home. I'm so sorry it had to end this way. Please watch over Erika for me..."
The time was running out on the bomb. Seth had to quickly dive on top of it to shield Ayla from the blast.

"I love you!" Ayla screamed. This was horrible, she simply couldn't watch. He had made the ultimate sacrifice for her. She ran off towards the exit, tears streaming down her face.

There was a muffled blast and flame and shrapnel cut through Seth's body. Seth was gone in an instant. His pain was finally gone and he was released from his broken shell. It ended just as he had always hoped. He died on his own terms, protecting someone he loved.
The End!
