The longer we stay in a controlled setting the easier it will be to control us through our environment. The police, or whoever, don't need to be competent for that. They just need to dilute the influence of anyone else who might be manipulating us, or creating a bias in our environment to take advantage of our illnesses."He runs his fingers through his hair thoughtfully."On the hand, you realize you're taking a big step into crazy, don't you? Paranoia? Thats a path you can walk down and start rationalizing just about anything. Why would anyone conspire against us, anyways? Unless they're prepared to kill us as part of the conspiracy they'd already be in bad shape by letting us all communicate and collaborate together, and the fact that they'd hadn't would suggest that they want or need something from us."He looks at everyone assembled."In which case they'd best step a large step livelier on the comfort scale for some of you guys at least...Before you start attacking the guards and orderlies, I guess."He rubs his nose at the bridge, then loudly sips his coffee with a certain amount of delicacy."If it were a conspiracy, I mean. Maybe I was a politician, or a radio announcer before this all happened. I certainly can talk an ear off, can't I?"He shrugs in embarrassment and puts his cup down."Anyway, it was nice to meet you all. I'm going to go explore the house like I mentioned earlier."With that, Alan leaves the kitchen and starts up the stairs.</blockquote>
