Query
SELECT * FROM GHOSTS
Title text: SELECT * FROM GHOSTS

Explanation

Megan picks up a strange device that mysteriously asks her to enter a query after stating "LOADED TABLE: PEOPLE ENTER QUERY." She looks around and sees people surrounding her. Upon entering a MySQL-esque query into it (SELECT * FROM PEOPLE WHERE AGE > 30), the specified people are basked in a yellow light. She then tries other experimental queries, and sees it work every time. Finally, she types "DROP TABLE PEOPLE" (delete the Table named People), and everybody, including herself, disappears. It can be noted that the title text may be a joke stating that when the people died, they were moved to a table called "GHOSTS." The query would then, presumably, see all the people that were deleted.
