You stand before a man who has a gun pressed to your head. You can feel the cold steel of the barrel digging into your skull. Terrified, you feel your heart pounding in your chest as you hear him repeat the question.

The same question he has asked two times already. Glancing around the tiny concrete room without daring to move your head, you notice three objects.

The first object is a crowbar, lying on the floor a few inches from your right foot. It used to be red at one point, but now rust has overtaken it. The second is the very gun the man has trained on your face. You could grab it, were you quick enough. The third object is some sort of lever set into the wall closest to you on your left. A plain metal lever with no significant features. You look at the man to decide how to proceed as he tightens his grip on the gun and repeats the question.
