I don't know why you're all up and arms. Other than they have the whole... rabbit tendency to multiply, they're pretty harmless, aren't they? I mean, it's a welcome change considering what happened with this place. Cold, white rooms and nothing to do? It's enough to drive anyone mad. At least the fuzzballs are helping

I'm still waiting for them to suddenly turn rabid, or turn out to be carrying some killer disease.

[theotokos]

Oh, god, I haven't thought of this.

[slug_sannin]

I've been here for a long time.

[theotokos]

Has this happened?

[slug_sannin]

The flesh eating bacteria started with just a few carriers, but spread at an alarming rate. The monsters guarding the cafeteria were pretty obvious from the start. The drugged cookies were a problem.

[theotokos]

When did this happen?

[slug_sannin]

Over the last ten months. Those were just a couple of examples. The Consortium does like to be creative with their tortures.

[theotokos]

... How often does this happen? Is there a pattern?

[slug_sannin]

We haven't found one yet. Things have been too peaceful, though. Too easy. I feel like we're being worked into a lull for something big.

[theotokos]

It seems if this place doesn't provide something to happen, others are more than willing to step up to do so.

[slug_sannin]

True enough. It's worse here, trapped like rats in a cage.

[theotokos]

Will it ever shift back?

[slug_sannin]

Eventually. No way of knowing where we'll end up, but they do send us out semi-regularly. The bandits at Hope's End were much worse than Death City's zombies.

[theotokos]

Zombies aren't that bad, could have been worse. It could have been demons.

[slug_sannin]

The zombies were simple enough, even if they reeked. We're still not sure what the bandits were, but the only confirmed demons have been subjects. But give it time, I'm sure we'll see those soon enough.

[theotokos]

At least it won't be dull around here.
