mindcrackloveSo I received my good friend in the Prompt Swap this time, Salt. This is my (not even on time anymore) second chapter of one of the prompts listed.
"4. Charlie and the Chocolate factory, Mindcrack version."
So, here we go!

More hallways they walked down, more rooms were shown. They were shown a functional sand generator, multiple unfinished farm concepts, and even a hallway that was titled "Sethbling's Horrible Building Designs." Pakratt had wanted that to be a part of the tour, but Sethbling had politely refused.
Once again, Sethbling paused in the middle of a hallway. They saw the button again, but Sethbling began speaking instead of pressing it.
"I need a promise from each and every one of you that what you see in this room you will never speak about, whether or not you are victorious in your attempt to win.
Pakratt spoke up first. "Sure."
"Alrighty." Doc followed, in his iconic voice.
"Yeah." Etho said quietly.
Vechs, speaking up for the first time, also agreed.
Sethbling nodded, and pressed the button. The wall fell down into the floor, revealing a tiny, but long, hallway. The group headed down it, everyone but Setbling discussing what it could possibly be. Right as Etho suggested it was Madcow and Kurororororororo, they heard beeping and whirring. Doc immediately recognized the sound from his Snapshot Test world he shared with some fellow Germans.
They walked into the large room, staring at the stacks of wiring, hooked up to dozens and dozens of Command Blocks. As they stared, shocked, they were commanded to not touch anything they saw in that room. They all agreed, somewhat dazed, and followed Sethbling as he went up and down the rows, explaining the different functions of the various towers, as he called them.
The group reached a large apparatus with easily two hundred command blocks attached all up to a single button. Sethbling reiterated once again to not touch anything, especially the button. He began explaining the machine, how based on secret formulas, would decide how 'worthy' a person was, and if the machine deemed him not worthy, would send him back to his spawn point.
Doc immediately looked at it in depth, asking Seth a lot of questions, very unconvinced that such a machine could exist. It slowly escalated to Doc drowning out Seth's claims, repeating over and over that no machine could possibly exist. He walked over to the button, and Seth begged him not to press it.
The back of Doc's hand smashed into the button, and Doc froze, down to his grin. This was typical for Command Block-based teleportation, a fake of the body, un-interactable, would linger there for a minute or so. Seth sighed, and then explained the real function of the machine.
"Doc was correct, the machine as I described it cannot possibly exist. However, I need to know that the person who inherits this place trusts me. Evidently, Doc didn't. It's just a basic teleporter back to wherever your spawn point is."
"So, all those command blocks are just for show?" Asked Vechs, looking up at the massive structure.
Seth turned back towards the door. "Yup."
