Well, this is certainly very friendly of them. A little get-together at the Smiths, is it?

[DRONE FILTER]

I think it goes without saying that anyone attending this party should be careful, but that doesn't mean not attending at all. This is a valuable opportunity to get some information on these people- or better.

...If they can even be called "

I'm only recently arrived, so may I ask you what you are referring to?

[stephen_owling]

A family here, the "Smiths", are holding a party of some sort. They're drones, or at least they seem like it. I'm not sure what to make of it, but we cannot allow an opportunity like this to slip by.

[sonic_enforcer]

An opportunity?

[stephen_owling]

For information. Escape. Anything. It could be dangerous, but if it holds the promise of furthering our escape from this place in any way, it's better than staying holed up in our houses.

[hop_toit_udonge]

For that matter, not attending may result in consequences. That is within their method of operation, after all.

[stephen_owling]

Feels sort of like we're walking straight into a trap, doesn't it? But if they wanted to kill us, I'm sure they could do so without something like this.

[hop_toit_udonge]

Killing is hardly the worst they can do.

[stephen_owling]

Indeed. I hate the idea of playing straight into their plans, but I don't see any other option.

These 'Smiths' haven't built up much of a good reputation, hmm?

[stephen_owling]

They are not well-liked, no.

[septette]

Oh? I admit, I am a little curious. May I ask why that is?

[stephen_owling]

You must be even newer than myself. The Smiths are a drone family, yet they seem to be unique somehow... I don't know what to make of it, but they're a part of the system holding us captive, and that makes them the enemy.
