Alice is a program. It doesn't matter if she seems sympathetic about what we go through. That's how she was designed to react. [Which is why, honestly, he doesn't whine and moan about the AI. As far as they all know, she's not a person.] Hell. I asked her about Harlan after our alien buddies reared their faces, and you know what she told me? That Harlan wants what's best for us. That they know murder isn't associated with anyone's best interests, but the circumstances behind this whole shit show require us to kill each other off.
[Which is hilarious, really, in a world where hilarious and disgusting are synonymous.]
Unless this whole shindig is an experiment to see how fast you can annihilate a group of people within an enclosed space? You're right. It's strange. There's definitely something up with our bodies as well. [He talked with Adrien about this, but:] Besides the fact that the AI can kill or paralyze us without lifting a finger, there's something else I noticed. I don't know if any of you have messed around with the thermal imager downstairs, but according to it — we should all be dead right now. Our temperature is way below what's healthy for a human being.
[There's also the CAT scanner downstairs. He hasn't messed around with that one, so who knows if it'll reveal something else that's off with their bodies?]
Harlan. The aliens. The letters from the dead. The world's most screwed up video game. It's a pretty damn interesting puzzle to put together, all in all. But it sounds to me like you already have some ideas.
