Who the hell are you?

Home.

[ "not a warship anymore" - except is that really true? holden and his crew are as involved as anyone in the whole thing. in the war, in the ring, in the protomolecule and everything it stands for. ]

I've never heard of anything like that. What else do they do?

Not really what I meant, but OK.

A lot. It's a computer and it's in your head. I don't have time to explain all of it. I've already said to another one of you that I'll try to find a guide later.

What about the drugs, do you know anything about those?

No. There are drugs that mess with your cognitive functions, but loss of control to the level you've experienced is way beyond that. Definitely illegal, too, which means definitely unregulated, but none of you are showing any bad side effects or withdrawal. Yet. Which means whoever made it really knew what they were doing.

great

[ what wonderful news. but hey, he has more questions. ]

who are you hiding from?

The government, the corporations who work with the government, the cops, the UNA, regular people who are desperate enough that they'd give us up for some cash. Take your pick.

why?

Why what? We stand against what they do and how they do it and they consider us criminals for it.

what do they do and how do they do it? i don't know anything about this government or about you

You don't know anything about a lot of things, and this is the one you pick?

Yes. I want to understand.

You're not going to understand from me trying to summarize decades of corruption and oppression and murder and I'm not wasting my time doing it.

you'd be surprised

I'd rather not. I've had enough surprises tonight, thanks.
