I don't know what I saw yesterday, but I don't think I'm the only one who saw it.

I need information about a brainwashing facility that might have existed twenty, maybe thirty years ago. Or anything dealing with imPorts, if there's a record of that. I've been looking into it, but I haven't had a lot of luck turning anything up.

I want to know if that was real.

I'm not feeling particularly compliant or fond of the government right now, if that's what you're asking. Jury's out on whether I'll suddenly go rogue and start attacking other imPorts for criticizing them, though.

The government are total shite. Both the current government and the government that existed 20-30 years ago.

[sassguard]

Most governments usually are.

You didn't get any visions yourself, did you?

[rathercommon]

Yeah, but not of the past. The future. Anyway, when I was saying all that, no annoyance, nothing?

[sassguard]

THAT'S your idea of testing me if I've been brainwashed?

[rathercommon]

Well you SAID you weren't sure if you'd start attacking other imPorts for criticising the government.

[sassguard]

That was a joke.

But for the record, no. No annoyance. If what I saw was what really happened, and if the current government condoned or was involved with any of that... that's not good.

[rathercommon]

Well, but-- the current government's the outcome of THAT government getting overthrown. That's certainly what the history books imply, right?

[sassguard]

Not to sound paranoid, but they probably wrote those books. It shouldn't be this hard to find information from that time.

[rathercommon]

Honestly...I don't know. I've known wicked governments, and this one really doesn't seem to me to be one of them. It seems more...divided. I think there are elements in it that haven't broken away from the old ways, that still carry the memory of that evil, but I think that most people in it try their best.

[sassguard]

I don't think they're evil. I just think they've got their own agenda -- but you could say the same for most people here.
