 [Well, now that everyone has let out some steam, Dr. Quorra has decided that the group needs to work on their inner peace.  The trapped residents will come into the therapy room and find a circle of plush, cozy pillows waiting for them; on each pillow, there rests a mala--a set of 108 prayer beads, meant to aid in the recitation of mantras.  The beads are carved from mother of pearl; the material and color is meant to purify the mind of bad karma and wash away internal conflicts. Dr. Q sits primly in the circle's center, her body arranged in the lotus position, a mala already wrapped around her wrist.  She smiles pleasantly at anyone who makes eye contact with her.]

Hello, everyone.  I was hoping you might join me for some meditation.  Please sit as I am sitting on your pillow and take up your prayer beads.

[From some unseen corner of the room, this music plays softly.]
