[The video flickers on to the sight of a beautiful male resplendent quetzal perched on a vine near one of the statues outside the dining hall. Mal's hand comes into view holding a piece of cut fruit and there's a soft chirruping and whistling off camera. The bird is having none of it, however, and after a moment flies away. There's a soft sighWell

You okay?

Private

[cauchemal]

I am. It's all quite disorienting, but at least some of it is beautiful.

And you?

I admire the fact that you can see anything beyond-- beyond frustration or fear or whatever else this shit is supposed to be causing.

I'm worried. Things like this usually don't end well.

Do yo think this display is meant to intimidate? I can see how that could be so, but-to what end?

Private

[lost_undercover]

Yeah, sure. Intimidation. The guys I knew, though.. They didn't need intimidation. They had guys because those guys did the dirty work they didn't want to. I'm thinking that might be what's going on here.

Do you have a safe place to be?

I'm going to stay with my warden for the duration. Staying together seems advisable.
