Weddin's? Parties? Either this is one lax prison or this ain't the kind place I thought it was.

[Although whatever it is, it's got Reese very confused. Reading that note with his journal doesn't clear anything up, not to mention he doesn't believe a word of it. There's no power on Earth that can wipe out everything in one fell swoop like that.]

Now I'm more inclined the people that's been here then some piece of paper so, anyone kind enough to tell me what's goin' on here? Just what the hell is this place?

So nobody knows then? Now that's just grand.

Tell me about it.

Everyone's gotten complacent. Gotten too preoccupied with partying and making things 'normal'.

I think they've all stopped trying to get out.

And that makes things even better. They're turnin' everyone into sheep.

Guessin' yer one of the ones that haven't?

I don't really have anything to celebrate. Not here.

Somethin' we got in common then. Wouldn't call bein' kidnapped a reason to celebrate.

I can't think of many people who would.

... Oh, wait. They're the ones planning weddings.

So they've all just given up then? No more carin' 'bout gettin' home?

These folks been brainwashed?

I don't think it's that. More like... they're afraid.

These people aren't soldiers. Or even all that skilled in combat.

Afraid of what? The people in charge here or somethin' else?

Yeah. The people in charge.

What the hell are they doin' here then?

The people in charge? Or the rest of us?

Shit, both.

Well, you've seen what the prisoners are doing.

As for the keepers... not much. Other than keeping things from us.

So how's that got the people scared then? I figure something like that should make them angry.

There's the public displays of discipline. Ancient-style torture. Beatings... things like that.

And the fact they don't tell us anything about this place.

This place definitely knows how to make a fella fell at home.

[It's hard to believe anyone means well when they resort to torture to get their way.]

Can't say I much appreciate anythin' they're doin'. Sounds like everyone here forgot what freedom is.

Really.

Yeah. No one really does. Every time something goes wrong, it's our fault. Because we 'don't listen'.

And so people don't do anythin' to keep things from goin' wrong.

[That makes sense. Not everyone is willing to fight the powers that be.]

Shame I got a habit of throwin' a wrench into things.
