ok listen up, this is actually legitimately important
if this is your first time getting locked up like this, you need to understand one main thing going forward: our lives are less than worthless to these people. every second we're still breathing is a second more than they needed to give us.
i can't promise that we're going to be okay. i don't know if ALASTAIR gives enough of a shit to come for us. but even though i'm not gonna be the guy who has a lot of pretty words to say to keep hope alive or whatever, i do know a few things about staying safe in here. surviving, if this is for the long haul
1) don't make a fuss or be a nuisance to the guards. don't draw attention. the more forgettable you are, the better off you'll be
2) try to avoid using your jewel comms as much as you can. if they realize we're communicating through these, they'll be confiscated
3) DON'T TRY TO BE A HERO. this is the most important point here so i'm gonna repeat it, DO NOT TRY TO BE A FUCKING HERO.
we're not in a fucking action movie, trying to escape or break everyone out will get you in deep ass shit, maybe even made an example out of. don't fucking do it.

getting all worked up about that kind of thing would be bad for your hue, anyway
a whole group's just a recipe for an area stress alert
why ruin your own brain worrying about the ones that're too far gone already?

it's like a stress meter basically
we have street scanners all over the country and if you set one of em off then a droid will come get you for mandatory therapy
but if people resist or its bad enough to change the area stress level then the alert goes to the public safety bureau and we deal with it
[yes. people deemed too dangerous to live in society get employed to work at the public safety bureau. irony sure is a bitch, huh.]

Does it like, work? Like, is crime even down, are people happier?

i heard that back in the Olden Days people used to like, lock their doors and stuff so they wouldn't get robbed or murdered in their sleep or something
nobody does that anymore, cause anyone walking around free's generally healthy and safe
[generally. there's always the fringe cases--inspectors and enforcers wouldn't be necessary without them--but for the most part, for all that he hates it, it's not a system that doesn't work.]
plus, we've been able to keep out of all the wars and shit around us
so it works enough to sustain itself, i guess
idk about happier tho
[case in point: ginoza nobuchika.]
my standards are kinda skewed for obvious reasons
