Though this evening's correspondence all seems to hinge on a particular theme, I'm afraid I'm going to have to break the pattern. Don't bother asking if anything more than anniversary fever has gotten into our fellow citizens, though, because I don't have that information at this time.

This is just a note to say the week's trial period is over. So if you can drop your Electronic Children off in the padded container provided next to the regular mailbox, that'd be a big help to us, and everything will move along much smoother. If you've broken your Child you'll have to fill out a form available at the government offices.

Thanks, guys. I hope all this isn't too much trouble, and that you all enjoyed the festivities hosted in honor of us being here. I think we've all made new friends in this place, and the Babylon Government thinks a year is definitely worth celebrating.

I want to keep mine.

After we've collected the data everyone is free to recollect theirs.

Oh good. Mine are definitely the strongest.

I'm not sure that was supposed to be the goal, Axel.

[heatstruck.livejournal.com]

It's my goal.

Whatever keeps you off the streets, I guess.

If you don't mind my asking...what will the data be used for?

[ex_whoosh450]

I'm fairly sure they just wanted a record of who looked after their little machine and who didn't; I know it has something to do with the Repopulation Division but I'm not really involved enough in that to say what.

That sounds a little ominous...

[ex_whoosh450]

If it helps, they're not spying on anyone and I doubt they could get any real information out of who remembered to feed the things.

I don't mean to be rude, Petrelli-san, but if it wasn't useful to them somehow, I don't think they'd bother, and after last night, I think it's a little hard not to worry with what they might do with anything.
