[That's a start.]

Can you describe the cell you're in for me?

[headjacked]

Plain, dull. Bathroom, toilet, sink. More, um. Neat and tidy and uniform than the... th-the...

[ He knows. ]

Guessing, g-gonna... guess it's the same for everyone. That and the stupid-small clothes.

[jumpthegun]

It's the same for me there, yeah. On the bright side, they're clean, right? Even if the clothes are a little small. Have you ever seen a forcefield like the ones they're using?

[Mostly these questions are just to keep Rhys grounded.]

[headjacked]

Oh...mmmmhm, plenty. Cheaper, easier, and m... m-more efficient than building physical walls, plus more versat... variable? Can turn 'em, you know... off, on again, I -- wow. Uhm.

[ There are times he's extremely aware of how scattered and juvenile he sounds. This is one of the many. ]

Am I making sense??

[jumpthegun]

I'm following, yeah. You're fine. [He's mostly following. It's fine.] What would they even be using to power these? I thought we were running on reserves. Maybe the area down here is part of the core military base where they might have been running programs with Andromeda? Or where they bring us in?

[headjacked]

Emergency, catastrophe, etc, you -- you divert power to what's needed and let - l-let the rest run on scraps.

[ Rhys catches his breath and rubs his temple, shifting back into a useful-ish mode. ]

[jumpthegun]

If these really are medical facilities that might make sense, I s'pose. They don't look like medical facilities. Not unless it's a psychiatric ward for the criminally insane or something. Maybe it's been converted?

[headjacked]

D-doesn't have to be a medical facility to be prioritized. Just depends on your -- well. Their priorities. This case, iunno, conv... c-converted? Some kind of weird hybrid? Could be.

[jumpthegun]

Fair enough. So, wherever we're at, it's been deemed priority enough to keep the heating on. [Unless their perceptions are just being altered, which is very possible.] Or Mr. Miller's called it up for priority.
