Another trial come and gone, and another attempt of theirs at placating their raw materials. Perhaps I have been here for too long, already.

With that, one must wonder-- what would it take, on their part, for you to be at ease with the actions of the scientists here? For you to accept your status as their experiments...what are you worth?

[ill_tidings]

I will never be at ease with them. I don't make friends with kidnappers.

[evaluative]

Of course, I suppose if they were to grant you the freedom to return to your home, that would help matters?

[ill_tidings]

Then they would no longer be my kidnappers, would they?

[evaluative]

The fact of what they had done would yet remain.

[fierybluebird]

It takes keeping my brothers safe and happy.

Beyond that, I don't care what's thrown at me so long as the first condition is met.

[evaluative]

And if they are not present?

[fierybluebird]

So long as they're safe and happy, I am. Here, there, a world away, it's fine.

And one of them is here at least. And he wouldn't be safe and happy at home. So in some ways, this is still something.

[evaluative]

That is more generosity towards them than I would have expected from any of those here.

[ He sounds somewhat amused by it. ]

[postasskicking]

Are you still asking these.

[evaluative]

It is of interest to me.

[postasskicking]

Somehow this doesn't look that useful. Can you even get any objective answers in a place like this.

[evaluative]

You would be surprised.

[ But he doesn't share his research. ]

[evaluative]

Was that enough, for you?

[evaluative]

It is not something I "worry" about; rather, it is simple curiosity.

[deadlystub]

I am not at ease.

And one day, they'll pay.

[evaluative]

Some form of "revenge" is all that could placate you, then?

[deadlystub]

Sitting idle like a weakling is no better.

[evaluative]

There is more one can do than either of those two.
