[There's a faint rustling of papers. ARTHUR'S ALREADY TAKING NOTES ON YOU. Like a creeper c: When he speaks, he sounds thoughtful... oh, and kind of like Rex. Minus the crazy.]
So. According to the Admiral, the passage of time moves much more slowly here than in the real world. Seconds become months, become years. Perfect for getting a job like this done without anybody knowing you're gone. However it seems here, it's quite an efficient system if you think about it.
At least, in theory. I'm sure all of you know how often the best laid plans live up to expectations.
[There's a brief pause, as he lightly taps a pencil against his notepad, then he speaks again.]
Does anybody remember how they got here? Not the events that brought you here as an Inmate or a Warden; I mean actually arriving on the ship.

HUZZAH
And yeah, the announcements, they sound like every kindly older relative who's name you just can't quite remember. Stick around for a while and you'll get a first hand demonstration. It's creepy stuff.

Well. That brings up a disturbing mental image. Does everything occur with so much secrecy here?
no subject
Yeah, it's a pretty disturbing experience. Some things are more transparent than others around here. Example: You can come tour the engine room, you can see the mechanics of how this place keeps running, but any actual fuel source or power generator is completely obscured, as near as I can tell.
Similar thing with the food, there's not a limitless supply, we know it comes in monthly shipments, but we have no idea how it gets here. It just materializes in the store rooms.
