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.

Distractions from what?

[wise_maiden]

Putting the pieces together. From figuring out which experiments carry more weight than the others. They're deliberate, but is there a pattern? We've only seen a few repeats, but it doesn't seem to follow a rigid schedule.

[malnosso]

No, they definitely don't follow any type of schedule. A lot of it's spontaneous.

[wise_maiden]

Do they judge the atmosphere of the village itself before springing something on us? Surely some of them must be planned for a specific reason.

[malnosso]

Nope. You guys don't have jack shit to do with timing.

[wise_maiden]

Not even if it's deliberate? Then something else must be determining them...

[malnosso]

Ding.

[wise_maiden]

Something larger than the organization itself? You've so much as implied that they're scared of something. Perhaps... a loss of control.

You've been with them for a long time. Has anything like that happened before?

[Private]

[malnosso]

I've hardly been here a long time.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

Time is subjective, after all.

Roughly ten years, correct?

[Private]

[malnosso]

Not in this case.

Nine.

[wise_maiden]

Is there any way that any of us here currently would have been here at a previous time during a different tenure?

[Private]

[malnosso]

It's definitely possible.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

Those who have currently been here the longest. Did something -- happen directly before they were brought here?

[Private]

[malnosso]

No.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

The states that the previous people were in -- the shopkeepers. Miss Carol. Was it due to repeated experiments that they ended up in such a state?

[Private]

[malnosso]

No.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

So it wasn't...

Was that a result of the third party's involvement? To completely start over, and leave them as examples?

[Private]

[malnosso]

No. That was all us.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

Were the individuals chosen for specific reasons?

[Private]

[malnosso]

Yup.

...except Tyr.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

His name seems to carry the most weight among most of you. Save John, but he marches to a different drummer.

What was the difference? Was he... did he begin as a Malnosso?

[Private]

[malnosso]

...Tyr's the reason you people aren't dead. Worse than dead.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

"Us people"... the ones forced to live in the environment. Did he help the others?

[Private]

[malnosso]

Tyr helped everyone.
