Icarus was sitting in the food hall, chatting with Oprah when Hammond walked towards them.
Ah shit, Icarus thought,
Here comes mister Jackass."Hey, Archimedes," Hammond said obnoxiously. Icarus knew that Hammond was intentionally screwing his name up. "Get your shit in order and get to the Detox room. The power is fucked."
"Why do I have to do this? You know Sam is better then me." Icarus felt like talking to Oprah. He thought he had a bit of a chance.
"Sam is paranoid about the computer. No idea why. He won't go anywhere without someone with him. God, he even asked me to make sure a robot doesn't try to scalp him in the night." Hammond rubbed his temples using his index fingers and his middle finger.
Icarus sighed, said goodbye to Oprah and went to the Detox room.

Icarus almost jumped when the door closed on him. They don't close in the Detox room, that was too dangerous. He suddenly got a lot more worried then he should have been. It wasn't anything serious, it wouldn't harm him, He'd just call for help.
"Hey, can someone come in here? Hello!" He said loudly. Suddenly, the computer started up. Icarus jumped. He had to stop doing that.
"Hello Socrates!" The computer replied. Icarus could barely hold back the inevitable "It's fucking Icarus." but he did it.
"Sir or Madame, this shelter has a problem. We have a small amount of food. This is a test devised by those good ol' folks at SheperdNet. However, since the only living things in this shelter are the humans, we need to improvise. This involves sending you off to the other side!" Icarus froze. Oh Jesus, this was just like 2001.
"Wha...You...This...I paid...Holy shit, I don't wanna die!" Icarus ran around screaming in fear.
"Don't do that, this is a soundproofed room. Don't worry, you will make a good meal. Think up some good last words, and I will be happy computer! Sheperdnet, we protect in your time of need!" The computer turned off.
Icarus cried as he saw green fog come out of the detox pipes that were now opening...

Also, someone stumbled across the body while it was being dragged away. That was Oprah.
Also also, I think the worst way you can die is being gassed, after being called the wrong name.
