Conversation 104 - Army Base Camp (Instructional Audio 10)

Conversation between M. Schobel and J. Guerra:

M: So it's an experiment.

J: On the mind, yes. What we do is place the person into containment.

M: And experiment.
J: Precisely. We give them a laptop and wifi, set them up in isolation, and see what they turn to. This particular subject-

M: Chicago Ted?

J: Yes, an alias he came up with. He reached out to others that survived in the area. We had released a control group of men with little food, water, and protection, to see if they would rally to Chicago Ted.

M: Interesting.

J: Yes. We now know how they'll react in survivor situations.

M: Shame about the boy.

J: You feel remorse? I do not.

M: He was only sixteen, [REDACTED].

J: My dear [REDACTED], you treat Chicago Ted as if he was human. You mustn't-

Deeeeeeeeoooooooop.

M: What is that?

J: The damn audio logs. They keep going off.

This is Brandon Banton, responding to Steven May in regards to media as a whole. The entire conversation is in essence moot for several reasons.

Digital media is making a very strong argument for itself. Interaction. Freedom. Individual development. All these things appeal strongly to the marketplaces -

J: Found the off switch.

M: It's weird to hear his voice so young.

J: Who, Mr. Banton?

M: Yeah.

J: Well, speaking of him, we need to get these results to his desk before Friday.

M: What does he make of your little 'experiment'?

J: Good [REDACTED], he created the experiment. I merely run it.
