What happens if you die?

CorpSet

HAKEEM: Okay, so... this is all kind of messed up, but this changes everything. If we're not in any real danger, doesn't that mean we can relax a bit?
HAKEEM: You said dying just means that we wake up, right?

Pal3000: Correct. In 96% of cases you will simply wake up with no adverse effects whatsoever.

DESMODENA: .............what's the other 4%

Pal3000: Well...
Pal3000: If your death in the simulation is excessively traumatic, there is a SLIGHT chance of experiencing psychological side effects in the real world. Derealization, major memory loss, coma. These effects are usually temporary, and are only permanent in a very small number of cases.
Pal3000: But it's not very likely. I wouldn't worry about it.

DESMODENA: ...okay but you said this place feeds off of our imagination and shit
DESMODENA: doesnt that mean TELLING us about the worst-case scenario is gonna make a "traumatic" death more likely to happen?
DESMODENA: especially with all those nightmare monsters feeding off of our fears???

Pal3000: ...Hmm.
Pal3000: Actually, I was just kidding around you guys. It is 100% safe. Just a fun prank I was pulling. Ha ha ha.

DESMODENA: super convincing dude, my fears are HELLA assuaged now

Pal3000: That is great to hear.

DESMODENA: also if thats one of the movies you keep referencing, it looks weird and gross

Pal3000: Wow. Says the organic lifeform full of "organs" and "fluids".

DESMODENA: damn, i guess you got me there

Pal3000: It's a pretty good movie, Des.
Pal3000: The nature of this place and my advanced computational power allow me to watch and analyze thousands of movies and shows from a number of realities in a span of minutes, so I THINK I would know.
Pal3000: Maybe you should actually give it a chance before you judge, hmm?

DESMODENA: holy shit, youre always so defensive about this stuff
DESMODENA: it's kind of adorable
DESMODENA: i'm sorry i dunked on your favorite movie, okay???

HAKEEM: Guys. Can we please focus on our current situation?
