[Viktoria found the letter in the mailbox and read it several times, very slowly, in order to absorb each and every word. This woman, Jane Smith, one of the mindless ones... she was a prisoner like Viktoria and everyone else here. And she had been changed, forced to comply, against her will. Now she was a servant of Mayfield.

a servant.

The word keep surfacing in her mind despite her efforts to push it away, but it was all so familiar. They didn't have metal faces but they were slaves all the same; slaves to this prison. Servants.

She is angry. Angry at this manfool that held this letter for so long. Angry that no one else seems to care. Angry at herself for taking so long to act.

Now seemed as good a time as ever to put that anger to work.]

Why was this information withheld for so long? For what purpose? Would sharing this poor woman's letter immediately not have benefited all who wish to escape this cage? What else is being hidden away, this very moment?

[She started rather calm, but her voice is slowly rising in volume.]

Are you all content to stumble around aimlessly, to roll over and do as you are told, to forget so easily? It has been weeks since the road to Westport vanished. What have we accomplished with what was found there? Nothing! How are we to do anything, as scattered as we are?

[As she utters the word "scattered" it almost sounds like there are several voices echoing under hers. She seems to have caught that, too, and sighs.]

We are only making it easier for this place to control us.

Judging from the fire the other day, I'd say the town already has a good idea as to what we're up to.

I would have had to do this if there weren't those among us who wish to keep important information to themselves.

I still don't have all the details about that but it only got two people. Doubt if it means they are ready for what's coming, just means they are watching.

All the more reason to keep calls like that away from the drones.

Three people. Those two fools and that poor woman.

We should always work under the assumption that we are being watched. This is our enemy's territory. They have the power here, and any small security we find belongs to this place as well.

[She is not going to admit she just doesn't know how to filter calls, nope.]

Well, until proven otherwise I am going to rely on what I have. I honestly think that we aren't up against a god here. Whatever is behind this is flawed, makes mistakes and I'll take any of those I can find.

Now, if you want to actually learn something and not just give yourself away, I suggest you speak with Mr. Crane and Ms. Armstrong.

A god? Of course not. But our captors themselves may forget that soon enough with the power they wield, if they haven't already.

There are always so many people who know so much and yet so little is accomplished. Nonetheless, I will see what they have to say.

[Maybe they know how to filter phone calls, for starters.]

The only thing I am sure of is that my personal knowledge wont do the trick. Someone's will. We just have to find out who.

[He hoped she did just that.]
