What are the talks of floods and ports and...such?  A port is something to be desired? But a flood? Who wants a flood? And why?

[Private to Abigail]


Those books in the library...what subjects do they cover? 

[Private to Arthur]

I need cigarettes. These pills aren't doing it anymore.

[Filtered to Inmates- added later]

What kind of place is this? People being attacked? Where are you during this, Wardens? This place is sounding more and more dangerous.

What other lies have they told us?

Perhaps they may seen you when they use a te-le-vision.

There is one such creation in the common room on my floor. It displays images, like paintings that move. It is as though people are shrunken and trapped within its confines.

I like it not.

A television. TV. You like it even less when it's huge and shows only the nature channel.

I've been on tv before. Well, Castor was... The evening news, all the time.

Where are you from again?

It's a channel on the television that shows happy bunnies and tweeting birds.

Generally obnoxious.

Salem, in Massachusetts colony.

Why do they not stand outside? Can you not see birds in the trees? Why need they watch television?

Because the general population can't get up and go to a window.

Or the animals and plants are from places they cannot go.

Laziness? Skyscrapers in the way?

Huge buildings made of steel and glass. Normally business buildings. Can be apartments, too, I suppose.

She's going to totally have nightmares about skyscrapers now.

And she's not speaking to Pollux anymore for a while.
