. . . Federal training? Does anyone know what that's about?

And does anyone have more information on what exactly happened to Landel?

If it was a mistake, it's possible it was a technical one. Depending on how heavily they rely on automated systems, and how many redundancies they've built in, it might take them a while to get back on track and pull off a cover up. And that's assuming they're not busy dealing with fallout from last night.

Strange that none of the staff seem to have noticed anything wrong, if it is a mistake. Either they're very good at keeping a straight face, or they're even less aware than they seem.

Ah, seems like you know something about this.

And that is pretty weird. Maybe they're all just automatons when it comes down to it. Either that, or the announcement was supposed to go off for some reason. I don't know why, since it seems too old.

I've done work in the field. Engineering automated systems, not psychopathic zombie-infested death traps. Just so there's no misunderstanding.

It does. And it doesn't match the story they've been feeding us so far. Unbelievable as it is, they've stuck to it determinedly, from what I can tell. Their being automatons of some sort seems like the more likely explanation.

I figured. Glad to have a couple experts like you around.

Maybe under some sort of mind control, like the patients taken for Special Counseling?

That seems like a reasonable possibility. Condition them to ignore certain forms of input to keep them behaving within expected parameters. It would have to be long-term, rather than the episodic control that seems to be inflicted on the Special Counseling patients. Assuming we're not all sleeper agents.

That's what I was thinking. It would explain a lot of their behavior, how they can behave as if they really believe this is a normal mental institution, etc.
