"Wouldn't an apocolyptic event mean that at least 90% of the population has been scourged from the face of the earth? What truely is the chance of finding another living soul let alone an entire working colony on the face of the earth? He said three years after so you also have to account for everyone who'd have died due to lack of medical supplies and hospitals.

Just going off of what people have said here, they won't take too kindly to strangers. After three years people are going to be pretty paranoid and other forms of crazy. I can't "prove" how things will be but I can use my own form of logic however un-logical others may find it.

Them's the facts according to me. What say you?"

"Pulling some craziness out of her stomach? Sounds to me like some parasite. Maybe this guy is on to something?

It amazes me that people are so taken back by this. I didn't figure jumping to conclusions was a good survival strategy. Besides, you know how many scientist that helped shaped modern word were actually Nazis snatched up by project Paperclip? Some is their methods were absolutely terrible, but the information was absolutely priceless and paved the way for a lot of things we take for granted.

It's like people that love cheese burgers, but freak out over watching a cow be slaughtered. "

"Just because something is done in secret doesn't mean it's nefarious. It just means...wait, we don't know what it means.

Just because Spouse knows nothing, doesn't mean it isn't legit. If everyone in the medical team there needs to know about it they would've told them. Maybe the doctor is the only one that knows what he is doing and has the blessing from the leadership. Maybe they just think that the lay people wouldn't understand what he was trying to do for the good of the community.

The supplies shake up might be a totally seperate issue. The biggest thing is we just don't know what the hell is going on."

"Okay, I'm going to respond to the whole thread. Firstly, it could be a legitamite medical proceedure, and now that I find out there was something weird in a girl's stomach, I think maybe it's being kept quiet so people don't freak out. I'll get everything ready to go and go talk to the higher-ups about it. If I don't like their reaction, I'll hit the road.

Anyway, about poisoning them for experimenting on criminals, here's the thing, you're saying:
a. Criminals do wrong +
b. People do wrong to them=
c. You poison people

So, Batman kills the Joker, therefore you must poison Batman?

Also, isn't "criminals" a vauge term.

Also, like I said, if they are taking a wriggling thing out of someone's stomach, it's either a medical proceedure or a weird experiment, as in they are the reason it was in there.

I think I'll pack my gear and bide my time, try to find out more and see if it's safe to talk to the authority figures here.

"How long do you stick around for? I'd be packing up inconspicuously and hoping more information is coming. But if it isn't readily available, do you really sit there and wait? Can you trust these people? They're witholding important information from you.

I expect some morals to lapse. But there should always be a line or you can't trust the people within your community."

"A week later you sent down yet again and again peek in.

An old (70+) man is strapped down but doesn't appear to be have been opened like the others.

Not seeing anyone you open the door and quietly poke your head in and though he twitches at your presence he makes no sound.

Still something strikes you as off and it takes you a minute to realize that his arms are backwards. Elbows bending forward. You note the presence of stitches around the shoulders indicating that his arms have been surgically switched then immediatly exit and report to your spouse your latest find."
