Flee or Kill is the ultimate reality television game with a stacked deck of life or death prizes. Watching all of this happen and choosing to participate is a near-sentient computer system seeing a chance to escape the boundaries imposed by programmers. The other watchers are the last surviving cell of Anonymous who may or may not be needed.
