The Human drops from the sky and lands in front of Diamond Casino, strings attached to hands and feet. 

The Human doesn’t know where they are, this world is new to them. Slowly looks around. Tries to sit up. 

A machine gun falls from the sky into their hands.  

Human is shocked and tries to throw the weapon away, but it is stuck to their hand. Before The Human realizes what is going on, they are lifted by the strings and forced to run. 

Meanwhile in the background The Algorithm comes on stage, looks at the situation with a satisfied and a little evil face and slowly nods ‘YEAAAAA’ thinking ‘this is my paradise’ and starts dancing and drumming on a higher platform with a metal floor and two cymbals on it. The Casino score starts playing. The Human still doesn’t see The Algorithm, who controls and observes the situation from a Godlike perspective. 

The gun starts to fire, bodies fall to the ground spectacularly (action movie deaths)

Guy comes running while cursing at Human but gets pierced by bullets
Sound and lights of police car, police officers shoot and die
Cars crash, buildings light up in flames.  

Human tries to get rid of the gun again, but can’t. 

Suddenly everything stops. 

Human watches the buffering circle go round and round.

Even the band and the dancing Algorhythm stop/freeze in their position for a little moment, so the Human gets a little hope of having power.

Buffering is over, normal sounds of violence return, shots fired, people dying. Buffering assistant disappears.

The music also starts again and Algorithm starts dancing again. 

Human is out of ammo – gun goes click, click, click.
Fighter manages to get to Human for a 1 on 1 Matrix style combat. Fighter has a knife, misses the human but cuts their strings. The human is freed, but the gun is still in their hands.

At this point the Human sees The Algorithm, who just drummed a continuous rhythm, then lets go of the drumsticks and waves at the Human in a teasing, evil but also sensual way while we still hear that rhythm (it is magic!). We see through Algorithms artificiality but also magic power at the same time. Algorithm has the evil (Twin Peaks-like, uncanny) laughing moment.

The Human looks at the fighter, then at the gun, positions the gun as if they’re going to shoot the fighter, then hits him in the head with the gun. The fighter passes out. 

Other fighters appear, Human looks around, terrified, sees the casino and the bouncer/firewall, runs to him to find rest and safety. Bouncer looks at them, makes violent gestures (gorilla-like? taekwondo?) towards the fighters, who back off.

The bouncer takes the gun from the human’s hands.

The bouncer kisses the human on their forehead.

The band starts playing different music, more thriller-like. 

The Algorithm leaves the godlike perspective and leads the Cookies onstage to surround the human and the bouncer. 

They don’t speak, just look at them. Human feels uneasy.

The Algorithm screams in a backwards kind of language to make the Cookies start the Haka choreography with stamping, body clapping, absurdist breaks and sounds and human imitation moves (reminding of swiping, moving an electronic mouse), like they are voodooing The Human´s addictive internet behaviour, revealing their back-end system. The haka is performed very seriously and is not only evil and threatening but also a little hilarious, absurdist and from another world. 

After the haka, one after one the cookies jump at the bouncer in an attempt to get into the casino. But the bouncer is big and strong and fast and keeps all the cookies out (like a pinball machine). 

Then the cookies start to cry.

Algorithm snaps her fingers and Chief-Cookie is walking towards her. She whispers something in his ear and then slaps his but in the direction back to the Bouncer in a motivational but also condescending way.

The bouncer is confused. S/he has to make a decision. 

The cookies form a line.

Cookie 3 steps aside, not amused. 

The band starts playing and The Algorithm goes back to tap dancing and drumming from the godlike perspective. Algorithm and band are back in the violence-accompanying music mode.

The cookies turn on each other, they yell and shout and call each other names. Their quarrels soon escalate into violence and chaos. Human looks scared and abhorred.

Cookie 5 (the diva) picks up the human’s gun that the bouncer had put aside. (s)he starts to shoot other cookies.  

Bouncer goes into the casino and returns with a flamethrower.

Before the bouncer can start firing, the scene freezes. 
The buffering assistant comes on again.

The Human panics, loses it completely. Out of panic and madness The Human takes the Flame thrower and wants to end it all.

Disconnect everything.
