This is to the people running this place. I know you watch us, I know you have eyes on us somewhere. This collar, the stuff it does, you're only getting away with it because nobody outside of here knows but they will. You can't keep it a secret, people will find out and I'll make sure of it.

And about the nap? You can't keep me... chloroformed or whatever forever.

The poison's injection mechanism's also of interest. [For someone who was so uptight about agreeing, he's rather relaxed about some criminal groping about his neck, tilting his head to try to give her the best view or access depending where she's examining.]

[He was in prison, too. Rocks and glass houses.]

Nothing. [Once she's felt around the collar, she moves back to her own space.} Whatever they're using, it's good.

[She crosses her arms.] Unless it's a decoy and they're really getting it into us some other way.

[That was different.]

So you didn't find out anything.

[wayoutsidethebox]

Not yet. [She settles into her stance, exhaling as she tried to think.] What else do you know about surveillance in this place?

[Action]

[eraser_rain]

Not much; it's not relevant. [If she's finished with him, he seems ready to leave the room; he is, after all, on the clock at work. His tone is dismissive, but he can't quite manage to make it flippant or to sound sincerely content with his own stated choice.] I'm not against playing by the rules for freedom, eventually.

[So, he's probably not going to be the biggest help.]

Rules? Do you know how many they're breaking here?

Regardless, it's government sanctioned. How do you expect to function as an escaped convict, if you don't get out by following the rules?

[He doesn't need to know the full answer to this.]

It's not about getting out of prison, it's about getting out of this prison. They're ignoring some very important human rights here.

[He stops short of walking out at that, looking straight ahead at the general library, considering a retort to that but ultimately deciding it's better to keep his head low in a place like this.]

Good luck to both of us.

[And it's back to work for him.]

[It didn't take a genius to see the dismissal in that but it was a polite one. Even if more people would make it easier, she didn't need everybody in the prison to believe her.]

Yeah. And thanks for letting me check it out.
