Rootkit Test
The Rootkit Test forms the major part of [Puzzle One] of the Karma Sutra, which could only be given to a prospective [Survivor]] by a rootkitten. It is in the form of sixteen statements which the prospective Survivor must mark as 'true' or 'false' within one minute of the statement appearing on their screen. It is the core of the Antisense rootkit.
If the Survivor got more than ten right, the text of Puzzle One along with the right answers would appear, and the Antisense decoder would be installed on their device, allowing them to collect and read the remaining five chapters of the Karma Sutra. Rootkittens would prepare Survivors for the test by telling them about the philosophy of Antisense, karma and the survivarium.
