  ENTIRETY, AS THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS MAY HAVE CHANGED.     
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤    
  By typing 'Y', you ("Subject") agree to the following     
  terms set by the Osworth Institute ("Institute") in     
  regards to the following testing procedure ("Software").    
  Please read each of these terms carefully.

   including, but not limited to: test questions, text,     
   EG patterns, thoughtforms, technologies, ideas, and     
   psychometric acquisition and/or pacification techniques    
   contained by the Software (or resulting from the         
   Subject's use of the Software)) are the sole         
   intellectual property of the Institute, its affiliates,

> And trust me: These are not people who's attention you want to have.
> I realize this is a lot to swallow at once, but there's a global criminal organization that hunts down people like us.
> No one knows they exist. They operate from the shadows — capturing things like you and me.
> They have facilities all over the world where they lock us away to study us.
> They keep us in cells — sedated, imprisoned against our will — running endless tests until we finally wither away and die.
> They are powerful, they are everywhere, and if you're not very careful, they'll come for you.
