I have some important news, and I know this is something many among you have been hoping for. It's not an uncommon occurrence that when one is pulled through the portal into Babylon, not only does a person suffer confusion at the displacement, distress at the revelation that their life as they have known it is a fabrication designed for entertainment purposes, and sadness for the loved ones they have left behind; but there is also an overwhelming sense that they have left business unfinished in the world from whence they came.

I've felt very privileged that our government has thus far so willingly entrusted me with handling their communication with the formerly fictional residents of this dome, and even more so that I am now being asked to deliver this news to you.

The scientists of Babylon have recently made improvements on the process that brings people into this world, but they have also taken the concerns of you, valued citizen, into account and treated them with the gravity they deserve. From this day forth any person who wishes to return to their world may do so, thanks to the round-the-clock efforts of Babylon's specialists in the advancement of portal technology.

For further information, please refer yourselves to the front desk in the main government building. Obviously this is going to be an ongoing process, and we ask for your patience regarding any waiting that may occur in order to make it as streamlined as possible. Thank you.

Sure, people who want an army of babies are gonna let us just walk like that. From what I remember, that's not how prison works.

You don't believe it?

What kind of moron do you think I am? I'm not saying they haven't got the portal to do some fancy new tricks, but can you really imagine just letting us all waltz on out of here? After the amount of money they poured into getting us all comfy?

[morelier]

I didn't accuse you of anything. Just asking your opinion.

Sorry, I get kind of bitchy when politicians lie to people, it's a history thing.

I'm sorry you feel that your life here has been comparable. But I think this action proves unequivocally that this was never the intent, Miss Lehane.

I'll believe it when I see it, Petrelli. Though it wouldn't surprise me if everyone who "volunteers" just disappears.

[ex_whoosh450]

And how would the government possibly benefit from simply making these people "disappear?"

[notwalking]

Well, if they're threats to you.

[ex_whoosh450]

You really think the government here is already so deep in my pocket that they're prepared to do my bidding, killing at my will? Conspiracy theories need to work with human nature to be remotely viable, Dalton, not against it.

[notwalking]

I don't put anything past you, sir.

[ex_whoosh450]

No one's stopping you from staying, you know. I can't say in all honestly that I'll miss these illuminating little conversations if you don't, however.

[notwalking]

Oh, rest assured, so will I. There are things on the horizon that are far bigger and better than you, though. You understand.

were you born a skeptic, babe?

[repent]

Nah, had it kicked into me.

[lickthatdevil.livejournal.com]
