[...So confused. But what she was able to pick up before half of this went over her head:]

They read the journals?

[chikaidestroyer]

They do. It is logged and kept track of using their systems.

[I suppose that I should mention this is voiced]

[xelhes]

Oh. Why would they be interested in that?

..."We have not yet had an experiment this month...." Is that normal?

[voice then!]

[chikaidestroyer]

It isn't normal, no. But we've seen a gradual change in the amount of experiments done within the last half year or so; last year, we were subjected to many more experiments.

[xelhes]

...Maybe they're getting bored with it.

[chikaidestroyer]

I believe there have been other things going on that have changed their priorities. As you may have heard, there was a battle only a few months ago, and the Third Party had been putting pressure on the barrier for an unknown amount of time before that. The Organization may have been focusing on the perceived threat and slowed down on the experiments they usually ran.

There's someone trying to get us out? [She didn't remember that part from Albert's post. There's a rustle of paper as she goes back to see what he had said about the third party.] Why didn't anyone--?
