Prepare for the decision of a lifetime! It's for life....no matter how short.
You're briskly walking along a deserted inner city street at night to get home from an evening out with friends. Still a little tipsy, needing a toilet break, but determined and balanced enough to have no trouble with the journey. Your cat needs feeding, as due to being a hurry to leave earlier, it slipped your mind to leave out food.
You hear a strained groan from a shadow a couple of metres ahead, only marginally missed by the street-lamp's illumination. Not feeling too worried due to the time and tipsy mind, you continue ahead to find an old, grizzled man crumpled on the floor, the unnatural positioning of appearing motionless and face-down points to the possibility this is no drunk homeless guy. Also the pool of blood spreading from beneath him seals the deal that this is quite probably serious.
You rush up to help him and upon turning him over, find no visible wound anywhere, yet by checking his pulse, you find he is dead. You look back to the pool of blood to find it is gone. But in it's place is a palm-sized disc, half an inch thick with multiple moving parts carved from what looks like a mixture between oak and marble. There are intricate patterns and symbols meticulously etched all over. You step back and return to gaze at his body, only to find it has moved position in a way that leaves his left hand appearing to point down an unlit alleyway that emits various sounds of an unsettling nature. You recheck his pulse incase you were mistaken, but no, still no signs of life. Picking up the object, you notice its' surprising wieght and smooth surface.
An echo of a whisper floats from far within the alley's pitch black void; "Here... Come here, quick... Bring the artifact out of the light"
What do you do?

I tried covering all bases, but this is no Dragon Age Origins, good sir! A pitiful eight options to deal with a limitless combination of decisions? This is oppression, i tell you! And maybe even censorship!
