All of you, think real hard about why these experiments do what they do.
Get back to me with your ideas and then we'll talk.

Why should I talk to you? You won't even talk to me.
Since it is an experiment, something is being tested. Durability? Physical capacity? Mental capacity? How much one can take before they are finally pushed over some edge? There seems to be no obvious purpose to the experiments at all, as if some scientists found a capacity to do anything they pleased and wished to use it on someone.
The experiments themselves are too varied for one to make a singular guess on their true purpose. The illness. The personality changes. The physical changes. Being tested and subjected to this in this environment... there is a lot more to it all than there seems, and yet it feels difficult to lay a finger on the actual situation.
While the experiments may seem random to some, they're also incredibly deliberate.

Hm ...
Perhaps they are run in order to gauge the physical and emotional reactions people of all ages and personalities have to the various changes? It seems so, at least. This line of thought is somewhat different from what I'm used to, I admit.

Can I ask why you can't just tell us outright?
I would chance the guess that rather seeing how each of us affect the community, the experiments are more interested to see how the community affects us, as individuals. Would that be a poor start?
Perhaps it would be best to start from the beginning in noting that we are from different worlds. Whoever the natives here were apparently didn't do well enough so they thought to capture people from other places and giving them annoying wings would be better.
A number of people are trying to answer the question of "what are the experiments for", but the question is why the experiments do what they do. That's not necessarily the same question with the same answers. Did you mean them to be one in the same?
In any event, I believe our focus should be on escape rather than these ridiculous experiments.

I wonder if half your reasons are for amusement's sake alone.
Oh? First you tell us researchers to watch our backs and that we're better off not knowing too much, yet now you ask us to share our theories?
What spurred this on, all of a sudden?

Actually, I have a question for you. I don't know if it's related to the experiments but considering how complicated this place is, it might be. I won't know until I ask, right?
Well, they don't seem to be designed to incapacitate us. It feels like you just want to see how we'd react in certain situations. Though I still don't see how you get anything out of this, without an organized system.
It's really not quite as complicated as many make it out to be. It's not a matter of "What are the experiments for?" That's rather quite simple. Scientists often run experiments because they wish to test something.
The matter at hand is "Why do the experiments do what they do?" The Malnosso desire not to test how experiments affect their group of test subjects, but how the experiments affect individuals. Every person here is different from every other person here. Those from the same world can experience vastly different effects, while those from different worlds can experience very similar effects, even if those people are very different from one another.
Am I in the ball park?

We're a television show on the verge of cancellation, and the experiments are a way to keep the audience interested!
... to remind us that you are in control... of everything and anything we do.
On my homeworld, there is the concept of the Amtal Rule. In order to know a thing well, know its limits. In order to know it absolutely, to know its true nature, you must test it until it is destroyed. This applies to objects, people, ideologies and whole cultures.
What they do is be really annoying sometimes but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that's not what you were going for.
The worlds from which we originate are rife with conflict, war, or misfortune. This place, in comparison, is like a utopia. If not for the experiments.
Unless you are experimenting in order to discover a world absent of such suffering.

I've read some dime novels. [Assuming he could've followed other threads.]
If you guys did the experiment you did last week all over again--doing everything the exact same way on your side--would we see any differences? Have you ever done that before?

xperiments are meant to test something. That, people have already mentioned. Everyone, including myself, have often asked the question "Why?" and yet receive no answer. You have even said that we are better off not knowing.
And now you want us to give you our theories when we cannot find a connection between the "Why?" and the "What are they for?".
So, which is it? Are we really meant to not know what you do those who reside here or will you reveal the reasons behind it all?

Obviously you have something more in mind than merely testing our reactions to different situations-- such tests could easily be conducted without bringing us all to this world.
Playing your little mind games with us again?
