What makes you think those of us here are complacent?

I expected open revolt over what this place is.

[Prison ship clearly. lol lol lol.] I'd expect people would want to FIGHT.

The Inmate population at large is generally too disorganized and too busy in-fighting and complaining to turn against those that really deserve it.

That doesn't mean some of us don't plan to do something about our situation, when the time comes.

...They call you inmates.

[She shakes her head. What a way to motivate]

Fair enough.

Yes, because it's a descriptor that fits; we are imprisoned here. [He sounds so very, very bitter.] And the other half of the population here trying to redeem us are called 'Wardens'.

You must be new.

Inmates are placed--many times incorrectly [Read: Obviously this means him]--by the Admiral. They are forced to be here. Any weapons you had, provided that you are an Inmate, will have been taken away, and certain areas are restricted from your access. [Which drives him crazy, of course.]

Wardens don't enjoy all these nice little perks that Inmates are forced to endure; Wardens are free to leave, but choose to stay here to fulfill some deal they made with the Admiral. They think it is their job to change us, to tell us our actions require atonement.

It's laughable.

Atonement? Is that what they're calling it nowadays? I always thought it was a sort of enslavement.

'It'? What do you mean? Clarify.

enslavement.

This ship is a game. A joke. A lie being run by aliens trying to control us.

[Why are none of you catching ON to this.]

You'll get no argument from me that this entire place is ridiculous, that this whole system is broken. But no one controls me, and no one is ever going to.

...Aliens? [What in the Grid are those :<.]

Re: Private yeerkwarveteran September 16 2011, 05:18:30 UTC
...Yeerks.

That's why you're here. [It has to be.] They're going to put one in your head and control you.

[What is she going on about.]

Define: 'Yeerk.' What exactly is it?

I think you are very confused, User. [That, or he's been left out of knowing some very important information. But this doesn't sound right at all.]

[You don't know? How can you not know?]

Yeerk. An alien inserted into a brain and used to control the host. You become a puppet for them. They take you over.

[That trips him up for a few seconds. This is the oddest thing he's heard in awhile, but he's no stranger to controlling others against their will.]

That's even [short pause] possible? They can control another User without the use of an identity disc or an edit to their base code? [Not that CLU had ever manipulated a User's code ever himself, when one had been on the Grid. His only exposure had been a brief glimpse of the massive complexity that had been held within Flynn's disc.]

[At some point CLU-Flynn wants to have a word with you about that.]

Yes. Sure.

They're parasites. They sap energy and remove free will.
