[Almost two weeks spent in Malnosso captivity and what does Gregor have to show for it?

Lots and lots of band-aids, mostly. Also a minor cold that has turned into a chesty cough.

Instead of any great torture, drugs, or whatever he'd been expecting, the Malnosso mostly took DNA samples. Blood samples. Tissue samples. He's from further in Earth-universe's future than most besides Ivan, so maybe his specific point in human evolution was of interest. He understands the "lab rat" metaphor pretty well now. There hadn't been a lot of space in his cell, so he's a little stiff and sore. At least the hallucinations are gone. That had been the worst part--having to assure himself that this was a normal reaction to solitary confinement. He slowly heaves himself to his feet, blindly scrabbling for his journal. Writing is not easy with all his bandaged fingertips, so he speaks, sounding hoarse, slightly congested, and exhausted.]
 

Ivan. [A pause. ] Buffy. Adele. Whoever's...interested, this is Greg. I'm back. [He coughs a couple of times, fairly hard.] The Malnosso...anyway, I'm fine. It...wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm heading home now. Did someone take care of my horse?

[He'll take about fifteen minutes to walk home from his spot in the woods.]

We can't. It's something to think about, though. Keeping a bottle on your person just in case.

Isn't the common practice to have a false tooth in that instance?

[It's simpler if she doesn't think about it. Or the requests she'd been given, and declined, to remove a molar now and then. It wasn't her field.]

That's a great deal more efficient, if macabre.

As much as I would like to say I think our minders are above such brutality; I know for certain it is not the case.

I think they're interested in whatever they can learn from us, of us, or through us.

I've given up on attempting to learn their intentions beyond 'because we can'.

That is but one of the things about the Malnosso that worries me.

We know that because they've told us as much. I don't expect them to be entirely honest- though that's most likely to be true. As for the rest...we're tools and test subjects. Collusion requires shared information, which isn't something they're overly fond of.

What they use to make their newest version of droids, for one. We've some idea- but it came at a price.

Which makes the fact that it was more or less planted information all the more questionable. I can't help but think there's more than one faction at work in the organization aside from the rogue branch we know of.

The rules are as fluid as the physics in the village. It makes it somewhat difficult to pin them down.

Individuals that do so on their own time, most likely, but no formal organization.

Because our sources are limited, our priorities skewed, and the age range in the village tilted heavily to those younger than twenty.
